Alice from Sources ================== This README explains how to install the Alice system from source packages. Getting what you need --------------------- You will nedd the following source archives, in this order: seam-.tar.gz alice-.tar.gz alice-gtk-.tar.gz alice-gecode-.tar.gz alice-sqlite-.tar.gz alice-xml-.tar.gz alice-runtime-.tar.gz Installing Seam and the Alice Language Layer -------------------------------------------- Unpack the seam-.tar.gz archive somewhere. Change into the directory of the unpacked sources and call ./configure make all make install You can use the --prefix option for configure to specify a different installation directory. Please note that on platforms other than x86, you will have to use the --disable-lightning option, which will disable just-in-time native code compiler support. Proceed the same way with the alice-.tar.gz archive. Installing the support libraries -------------------------------- For each of the alice--.tar.gz archives, you simply have to call make compiledll MUST_GENERATE=no make installdll MUST_GENERATE=no in the corresponding directory after unpacking. Make sure that you have the gtk, gecode, sqlite3, and gtk2 libraries and development headers installed on your system. The installation process depends on the alice package being properly installed. Installing the runtime system ----------------------------- Unpack the alice-runtime-.tar.gz archive and call ./configure make all install Make sure to specify the same --prefix you used for seam and alice. Congratulations! You should now have a working installation of Alice.
