In this file I use <LEP> to denote the path name where you have
extracted the LEP packet. Default is the directory <LEDA>/LEPS right
below the LEDA main directory. If you have extracted the avd
package in that directory the directory <LEP>/avd should contain
the following files and subdirectories:

README                    information about the LEP
INSTALL                   this file
CHANGES  (please read !)  most recent changes
FIXES                     bug fixes since last release
Makefile                  make script
Make.comp	          make configuration settings
lconfig                   configuration command
doc/                      user manual
incl/                     include directory
src/                      source files
prog/                     test programs
demo/                     demo programs


1. CONFIGURATION
----------------

   a)  Go to the directory <LEP>/avd

   b)  Type: lconfig <cc>  [LEDAROOT]

       where <cc> is the name (or command) of your C++ compiler
       and the optional second parameter defines the path where
       the needed LEDA package is installed 

       Examples: lconfig g++ /LEDA/solaris/g++

   c)  Adapt the settings of LEDAROOT and LEDALIB in the file
       Make.comp if they are not fitting you LEDA installation; 
       this is necessary if the LEP is not installed in the LEPS 
       subdirectory of the LEDA root directory or if the LEDA 
       libraries are not held in the LEDA root directory


2. COMPILING
-------------

   Now just type "make"

   to create the two example program adaptation of the avd framework
   in the demo directory. The avd framework itself is template code
   taken from <LEP>/incl


3. INSTALLATION 
----------------

a) Header Files
  
   All LEDA header files are contained in "<LEDA>/incl/LEDA".
   All LEP header files are contained in "<LEP>/avd/incl"

   You can also copy the include files into one of the global
   include directories, e.g.:

   AT&T CC:  cp -r <LEP>/avd/incl /usr/include/CC

   GNU g++:  cp -r <LEP>/avd/incl /usr/local/lib/g++-include     

   Or you can use the -I flag of the compiler as described below:

   CC (g++) -I<LEDA>/incl -I<LEP>/avd/incl \
            -L<LEDA> ...

   If you have access to the LEDA installation tree and you extracted
   the LEP avd inside the directory <LEDA>/LEPS you can copy
   the header files to the default include path 

   <LEDA>/incl/LEP/avd

   by the command

     make install

   After this you can compile programs which use LEDA and the LEP
   by the simpler command:

   CC (g++) -I<LEDA>/incl -L<LEDA> ...



5. USER MANUAL
--------------

   You can grab the user manual and the implementation documents from
   the www server where you obtained this package

   http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/LEDA/www/leps/avd.html

   The short manual is also contained in the doc directory.
