LIBC is documented in the +source directory for the LIBC package, sys$libc. LIBC provides a C language +binding for the IRAF VOS, plus an implementation of the UNIX "stdio" library. + +To compile the CL, the libraries comprising the IRAF VOS must first be compiled +and installed in lib$. In addition the CL uses LIBC and two graphics +libraries, libstg.a (the STDGRAPH graphics kernel) and libcur.a (cursor mode, +for cursor type CL queries). A number of global include files are also +required and will be found in host$hlib/libc. The file <iraf.h> must be +installed in a public directory where it can be found by the C compiler on your +system. + +Given these libraries the CL may be compiled and linked simply by typing +"mkpkg" in this directory. Typing "mkpkg update" will make the CL and +"install" the executable in the iraf$bin directory. |
