Overview
Because of the number and complexity of its external dependencies, the The easiest way to build the SLIC simulator package slic binary is using the SimDist CVS project.
Depending on your system speed, the entire build process will take around 2 hours, but starting the automated build only takes about 5 minutes.
Supported Platforms
The SimDist project requires a Unix-like environment. The cvs head currently builds successfully on Linux (tested on Redhat Enterprise Linux), OSX, and Windows using Cygwin. The recommended compiler version is gcc 4.1 or greater, though depending on your platform, a gcc 3 series compiler might work.
Required Build Tools
SimDist requires a number of different build tools beyond the standard ones you may have on your system. This is because the project has a lot of external dependencies, each of which has its own build system.
Here is the list of required binaries that must be on your PATH in order to build SimDist successfully.
If one or more of these is not present, then you or your admin should install it before proceeding.
Basic Build Procedures
If you want to execute each step of the build yourself, these are the commands used by the build script (covered in next section).
