Compiling ASPECT and generating documentation
Compiling ASPECT and generating documentation#
After downloading ASPECT and having built the libraries it builds on, you can compile it by typing
make
on the command line (or make -jN if you have multiple processors in your
machine, where N is the number of processors). This builds the
ASPECT executable which will reside in the build
directory and will be named aspect. To run
ASPECT from the main source directory, you would need
to reference it as ./build/aspect. If you intend to modify
ASPECT for your own experiments, you may want to also
generate documentation about the source code. This can be done using the
command
cd doc; make
which assumes that you have the doxygen documentation generation tool
installed. Most Linux distributions have packages for doxygen. The result
will be the file doc/doxygen/index.html that is the starting point for
exploring the documentation.
