Installing Bacon

These instructions are taken from the README file included with Bacon. Check there for the latest version.

To install:

First, download Bacon from this git repo:
git clone http://www.cs.uml.edu/~ntuck/bacon/bacon.git

Next, install the AMD OpenCL SDK and make sure the ATISTREAMSDKROOT is properly set in your ~/.bashrc file.

Then, type "make prereqs" in the base Bacon directory.

Type "make" to build the Bacon shared library.

Finally, add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file, with BACON_BASE set to point at the top level directory of your Bacon install:

export BACON_BASE="/path/to/bacon"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$BACON_BASE/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export PERL5LIB="$BACON_BASE/$PERL5LIB"
export PATH="$BACON_BASE/bin:$PATH"
