1. Installation

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

    ./configure
    make

followed by an optional

    make install

Type ./configure --help for a list of available options.
More information is availabel in the file INSTALL.

Optionally, you may install DOLFIN locally in the current source
tree, which is a convenient way of running the demos without needing
to install DOLFIN on your system:

    ./configure.local
    make
    make install
    make demo

Note that you need to add the directory `pwd`/local/bin/ to your
path. (You will be reminded of this when running ./configure.local.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Compatibility

 - When compiling on non-Linux systems, you may need to use gmake
   instead of make.

 - When compiling with g++ (gcc), you may need version 3.4 or higher.
