The Tecla library was written with portability in mind, so nomodifications to the source code should be needed on UNIX or LINUXplatforms. The default compilation and linking arrangements shouldalso work unchanged on these systems, but if no specific configurationhas been provided for your system, shared libraries won't be compiled.Configuring these requires modifications to be made to the file:  configure.inThis file is heavily commented (comments start with the word dnl) andis relatively simple, so the instructions and suggestions that youfind in this file should be sufficient to help you figure out how toadd a configuration for your system. This file is an input file to theGNU autoconf program, which uses it as a template for generating thedistributed configure script. If autoconf is installed on your system,creating a new configure script is a simple matter of typing.  autoconfTo avoid confusion with the leftovers of the previous configuration,you should then do the following: rm -f config.cache ./configure make clean ./configure makeThe first ./configure creates a new makefile for your system, allowingyou to type 'make clean' to discard any files that were compiled withthe previous configuration. Since 'make clean' also deletes the newmakefile, a second invokation of the configure script is thenperformed to re-create the makefile. The final make then creates thetecla library from scratch.Once you have confirmed that the new configuration works, please sendthe modified "configure.in" template to mcs@astro.caltech.edu, so thatyour changes can be included in subsequent releases.
