Building libtecla

Download and extract the latest release

Fetch the latest release from the official site. This is always named libtecla.tar.gz.

wget http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mcs/tecla/libtecla.tar.gz

Extract the tarball to the current directory. A libtecla/ directory will be extracted.

tar xzf libtecla.tar.gz

Configure and build

By default, libtecla will install into /usr/local. If you wish to install the library elsewhere, add --prefix=<desired location> to the following configure command.

Configure the build via: CC=gcc ./configure or CC=clang ./configure, depending upon which compiler you'd like to use.

Note: On OS X 10.9 (XCode 5.0), the following was required after configure generated a Makefile, because the build was attempting to link against a non-existent libgcc.a. If you see this build failure, try simply removing libgcc.a from the build. (Everyone else can ignore this bit.)

mv Makefile Makefile.bak
cat Makefile.bak | sed -e 's/libgcc.a//g' > Makefile

Build with make

Install

sudo make install
