VELVET SOURCE March 28 2008 Daniel Zerbino

NOTE: The PDF manual in this directory contains all the information contained in this text file, plus much more!

SUMMARY * A/ REQUIREMENTS * B/ COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS * C/ WHERE IS THE MANUAL?

A/ REQUIREMENTS

Velvet should function on any standard 64bit Linux environment with

gcc. A good amount of physical memory (12GB to start with, more is no luxury) is recommended.

B/ COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS

Normally, with a GNU environment, just type:

make

For colorspace Velvet replace that command with

make color

Otherwise compile each *.c file separately, then execute the default instructions at the top of Makefile.

C/ WHERE IS THE MANUAL?

If you cannot find the PDF manual in the source directory (probably because you downloaded Velvet through git), you can simply compile it:

make doc
