GTS uses the automake, autoconf suite of GNU utilities. At some point it should then be possible to install GTS transparently on most brands of UNIX. For the moment GTS is being developped on a PC running Linux. A minor problem when porting to other UNIces will concern the control of floating point rounding behavior (necessary for robust arithmetic). This could be done in a portable manner using GSL (the GNU Scientific Library).

You also need to have GLib installed on your system. If GTK or Gnome are already installed on your system, GLib is also already installed.

If you want to install the latest version of GTS from the CVS repository you probably want to read first the CVS instructions. You will need to have automake, autoconf, autoheader and aclocal installed on your machine. Once you have retrieved the sources, change to the gts directory and type:

$ aclocal $ autoheader $ automake -a $ autoconf $ ./configure $ make $ make install

If you have retrieved a GTS package you don't need the automake, autoconf suite. Just move the package to the installation directory and type:

$ gunzip gts-0.4.0.tar.gz $ tar xvf gts-0.4.0.tar $ cd gts-0.4.0 $ ./configure $ make $ make install

See the INSTALL file in your GTS source directory for further details.
