To get started with KPP: Read user's manual (doc/kpp_UserManual.pdf)

To install KPP:

1. Make sure that FLEX (public domain lexical analizer) is installed on your machine. Type "flex --version" to test this.

2. Note down the exact path name where the FLEX library is installed. The library is called: libfl.a or libfl.sh

3. Make sure that BISON is installed on your machine. Type "bison --version" to test this.

4. Define the KPP_HOME environment variable to point to the complete path location of KPP. If, for example, KPP is installed in $HOME/kpp:

   • with C shell (or tcsh) edit the file .cshrc (or .tcshrc) in your home directory and add:

   setenv KPP_HOME $HOME/kpp set path=( $path $HOME/kpp/bin ) ```

   • with bash shell edit the file .bashrc in your home directory and add:

   export KPP_HOME=$HOME/kpp export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/kpp/bin ```

   • Execute 'source ~/.cshrc' (or .tcshrc, or .bashrc) to make sure these changes are in effect.

5. In KPP_HOME directory edit: Makefile.defs and follow the instructions included to specify the compiler, the location of the FLEX library, etc.

6. In KPP_HOME directory build the sources using: make

To clean the KPP installation:
------------------------------

1. Delete the KPP object files with:
	make clean

2. Delete the whole distribution (including the KPP binaries) with:
	make distclean
