Welcome to Merlin++!! We hope you enjoy your stay. The current version of Merlin++ is 5.02.

The follow provides a very quick build guide. For a full in-depth installation guide please refer to the provided QuickStartGuide.pdf in the Documentation directory.

Create a build directory, and cd into it.

To configure, run:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release $PATH_TO_MERLIN_DIR

for example, if you created the build directory inside the Merlin++ directory,

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

To interactivly configure with more options, run:

ccmake $PATH_TO_MERLIN_DIR

To build run:

make OR make -jN

where 'N' is the number of CPUs available for parallel builds, e.g.

make -j4

The libmerlin.so library will be built in the build directory.

To run a test script to confirm successfull installation run

make test

Success!! Have fun with Merlin++!

You can find user information and other documentation in the Documentation directory.

For a full class library definitions and corresponding descriptions, run
