Linux

Installing from sources

Before extraction, make sure you have the glib headers properly installed.

The headers are normally not included in the default installation. Following is the list of additional packages to install depending on the distribution:

Distribution	Packages to install
Ubuntu	libglib2.0-dev

Probably, the name of the packages are similar in other distributions, just search for “glib” in your package manager and find out.

When you have the headers, extract the downloaded file

tar -vxzf liblqr-1-X.Y.Z-T.tar.gz

where you will substitute what's appropriate for X.Y.Z-T.
This will create a directory called liblqr-1-X.Y.Z, ener into it and issue

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

The last step requires that you have administrative privileges on your computer.

It is strongly advised to use the —prefix=/usr option in order to avoid problems with the linker at execution time.

The name of the installed library is lqr1, see the included documentation and examples for usage instructions.

Uninstalling

Just go back to the library directory and issue

sudo make uninstall

Ubuntu precompiled packages

The Download page contains two Ubuntu packages: liblqr1 and liblqr1-dev. The first one contains the binaries, and it's the essential package. The second one includes the headers, the documentation and the examples, and it is only needed to compile some other program against the LqR library.

To install, just double-click on them after download.
