How to use YACL with GNU C++ on most Unix platforms

Last update: June 23rd, 1997

This file provides directions on how to build YACL and its demo programs using GNU C++ on a Unix machine.

Caveat: YACL can only be compiled with GNU C++ versions 2.6.1 and later. Earlier versions crash with internal compiler errors when compiling YACL. Also, YACL cannot be compiled with GNU C++ version 2.7.0; that version also crashes with an internal error.

Building YACL

Here are the steps:

You can also build a debug version of the library via the command

And you can build shared libraries under Linux 2.0 (ELF). Look in quirks file and control/gnu/linux.cfg for details.
