Compiling/running

STAMP requires an ANSI C compiler (e.g. GCC) for installation.

STAMP is distributed as a gzipped tar file, which must be uncompressed and untarred to create the installation directory.

On most Unix and Unix-like systems, one can install STAMP with:

    gunzip STAMP.tarfile.gz
    tar -xvf STAMP.tarfile
    cd stamp
    ./BUILD <system type> (e.g. BUILD sgi)

should work.

The systems that are available are:

linux (should also work on Cygwin and MinGW)
osx (Mac OS X) sgi (IRIX64 version 6.2)
mips4-sgi (IRIX64 R10K version 6.2)
dec (OSF1 version 4.0)
sun (SunOS sol4 5.5.1)

All of these are specified by a makefile in the src/ sub-directory. If your system isn't one of the above, then you can probably just use the one that is nearest, and edit the makefile accordingly.

Note that there are several precompiled executables in the distribution. Files found in the directories bin/linux, bin/osx, bin/sgi, bin/sun and bin/dec. You will overwrite these if you attempt a `BUILD' as discussed above. Only the Linux and OS X binaries are current.

The built executables are copied into the directory bin/$<$system-type$>$, which should be added to your to your PATH environment variable, or linked/copied to some central directory, such as /usr/local/bin.
