Installation instructions for Eigen
|
|
***********************************
|
|
|
|
Explanation before starting
|
|
***************************
|
|
|
|
It is very important to understand than Eigen consists only of header files,
|
|
hence there is nothing to compile before you can use it. Moreover, these
|
|
header files do not depend on your platform, they are the same for
|
|
everybody.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method 1. Installing without using CMake
|
|
****************************************
|
|
|
|
You can use right away the headers in the Eigen/ subdirectory. In order
|
|
to install, just copy this Eigen/ subdirectory to your favorite location.
|
|
If you also want the unsupported features, also copy the unsupported/
|
|
subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
Method 2. Installing using CMake
|
|
********************************
|
|
|
|
Let's call this directory 'source_dir'. Before starting, create another
|
|
directory which we will call 'build_dir'.
|
|
|
|
Do:
|
|
|
|
cd build_dir
|
|
cmake source_dir
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The "make install" step may require administrator privileges.
|
|
|
|
You can adjust the installation destination (the "prefix")
|
|
by passing the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=myprefix option to cmake, as is
|
|
explained in the message that cmake prints at the end.
