Requirements ============ - C++11 compatible compiler - GMP (GNU multiprecision library) http://gmplib.org/ - (optional) gperftools https://code.google.com/p/gperftools/ - cmake http://www.cmake.org Instructions for DEBUG build mkdir -p build/debug cd build/debug cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ../../src make Instructions for RELEASE build mkdir -p build/release cd build/release cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../../src make Instructions for installing gperftools on Ubuntu sudo add-apt-repository ppa:agent-8131/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install libgoogle-perftools-dev Instructions for installing gcc-4.8 (C++11 compatible) on Ubuntu sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y sudo update-alternatives --remove-all gcc sudo update-alternatives --remove-all g++ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install g++-4.8 -y sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y Instructions for installing clang-3.3 (C++11 compatible) on Ubuntu sudo add-apt-repository ppa:h-rayflood/llvm sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install clang-3.3 clang-3.3-doc Note that you [still need][1] to have g++-4.8's C++ runtime library to support some C++11 features that we are using. You can specify the C++ compiler to use by using ``-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER`` option. For example cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++-3.3 ../../src [1]: http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html
