Install guide

Source distribution

This section explains how to install Teem from the source distribution.

Prerequisites

To compile Teem, you need a working and fairly recent c++ compiler (at least 3.4 when using g++), a working sh compatible shell and the following libraries:

• libboost (http://www.boost.org/)
• liban (http://lis.epfl.ch/resources/download/)
• libishtarnet (http://lis.epfl.ch/resources/download/)
• libishtarservices (http://lis.epfl.ch/resources/download/)
• libishtarsettings (http://lis.epfl.ch/resources/download/)

Additionally, you may want to get the following optional libraries:

• libenki (required for fast 2D simulation,http://lis.epfl.ch/resources/download/)
• libSDL1.2 and libSDL-image1.2 (required for viewer support, http://www.libsdl.org)
• libavcodec (required for video recording, http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net)

Compilation

Once you have downloaded and extracted the Teem source distribution, you have to configure it by typing

./configure

in Teem's directory. Then you can make it by typing

make

Now the teem executable is available in ./main/teem. You can get help on command line arguments by typing ./main/teem --help.

If you want to install Teem system wide, you can type

make install

To do so, you may need root privileges depending on your setup.

SVN

This section explains how to compile Teem from an SVN snapshot. It assumes that Teem is already extracted from SVN and does not explain how to use SVN. For an introduction to SVN, visit: http://subversion.tigris.org

Prerequisites

To bootstrap Teem from SVN, you need the following additional tools:

• automake
• autoconf

Generating configure

You first need to create the configure-file by doing

./bootstrap

You can then follow the instructions found in the Compilation section above.
