This Templates directory contains template files of an EO project and a script createEOproject.sh to create a complete new EO project. The template requires a complete installation of EO, that is, you must have run "make install" in the build-directory. In particular, the C++ compiler must find the EO include files and the linker must find the EO libraries. Most probably, that means that you have to set the variables CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH, i.e. for a standard installation and using tcsh: setenv CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH /usr/local/include/eo:"$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" setenv LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib:"$LIBRARY_PATH" When running bash, use this: export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include/eo:"$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:"$LIBRARY_PATH" You can freely move the created project around. However, whenever you change the location of the source- or build-directories, you need to run touch configure.ac && autoreconf in the source-directory and make in the build-directory (which might or might not be the same for you). See README.manual for more details.
