How to install and use GMM++
Since we use standard GNU tools, the installation of the GMM++ library is somewhat standard. Moreover, as GMM++ is a template library, no compilation is needed to install it. If the GMM++ archive is on your current directory you can unpack it and enter inside the directory of the distribution with the commands
gunzip -c gmm-x.xx.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd gmm-x.xx
Then you you have to run the configure script just typing
./configure
or if you want to set the prefix directory where to install the library you can use the --prefix option (the default prefix directory is /usr/local):
./configure --prefix=dest_dir
then start the installation with
make install
You can also check if your configuration is correct with
make check
which compiles random tests.
If you want to use a different compiler than the one chosen automatically by the ./configure script, just specify its name on the command line:
./configure CXX=mycompiler
More specific instructions can be found in the README*
files of the distribution.
Now, to use GMM++ in you programs, the simpler manner is to
include the file gmm/gmm.h which includes all
the template library. If the compilation time is too important, the
minimum to be included is contained is the file gmm/gmm_kernel.h (vectors and matrix types, blas, sub
vector and sub matrices).
DO NOT FORGET to catch errors messages. See the corresponding section.
