Compilation always includes the procedure code which is then saved
in oyster/oyster.cpr. This does not apply to GDL installations,
where code is compiled on the fly. Makefiles exists in the main
directory which simplify the installation. Use make -f Makefile.idl
to compile the IDL installation, and make -f Makefile.gdl to
prepare the GDL installation.
If you need to compile the C/FORTRAN external library due to
incompatibility of your OS with the pre-compiled Linux 64-bit version,
unpack the src.tar.gz file (to be obtained from the author) in
the oyster/source directory. Make sure your OS is either Linux or
Darwin, checking with the uname UNIX command. The Makefiles will
use uname to determine which of the pre-installed Makefiles in
the library directories are used for compilation. The only part of the
Makefile which still has to be edited manually before running make
is Makefile.uname
.in in source/c which needs the path
to the local IDL installation, as well as the location of the libgfortran.a library file. Then run the make -f Makefile.src
command in the home directory.
