Node: install, Next: , Up: gen-ovm Tutorial



Compiling and installing the Ovm distribution

Choose a directory (OVM-BIN-DIR) under which the built runtime files should be stored. OVM-BIN-DIR can be OVM-DIR if you like.

     $ cd OVM-BIN-DIR
     $ OVM-DIR/configure && make
     
You can also install the runtime files by specifying the install target to make. By default this will install gen-ovm and the runtime files in /usr/local/ovm. To change the install location use the --prefix option when running configure, eg:
     $ cd OVM-BIN_DIR
     $ OVM-DIR/configure --prefix=$HOME && make all install
     
will install gen-ovm into $HOME/bin.

The value of --prefix is the OVM-INSTALL-DIR.
