= Installing ASAP and dependencies from source =

Note: '''For asap-2.2.3 you will need scons-1.2 or later '''

 * You need '''scons, flex, bison, g++, g77/gfortran, cfitsio, boost, python''' to build ASAP. These should be available as system packages (e.g. rpm, deb etc.). You will also need the corresponding development packages (e.g. xyz-dev.deb or xyz-devel.rpm)
 * You will also need '''ipython, matplotlib, numpy''' to run ASAP

=== Install scons-1.2 ===

{{{
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-1.2.0-1.noarch.rpm
su
rpm -i scons-1.2.0-1.noarch.rpm
exit
}}}


=== Install rpfits ===
{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/rpfits/rpfits.tar.gz
tar zxf rpfits.tar.gz
cd rpfits/linux
# edit GNUMakefile to use gfortran
perl -pi.bak -e 's/^FC.*$//; s/^FFLAGS.*$//; s/# (FC.*)$/\1/;s/# (FFLAGS.*)$/\1/;s/(LDFLAGS\s+:=).*$/\1 -lgfortran/' GNUmakefile
su
make install
exit
cd -
}}}

=== Install wcslib ===
{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib/wcslib.tar.gz
tar zxf wcslib.tar.gz
cd wcslib-4.3.2
./configure
make
su
make install
# want to link statically, so remove shred library
rm -f /usr/local/lib/libwcs.so*
exit
cd -
}}}


=== Install casacore ===

{{{
wget http://casacore.googlecode.com/files/casacore-0.4.1.tar.bz2
tar jxf casacore-0.4.1.tar.bz2
cd casacore-0.4.1
./batchbuild.py blaslibdir=/usr/lib/atlas cfitsioincdir=/usr/include/cfitsio
su
./batchbuild.py install prefix=/usr/local
exit
cd -
}}}

=== Install asap ===

{{{
wget ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/current/asap2.3.0-src.tar.bz2
tar zxf asap2.3.0-src.tar.bz2
cd asap2.3.0
scons lapacklibdir=/usr/lib/atlas cfitsioincdir=/usr/include/cfitsio
su
scons lapacklibdir=/usr/lib/atlas cfitsioincdir=/usr/include/cfitsio install
exit
}}}

To help out other users please also create a binary package and replace the version fc9 in the following with your version:
{{{
scons makedist=fc9 lapacklibdir=/usr/lib/atlas cfitsioincdir=/usr/include/cfitsio
}}}
Then send a notification to mailto:malte.marquarding@csiro.au so I can add it to the ftp area.


  Now it's probably best to get the asap data repository.
{{{
   export ASAPDATA=.
   ./bin/asap_update_data
   unset ASAPDATA
}}}

  Install it to the default location:
{{{
   su
   scons install
}}}

 * ASAP Data
{{{
   su
   asap_update_data
}}}

Now you can test it by executing:
{{{
   asap
}}}

This will install the asap startup script in $PREFIX/bin and the python code on $ASAPPY/asap. To run you private version of asap you will need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to $ASAPPY/asap. To simplify your life it is recommended you edit $PREFIX/asap and add the lines (changed appropriately) near the beginning of the script:
{{{
  PYTHONPATH='/home/me/python'
  export PYTHONPATH
}}}

== Binary release ==

To make a binary release to help out others with the same operating system, replace 
<identifier> with something identifying your platform, e.g. '''fc5''' for fedora core 5, or '''fc5_x86_64''' for the 64bit version of fc5 and run the following
{{{
scons   makedist=<identifier>
}}}
Then email the resulting tarball in the dist subdirectory to mailto:Malte.Marquarding@csiro.au
