README file for the 'CVEC' GAP4 package
To get the newest version of this GAP 4 package download the archive file
cvec-x.x.tar.gz
and unpack it using
tar xvf cvec-x.x.tar.gz
Do this in a directory called pkg, preferably (but not necessarily)
in the pkg subdirectory of your GAP 4 installation. It creates a
subdirectory called cvec-x.x.
To install this package do
cd cvec-x.x
./configure
If you installed cvec in another directory than the usual pkg
subdirectory, do
./configure --with-gaproot=path
where 'path' is a path to the main GAP root directory. See
./configure --help
for further options.
Afterwards call make to compile a binary file.
The package will not work without this step.
If you installed the package in another pkg directory than the standard
pkg directory in your GAP 4 installation, then you have to add the path
to the directory containing your pkg directory to GAP's list of directories.
This can be done by starting GAP with the -l command line option
followed by the name of the directory and a semicolon. Then your directory
is prepended to the list of directories searched. Otherwise the package
is not found by GAP. Of course, you can add this option to your GAP
startup script.
Recompiling the documentation is possible by the command gap makedoc.g
in the cvec directory. But this should not be necessary.
