Installation and throubleshooting

0. The windows platform are not supported in the current version.

1. Please first bootstrap the build using

   ./configure.sh <opt: compiler>

   where the <opt> optional argument can be used to select a specific compiler (or compiler version). If the field is left empty, or the requested compiler cannot be found, a list of compilers will be checked until one is found in the system. If none is found, the script will abort.

2. The codebase relies on libpthread and libomp. In general, libomp may not be provided by default in your system. A possible solution is to install the LLVM framework, which can be done via your preferred package manager: for macOS more information here, for linux systems more information here. Even after proper installation, it might happen that the linker is not able to find the library. This can happen, for instance, if the library has been installed in a directory not included in your PATH, or in a format like libomp.so.<version>. In the latter case, if the library is in a directory already in the PATH, a symlink libomp.so must be created by the user. In the former case, the configuration script can be informed of the path to the library via

   LIBOMP_PATH="<path-to-libomp.so>" ./configure.sh <opt>

   The configuration script will then try to compile a test program using the provided path to libomp.so. In case of a failure, please check carefully that the provided path is correct. If no error is encountered, compile.sh and a Makefile are generated, which can be used to compile the library and the tests by running ./compile.sh The compilation will happen on all the available logical cores of the machine. If the compilation succeeds, the static library libtw3ev.a will be generated in the $lib folder.
