Compiling the Evolving Tree core

To compile the Evolving Tree you need the following tools.

• Make (GNU Make preferred but not required)
• a C++ compiler (GCC recommended)
• the necessary header files, which are almost always included with the compiler
• any Unix shell

The package you have downloaded contains a 'src' subdirectory. Open a shell, navigate to that directory and type 'make' (without the quotes). After Make finishes, the two necessary executables will appear to the main directory

Advanced info

The default build is optimized, without any debug info. To get a debuggable file, run 'make DEBUG=1'.

Due to the simple nature of the code, Autoconf and Automake are not used. They would just create unneeded complexity.

The Makefile has compilation options for some other compilers as well. Browse it for further information.
