3.2 Compiling the Library

To run the default process that compiles Math.h++, follow the steps below. For complete information on compiling libraries, see the SPM online help.

NOTE: If you use plan to use Math.h++ with Rogue Wave's LAPACK.h++, read Section 3.4 before compiling the library.

From the Installed Parts folder on the Build Info tab, select Math_<ver>_<osfam> as the part you're working on. Click the Build button. The build dialog will appear on your screen.
Select source as the part you wish to build.
Choose the configuration for compiling your library. A configuration specifies environment and build options that SPM will use to compile Math.h++. The SPM online help provides more information about configurations.

To build the library for an environment that is not shown, or to specify build or link options that are not described by any of the configurations on your screen, you must create a new configuration. Review the SPM online help for information about how to add or edit configurations.

After selecting a configuration, click on OK.
Answer the SPM questions. Additional information about answering these questions is in the readme file listed in Section 1.7.

SPM exports the files needed for the build to the workspace and implements the build within the buildloc directory. Section 2.3 describes the workspace directory structure, and Section 2.4 describes how the library names are encoded.
