Abstract

This document contains instructions on how to build the Starlink `classic' software from source. It contains a few platform-specific notes, and a comparison with the old 'mk-based' build system. This document is deliberately terse, since we have invested effort in making the processes involved as easy as possible.

This is at present a draft document, and so you should expect it to change relatively frequently. For change details, see the CVS change log at <http://cvsweb.starlink.ac.uk/cvsweb.cgi/docs/sun/248/sun248.xml>.
