64\page bs_page Singular Build System
65
66\brief Short introduction to the Singular build system
67
68We use autotools.
69Here is a good autotools (mythbuster) manual:
70<https://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster/>
71Singular consists of several packages,
72which are (mostly standalone) libraries with their own configuration scripts:
73
74- \ref omalloc_page
75- \ref resources_page
76- \ref factory_page
77- \ref libpolys_page
78- \ref singular_page
79
80Moreover some of the top-level libraries combine smaller ones into
81itself:
82- \ref libpolys_page
83  - \ref libpolys_misc_page
84  - \ref libpolys_reporter_page
85  - \ref libpolys_coeffs_page
86  - \ref libpolys_polys_page
87- \ref singular_page
88  - \ref kernel_page
89  - \ref dynmodules_page
90
91
92One can easily exted any existing library by adding new sources to the
93corresponding _SOURCE specification (and headers to _HEADER).
94Sources or headers may be generated by the builds system
95(automatically by cofigure scripts, manually in compile time by
96targets in makefiles) but have to be treated specially.
97
98Short HOWTO:
99- \subpage adding_kernel_package "Adding a sub-package to /kernel/"
100
101
102New sub-libraries may be added to the existing directories (to the
103corresponding Makefile.am's) or to their own (new) directory
104with a new Makefile.am, which has to be treated by the corresponding
105configure script. If that new directory has to be treated by
106recursive make  - it has to be listed in in a SUBDIRS section
107by some higher-level Makefile.am (which is treated)
108
109
110It is strongly recommended to add separate unit-tests (TESTS) for any
111package or library.
112
113Please test the build system with `make distcheck` before submitting
114in case of a build system chenges.
