The RIB framework was developed and tested on GNU/Linux with GCC 4.3 on
x86 and x86_64 architectures.

Before compiling the framework itself, the optional dependencies (FFTW and PAPI,
their source is bundled in the repository) can be compiled and their support enabled.

- to compile fftw, execute build.sh in src/thirdparty/fftw
- to compile PAPI, execute build.sh in src/thirdparty/papi
  Note that PAPI requires kernel with a supported performance library (RIB was
  tested with perfctr). See INSTALL.txt in the papi directory for more
  information. If you need to build PAPI with e.g. external pfmon library,
  update the ./configure parameters in build.sh accordingly.
  
To enable these features in the RIB build, copy src/Makefile.local.example
to Makefile.local and uncomment the corresponding lines.

To compile, execute the following in the src subdirectory:
  make

There is currently no make install support, the binaries (rib and ribplot) are
created in the src/ directory.
