BUILDING EO
==================================================================
The basic installatio procedure goes the following:
- go to the EO directory - that was created when you unzipped the
archive file.
- run
./autogen.sh
- run
make
and that's it. You should probably go to the tutorial and start
learning about EO features and programming.
WARNING: Compiling all test programs can take some time.
But you don't have to:
- you can simply type
make lib
and then go in your application (or in the tutorial) dir and run make
cd tutorial
make
In case of problems, you can read the INSTALL file - but remember this
is a standard installation file from GNU and that it contains nothing
specific about EO.
===================================================================
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
===================================================================
After unpacking the archive file, you should end up with the following
structure:
.../ the MAIN EO dir, created when unpacking
|
+-- src SOURCE dir. Contains most EO .h files
| |
| +- utils general utilities (e.g. RNG-related source files)
| |
| +- ga bistring-genotypes source files
| |
| +- es real-valued-genotypes source files
| |
| +- gp Genetic Programming source files
| |
| +- obsolete files from old versions - for upward compatibility
|
|
|
+-- tutorial TUTORIAL dir (indeed :-)
| |
| +- html all html files - start by browsing index.html
| |
| +- LessonX for X=1, 2, 3, ... : example of increasing complexity
|
|
|
+-- doc DOCUMENTATION dir (generated by Doxygen)
| |
| +- html HTML files - start at index.html (see also tutorial)
| |
| +- latex latex files - use to generate Poatscript doc.
| |
| +- man Unix man format documentation
|
|
+-- test TEST files - for debugging purposes only
|
|
+-- app APPLICATIONS - one dir per separate application
| |
| +- gprop GA/backpropagation for neural nets
| |
| +- mastermind the wellknown MasterMind game
|
|
+-- win WINDOWS dir: project files for MS/VC5+

NOTES
===================================================================
if you extracted a fresh snapshot from the cvs-repository, remember to do:
$> ./autogen.sh --enable-maintainer-mode
instead of
$> ./autogen.sh
before making the libraries.
