General remarks

• SLIP is a generic programming library. That is to say, you just have to configure your compiler so that it can access to the directory where the slip .hpp files are stored. Nevertheless CMake build system is provided to check depencies installation, compile test and example programs
• We have noticed that some troubles with a few ImageMagick versions. In this cases, you should try to install a new version of ImageMagick. Here are the encountered troubles:
  • lack of memory reading/writing image
  • ImageMagick message "unable to initialize module loader 'No such file or directory'"

  2. Open a terminal
  3. Decompress it: tar xzvf slip-full-x.y.z.tar.gz or tar xjvf slip-full-x.y.z.tar.bz2
  4. cd slip-x.y.z
  5. mkdir build
  6. cmake ..
  7. make
  8. make doc
  9. sudo make install (or make install in root user)
