Building¶

Quick guide for users on 100% compatible systems

We assume that you have successfully downloaded and unpacked the package, possibly including 3rd-party packages in sphinx/sxaccelerate/3rd-party/packages/ .

Please make sure that CPU throttling is deactivated when compiling (specifically: ATLAS!).

   cd sphinx
   ./setup
   ./configure --disable-debug
   make all
   make install

If this does not work, please read the rest of this page.

You may want to run the testbed after compilation.
