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 also know how to 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). When you add additional source files to the project, simply add them to the _SOURCES variable in src/Makefile.am. Header files should be added to noinst_HEADERS. See README.manual for more details.
