7============

9scons has several targets. It is recommended to execute them sequentially.
10The normal install procedure is as follows:
11 scons
12 # Do this if you haven't got a data directory already
13 export ASAPDATA=.
14 ./bin/asap_update_data
15 #
16 scons install

19Obtaining the data directory
20============================
21The data repository can be obtained separately after installing ASAP.
22Before you run asap for the first time simply run
23 asap_update_data
24This will install the data repository into the correct location.
25
26There are several ways to do this.
27a) If you already have the 'data' directory, copy it to the root directory and run the normal install procedure.
28 scons
29 scons install
30
31b) You can obtain the data repository from the ftp site.
32 Simply run
33 export ASAPDATA=.
34 ./bin/asap_update_data
35 This will retrieve and unpack the data directory.
36 After this run:
37 scons install
38
39Creating a binary distribution
40==============================
41
42after building using 'scons', you can create a compressed tarball of the binaries. This is done via the target 'makedist='. The argument should be an obvious identifier for the system you want to support, e.g. 'sarge' or 'fc5-x86_64'
43
44 scons makedist=sarge
45
46This will create an archive in the subdirectory 'dist' named 'asap-X.Y.Z-sarge.tar.bz2', where X,Y,Z are the version numbers e.g 2.1.0.
