README file for nauty 2.8 Brendan McKay, bdm@cs.anu.edu.au Adolfo Piperno, piperno@di.uniroma1.it ------------------------------------------------------------ The most recent distribution of nauty and Traces can be found at http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/nauty and http://pallini.di.uniroma1.it . The manual nug28.pdf is available at that site and is also included in the distribution package. Note that nauty and Traces are copyright but free to use for most purposes. The details are in the file COPYRIGHT. ------------------------------------------------------------ INSTALLATION. See the manual for more information. If you have a working shell, and "make", you can run ./configure followed by make to compile nauty and Traces for your system. If that succeeds without problem, you will have the program dreadnaut ready to run. There are some options that can be specified at the ./configure step; see the manual. If you don't have a shell or make, manually edit the files nauty.h, naututil.h and gtools.h as distributed. The parts between the lines ======= near the start are the main things to look at. After this manual editing, you can use makefile.basic as a guide to compilation. Programs which use an older version of nauty need to be recompiled (** not just relinked **). Make sure they define the options structure using one of DEFAULTOPTIONS_GRAPH DEFAULTOPTIONS_SPARSEGRAPH DEFAULTOPTIONS_DIGRAPH DEFAULTOPTIONS_SPARSEDIGRAPH DEFAULTOPTIONS_TRACES ------------------------------------------------------------ TESTING. After compiling nauty successfully, it is recommended that you run the included test programs. The simplest way is make checks ------------------------------------------------------------ MAILING LIST. There is a mailing list for announcements and discussion about nauty and related topics. You can subscribe at http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/nauty ------------------------------------------------------------ OTHER FILES IN THE PACKAGE. Also in the package (documentation at the start of each source file). sumlines.c - This is a program designed to digest the outputs from multiple runs of a program (such as a computation split into multiple parts). Lines matching given patterns can be counted and checked, and numbers appearing in them can be accumulated. Instructions appear in the source file. See the option GMP near the head of the program before trying to compile. sorttemplates.c - Some carefully tuned generic quicksort procedures. ------------------------------------------------------------ Windows. For running nauty in Windows, Cygwin is recommended. If configure gives an error message similar to this: can not guess host type: you must specify one then try ./configure --build=unknown ------------------------------------------------------------ Making 32-bit executables on 64-bit Linux systems. (In bash or sh:) ./configure CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 make clean; make This requires 32-bit libraries to be available. On Ubuntu they are called ia32-libs and libc6-dev-i386. ------------------------------------------------------------ RECENT CHANGES. See the file changes24-28.txt for a list. See the file README_24 for a list of older changes.
