rpn v2.3.2 - generation

For now rpn is proposed only for GNU/Linux

It can be generated following the steps below

version identification

rpn is dynamically linked against GNU MP and GNU MPFR

and embeds the source code of linenoise-ng as a submodule

It is necessary to get MPFR to generate rpn

install GNU MPFR headers

• download GNU MPFR from http://www.mpfr.org
• install it with usual autotools commands ./configure && make && make install

generate rpn

• clone rpn project or download a zipped version from the release directory

  # git clone https://github.com/louisrubet/rpn.git
  

• make

  CMake must be installed on the generation machine

  # cd rpn/
  # mkdir build
  # cd build && cmake .. && make
  

• install

  # cd rpn/build
  # sudo make install
  

• packages

  To build RPM package you should install CMake 2.6.0 or higher

  # cd rpn/build
  # sudo make package
