In order to install properly POP-C++ from source, you will need following software:

• C++ compiler
• GNU make
• Cmake
• Flex / Bison.
• cxxtest (only to run the unit tests)

On Ubuntu or debian the installation of dependencies can be easily done with:

sudo apt-get install g++ cmake flex bison cxxtest

user@computer$ cmake .

Once the configuration script is done.

user@computer$ make

user@computer$ make install

You might use sudo or to be root tu execute "make install" if you do not have the right to write in the destination folder.

The installation script will ask you several questions. Here they are:

1. DO YOU WANT TO CONFIGURE POP-C++ SERVICES? (y/n)

You can configure the POP-C++ Global Services by answering "y" to this question.

2. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A SIMPLE INSTALLATION ? (y/n)

If you answered "y" at the 1st question, you will be asked if you want to make a simple installation. The simple installation will set the default parameters. If you want to parameterize the POP-C++ Global Services, answer "n".

Do not forget to add these lines to your .bashrc file or equivalent : If you have kept the default options this should give you something like:

POPC_LOCATION=/usr/local/popc
export POPC_LOCATION=/usr/local/popc
PATH=$PATH:$POPC_LOCATION/bin:$POPC_LOCATION/sbin

The next thing to do is to start the job manager of POP-C++ with

/usr/local/popc/sbin/SXXpopc start

The release directory contains a test suite. This test suite is located under ./test

You can execute the test suite by running the "runtests" script with the "-all" option.

user@computer$ ./runtests -all
