Compiling:
- In the Makefile, define a META_METHOD as one of HEADERS,
BIBOP or RADIX_TREE. All architectures support HEADERS. Only
32-bit architectures support BIBOP, and only 64-bit architectures
support RADIX_TREE.
- In the Makefile, define ASM as x86, ppc64 or ia64. These are the
only supported architectures at this time. Adding additional
architectures requires changing the defintions at the top of
streamflow.h, and implementing the correct atomic operations in
atomic.h and bitops.h.
gcc 3.3.4:
- Streamflow does not compile with gcc 3.3.4; it causes an internal
compiler error when full optimizations are turned on. It has been
successfuly compiled with gcc 4.0.2 and gcc 3.4.5.
Machine dependent files:
- atomic.h and bitops.h are taken from the Linux kernel source,
with minor modifications.
