Compiling ********* +These instructions are for people who want to compile gudhi from source, they are +unnecessary if you installed a binary package of Gudhi as above. They assume that +you have downloaded a `release <https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel/releases>`_, +with a name like `gudhi.3.2.0.tar.gz`, then run `tar xf gudhi.3.2.0.tar.gz`, which +created a directory `gudhi.3.2.0`, hereinafter referred to as `/path-to-gudhi/`. +If you are instead using a git checkout, beware that the paths are a bit +different, and in particular the `python/` subdirectory is actually `src/python/` +there. + The library uses c++14 and requires `Boost <https://www.boost.org/>`_ :math:`\geq` 1.56.0, `CMake <https://www.cmake.org/>`_ :math:`\geq` 3.1 to generate makefiles, `NumPy <http://numpy.org>`_, `Cython <https://www.cython.org/>`_ and `pybind11 <https://github.com/pybind/pybind11>`_ to compile the GUDHI Python module. It is a multi-platform library and compiles on Linux, Mac OSX and Visual -Studio 2017. +Studio 2017 or later. On `Windows <https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers>`_ , only Python :math:`\geq` 3.5 are available because of the required Visual Studio version. |
