- Installation instructions for Eigen
- ***********************************
- Explanation before starting
- ***************************
- Eigen consists only of header files, hence there is nothing to compile
- before you can use it. Moreover, these header files do not depend on your
- platform, they are the same for everybody.
- Method 1. Installing without using CMake
- ****************************************
- You can use right away the headers in the Eigen/ subdirectory. In order
- to install, just copy this Eigen/ subdirectory to your favorite location.
- If you also want the unsupported features, copy the unsupported/
- subdirectory too.
- Method 2. Installing using CMake
- ********************************
- Let's call this directory 'source_dir' (where this INSTALL file is).
- Before starting, create another directory which we will call 'build_dir'.
- Do:
- cd build_dir
- cmake source_dir
- make install
- The "make install" step may require administrator privileges.
- You can adjust the installation destination (the "prefix")
- by passing the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=myprefix option to cmake, as is
- explained in the message that cmake prints at the end.
