14Source code layout:
15
16build/          - build directory (created by make).
17math/           - math subproject sources.
18math/include/   - math library public headers.
19math/test/      - math test and benchmark related sources.
20math/tools/     - tools used for designing the algorithms.
21networking/     - networking subproject sources.
22networking/include/ - networking library public headers.
23networking/test/ - networking test and benchmark related sources.
24string/         - string routines subproject sources.
25string/include/ - string library public headers.
26string/test/    - string test and benchmark related sources.

28The steps to build the target libraries and run the tests:
29
30cp config.mk.dist config.mk
31# edit config.mk if necessary ...
32make
33make check
34
35Or building outside of the source directory:
36
37ln -s path/to/src/Makefile Makefile
38cp path/to/src/config.mk.dist config.mk
39echo 'srcdir = path/to/src' >> config.mk
40# further edits to config.mk
41make
42make check
43
44Or building and testing the math subproject only:
45
46make all-math
47make check-math
48
49The test system requires libmpfr and libmpc.
50For example on debian linux they can be installed as:
51
52sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev
53
54For cross build, CROSS_COMPILE should be set in config.mk and EMULATOR
55should be set for cross testing (e.g. using qemu-user or remote access
56to a target machine), see the examples in config.mk.dist.
