Coan

Linux tarball

To build coan from source, you must have installed the GNU Build System with C++ support. It is assumed you have done this.
Download the tarball to a location under your home directory
Extract the directory coan from the tarball. Do not rename it.
To install from source with the default GCC compiler:
- Open a command console and cd into the coan directory
- Run ./configure
- If all is well, run make
- If all is well, run make check if you want to run the test scripts. N.B. This will take a long time. If the make check is successful it will print
  All 5 tests passed
- If make check fails, capture its output and send it with a bug report.
- Run make install
To install from source with the Clang C++ compiler >= v3.1:-
- You must have installed Clang, as well as the GNU build system with C++ support. You must have clang++ on your PATH.
- Then, follow the same procedure as for GCC, but instead of running ./configure, run:-
  ./configure CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS=-isystem=/usr/include/c++/X.Y.Z
  where X.Y.X is the GCC version number whose C++ library you wish to use.
To test that Coan is installed:
- Run coan -v, and expect output like:
  coan, version 5.1.2 for 64 bit Unix/Linux (built Jun 4 2012,11:23:05) coan: while parsing options: progress 0x02101: Completed, exit code 0x00
- Run man coan, and expect to see the coan man page.

Linux DEB

Download the appropriate binary DEB for your system:
- For X86 machines, coan_X.Y.Z-for-Ubuntu_10.04_i386.deb
- For X86_64 machines, coan_X.Y.Z-for-Ubuntu_10.04_amd64.deb
Your Linux system probably provides a graphical installer for DEBSs. In that case just click on the DEB to invoke the graphical installer.
To install the binary DEB from the commandline, e.g. for the X86 architecture, run dpkg –i coan_X.Y.Z-for-Ubuntu_10.04_i386.deb. The same command suffices to upgrade an existing installation. Consult man dpkg for documentation.

Linux RPM

Download the appropriate binary RPM for your system:
- E.g. for X86 machines, coan-X.Y.Z-for-Fedora_15.i386.rpm
- E.g. for X86_64 machines, coan-X.Y.Z-for-Fedora_16.x86_64.rpm
Your Linux system probably provides a graphical installer for RPMs. In that case just click on the RPM to invoke the graphical installer.
To install the binary RPM from the commandline, e.g. for the X86 architecture, run rpm –ivh coan-X.Y.Z-for-Fedora_15.i386.rpm. To upgrade an existing installation replace the -i option with -U. Consult man rpm for documentation.

Windows

Download the Windows binary coan-X.Y.Z.x86.exe or coan-X.Y.Z.x86_64.exe to a location of your choice.
Rename it to coan.exe.
If neccessary, modify the PATH environment variable on your system to include the path where coan.exe is located. (You will need to be logged in as an administrator to do this).
To test that Coan is installed, run coan -v, and expect output like:
coan, version 5.1.2 for 64 bit Windows (built Jun 4 2012,11:23:05) coan: while parsing options: progress 0x02101: Completed, exit code 0x00
