Installation

------------

Requirements:

- gcc 4.9.3

- python 2.7.10

The following are only required if making changes to the parser or compiling from github

- bison 3.3.2

- automake 1.16.1

GUI requirements:

- kivy 1.10.0

- pyinstaller 3.1.1 (for standalone check_cvc)

Should be able to install CVC after cloning the repo by:

1. autoreconf -vif

2. ./configure --disable-nls [--prefix=]

3. make

4. make install

If that doesn't work, try:

1. download tarball from release page https://github.com/d-m-bailey/cvc/releases.

2. extract

3. cd cvc-\

4. autoreconf -vif

5. ./configure --disable-nls [--prefix=]

6. make

7. make install

There have been problems compiling check_cvc on some Linux platfroms.

If GUI check_cvc does not compile, try

export SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID=

If that still doesn't work, the check_cvc.py file in src_py can also be run via IDLE on PCs.

Just transfer the \*.log and \*.error.gz files.
