General information
===================

Name		: glip
Version		: 0.4fix1
Summary		: GLIP -- Group Library for Isomorphism under Permutations
License		: LGPL
Vendor:		: Nicolas M. Thiéry <nthiery@users.sourceforge.net>
URL		: http://glip.sourceforge.net/
Requires	: 
Description	:
GLIP is a C++ library dealing with isomorphism problems under
 permutation groups.

Supported platforms
===================

To the best of our knowledge, GLIP is written in ANSI C++, and should
be fairly portable. However, it uses relatively recent features of the
standard (templates, partial specialization, namespaces and the
Standard Template Library), which may not yet be well supported by all
C++ compilers. Our guess is that GLIP is likely to run as is on any
UNIX system with a recent C++ compiler. Under windows, the build
system will need to be reworked, but aside from this, it may work!

GLIP has been tested on the following platforms:

 - Linux (i386 glibc 2.1), egcs 2.91.66/1.1.2), gcc 2.95.2
 - AIX, egcs 2.91.66
 - SGI, gcc 2.95.2

Any positive and negative feedback would be appreciated!

Download and Installation
=========================

glip is distributed on the web page (see above) in precompiled
RPMs (GNU/linux i386), source RPMs and source code. The file 'INSTALL'
contains instructions for installation from source code. Basically, it
follows the usual scheme:

	unpack, ./configure, make, make check, make install.

contact directly the authors (see the file 'AUTHORS').

Please include the following information in any bug report:
 - Some information about your system:
   - What operating system and version,
   - For Linux, what version of the C library,
   - The version of the compiler (if you know),
   - Anything else you think is relevant;
 - A description of the bug itself;
 - If you can reproduce the bug, the exact steps to reproduce it;
 - Anything else which you think is helpful.


Notes for the maintainer
========================

The configure script us generated by automake/autoconf. Here is the
sequence of commands to recompile fully from scratch:

	make maintainer-clean
	rm -f config.cache configure
	autoreconf
	./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --config-cache
	make
	make check
	make install
