Install pilot-link by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../pilot-link-&pilot-link-version;-bindings_fix-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-threads \ --enable-conduits \ --with-perl && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/pilot-link-&pilot-link-version; && install -v -m644 README doc/{README.*,TODO,CodingGuidelines} \ /usr/share/doc/pilot-link-&pilot-link-version; --enable-threads: This parameter is required to link the threading library into the build. --enable-conduits: This parameter is required to build the userspace programs. Omit it if you only need the pilot-link libraries. --with-perl: This parameter is required to build the Perl bindings. --with-java --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-python: Use any or all of these options to enable the respective language bindings desired.
