Install

---

Installation can be performed by copying pasta headers to a directory recognizable as an include path. Additionally, the standard autotools utilities are also provided, more particularly for automatic testing & documentation generation. To generate a configure script, run the following command from an out-of-source directory. This will setup the build environment.

/absolute/path/to/pasta/bootstrap.sh [install-prefix] <extra flags>

• The bootstrap.sh script launches autoreconf to generate project configure file and run it with follow-up commands.
• install-prefix refers to the prefix path to install pasta headers.
• <extra flags> specifies non-standard eigen3 and boost installation directories:
  • --with-eigen, path to eigen3
  • --with-boost, path to boost.
• You can prepend the above command with CXX=<compiler> to specify a compiler to use.

• Use make check to run unit-tests.

• Use make doc to generate the API documentation.

• Use make install to copy header files under prefix/include/pasta and doc files under prefix/share/doc/pasta.

• Use make uninstall to remove installed headers and docs.

• Use make clean and make distclean for a clean re-build.

Usage

---

Note: the pasta/Utilities/io.hh header uses std::filesystem. In gcc-8 a linker flag -stdc++fs needs to be added for any code that includes pasta/Utilities/io.hh to compile.
