****************** INSTALLATION *****************

Unpack the OGDF archive in the directory, where you want to
install OGDF.

Build OGDF (gcc Compiler [Linux, Mac OS]):

  1. Edit makeMakefile.config for your configuration
     (if necessary): check the [GENERAL] section. If
     you do not use Coin, the default parameters should
     be suitable.

  2. Execute makeMakefile.sh to generate a suitable Makefile.

  3. Call make to build the OGDF library (you may also call
     make debug_all to generate a debuggable version).


Build OGDF (Visual Studio [Windows]):

  1. Create Visual Studio project file:

     Visual Studio 2008: Execute the python script makeVCProj.py
       to generate a Visual Studio 2008 project file ogdf.vcproj.

     Visual Studio 2010: Execute the python script makeVCXProj.py
       to generate a Visual Studio 2010 project file ogdf.vcxproj.

  2. Open the created project file (.vcproj or .vcxproj) with
     Visual Studio and call build.

OGDF also contains some optional features which require COIN
Osi as LP solver. It is also possible to generate project
files for Visual Studio 2003 & 2005.
