Before you are able to compile YASA, you must install several packages

To compile YASA you need at least the following packages:

• QT
  commercial class library, free for non-commercial use usually delivered with KDE, Windows users can download a package at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/non-commercial Linux users should install the lastest version which can be found at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-free...
• cygwin
  This is an advanced unix environment for M$ Windows. This is absolutely required if you are under M$ Windows. Try www.cygwin.com
• make, gcc, bash, ls, cp
  should be installed with every UNIX/Linux System. Windows user must install the cygwin package!
• M$ Visual C++
  This is an advanced c++ compiler development kit from microsoft. YASA needs at least V6 of MVCC. It is needed only if you under M$ Windows. This compiler is not for free so you must pay a lot of money for it. YASA is pre-configured to use in conjunction with MVCC. So you are not engaged to use it. If you want to use another compiler such as gcc maybe it works.
To enhance the behaviour of YASA, you should install the following optional packages:
• Doxygen
  Doxygen generates the online documentation through parsing the source code of YASA. You can find Doxygen at http://www.doxygen.org or http://sourceforge.net/projects/doxygen
• Graphwiz
  Graphwiz is used by Doxygen to generate class diagrams and dependencies. There are Windows and Linux binaries available. http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz

The installation of YASA is very easy. There are two different ways to compile YASA regarding your operating system.

Linux

• Install the required packages!
• You have to unpack the full package in your destination directory. Enter: gzip yasa-vx.xx.tgz | tar -xvf -
• Now there should the a directory created with a name similar to yasa-vx.xx. Change to that directory and start the compilation process cd yasa-vx.xx make
• If the compilation has finished successfully you can start YASA using the command: ./yg
Attention: Currently there is no install version so the current directory is the final directory. You may move it to /opt/yasa or anything else. Do not forget to enter /opt/yasa to your search path using: export PATH:$PATH:/opt/yasa or make a symbolic link from /usr/bin to YASA. Usually you must be root to do that. ln -s /opt/yasa/yg /usr/bin

Windows

• Open the M$ project file yasa.dsw and recompile the whole package. That's it!
