1. Installation

DOLFIN follows GNU standard, so the installation procedure is simple:

	./configure
	make

followed by an optional

	make install

For more details, take a look at the file INSTALL.

A number of options can be given to configure:

	o To use g++ instead of c++:

		./configure CXX=g++

	o To enable optimization:

		./configure CXXFLAGS='-03'
			
	or even

		./configure CXXFLAGS '-O6 -finline-functions -funroll-loops ...
                                      -fstrict-aliasing -felide-constructors'

	o To enable extra debugging code (recommended for developers):

		./configure --enable-debug

	o To disable curses:

		./configure --disable-curses

	o To install locally (not as root):

		./configure --prefix=<dir>

	where <dir> is where you want to install, e.g. /home/logg/local

A note for Solaris users: You probably need to disable curses and use gmake:

	./configure --disable-curses
	gmake
