Compilation Instructions

[Syed Sohaib Ahmad]

Hi, 

I am new to NSP and would like to know how I can compile the nsp-cvs released in September 2020 on Scientific Linux 6.4 using gtk+-2.0. 

I am open to suggestions if I need to change the OS to something else.  

Best Regards

Well,  6.4  seams a bit outdated (Mar 28, 2013) and the prefered version is gtk+-3.0 for nsp.

But you can make a try :  use ./configure  and install package until configure is happy (some are mandatory and others are just for extensions).

If you just have gtk+-2.0 you will have to use

./configure --with-gtk2

I have installed all the above packages, but it still says no, 

Best regards

Hi Syed,

You have not only to install the packages but also the dev packages as an example, for ftw3 you need to install libfftw3-dev

i  libfftw3-dev - Library for computing Fast Fourier Transforms - development

Hi JPC,

Thanks for your input again, I have done that an now nsp seems happy as all the required items are available. 

After this, I ran the make command, this gives me an error, unbound module num. Can you advise on this?

Hello Syed,

Which ubuntu are you finally using ?  For Num you have to install the package

     libnum-ocaml-dev

which was remove from ocaml and turned to an additional package in recent ubuntu versions.

This one is not detected by configure

Hi JPC,

I was initially using scientific linux 6.4, and was having issues in getting all the libs installed. I then moved to Centos 6.10. I managed to install most of the libs but when I ran the make command, I ran into a problem with a rectangle function (I can't recall the full name) missing in the cario.h file. I did some research and then managed to do a comparison of a centos vs ubuntu cario.h and found them to be different. Then ubuntu cario.h file had the rectangle function needed by NSP. I then decided to move to an Ubuntu based distribution. 

Now I am using PopOS 20.04 LTS.

Best Regards

Hi Sohaib,
Fine. Let me know if  libnum-ocaml-dev  was enough to enable you to finish the compilation
