If you want to install Opal into a shared location accessible by all users of the system
(normally /usr/local), and you have root access, then you can use the default configure and install procedure [[#Install|Introduction]] described here.

If you want do not want to install Opal into a shared location, because you do not have root access or because you want to have
more than one version of Opal on the same host, then follow [[#Noinstall|this procedure]].

!!4. @@configure@@ and build

To build the release (optimised) version of Opal, use the following commands:

--> @@cd@@ ''installdir''@@/OPAL@@
--> @@./configure@@
--> @@make opt@@

To build the debug version (includes debugging symbols) of Opal, use the following commands:

[[#Install]]
!!3. Default build and install

By default, Opal will install into the /usr/local tree.
In order for other packages locate Opal, the directory /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig must be added to the search path for pkg-config. This is usually done by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
It is also necessary to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that programs can find the Opal libraries at link or run time.

For bash/sh

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

For tcsh/csh

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

Use the following command to build and install the release version (optimised) as a shared library

cd ''srcdir''
./configure
make
sudo make install

Use the following command to build and install the release version (optimised) as a static library

cd ''srcdir''
./configure --disable-shared
make
sudo make install

Use the following command to build and install the debug version (includes debugging symbols) as a shared library

cd ''srcdir''
./configure --enable-debug
make debug
sudo make install

Use the following command to build and install the debug version (includes debugging symbols) as a static library

cd ''srcdir''
./configure --enable-debug --disable-shared
make debug
sudo make install

Multiple versions can be built in the same directory tree and installed separately

[[#Noinstall]]
!!3. Build and use without install

Set the OPALDIR environment variable to point to ''srcdir'' as follows.
This allows other libraries that use PTLib to find the code without using pkg-config.
It is also necessary to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that programs can find the Opal libraries at link or run time.

For bash/sh

export OPALDIR=''srcdir''
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

For tcsh/csh

setenv OPALDIR ''srcdir''
seetnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

Once this is done, configure and build the appropriate version of the code using the same commands
as described in section 3 above, but omit the ''sudo make install''
