YNFFT is a Yorick plugin for NFFT (nonequispaced fast Fourier transform).

Installation
============

1. Make sure you have installed the NFFT library from
   <http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~potts/nfft/>, the FFTW library from
   <http://www.fftw.org/> and Yorick from <http://yorick.github.com/>.

2. Unpack the plug-in code somewhere.

3. Configure for compilation.  There are two possibilities:

   a/ For an "in-place" build, go to the source directory of the plug-in
      code (where this README file is located) and run the configuration
      script:

         cd SRC_DIR
         ./configure --cflags=... --deplibs=...

      For instance:

          ./configure --cflags='-I/usr/local/include' --deplibs='-L/usr/local/lib -lnfft3 -lfftw3'

      or, to use OpenMP:

          ./configure --cflags='-I/usr/local/include -fopenmp -Ofast -march=native -mfpmath=sse -pedantic -pipe -std=c99' --deplibs='-L/usr/local/lib -lnfft3 -lnfft3_threads -lfftw3_threads -lfftw3'

      To see the configuration options, call:

           ./configure --help


   b/ To compile in a different build directory, say $BUILD_DIR, create the
      build directory, go to the build directory, and run the configuration
      script:

          mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR
          cd $BUILD_DIR
          $SRC_DIR/configure --cflags=... --deplibs=...

      where $SRC_DIR is the path to the source directory of the plug-in
      code. To see the configuration options, call:

          $SRC_DIR/configure --help


4. Compile the code:

       make


5. Optionally, check the plugin:

       make tests

   You may have to set some environment variable for the dynamic loader
   (LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux) if the NFFT library is installed in a
   non-standard location, e.g.:

       LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib make tests


4. Finally, install the plug-in in Yorick directories:

       make install



Alternative installation method
===============================

Replace step No. 3 of the installation procedure (see above) by:

3.1. Edit the file "Makefile" and check the values of the variables
     PKG_DEPLIBS, PKG_CFLAGS and PKG_LDFLAGS; for instance, assuming PREFIX
     is a variable with the top directory where FFTW and NFFT libraries are
     installed:

         PKG_DEPLIBS=-L$(PREFIX)/lib -lnfft3 -lfftw3
         PKG_CFLAGS=-I$(PREFIX)/include
         PKG_LDFLAGS=

3.2. Update the paths in the file "Makefile" for compilation by executing
     the following command:

         yorick -batch make.i

      where "yorick" can be replaced by the full path to your Yorick
      interpreter if not installed in a standard location.
