Compiling Standard DPMTA

Typing make system compiles the code for the specific platform. The top level Makefile contains definitions for a wide variety of platforms. Adding additional definitions for undeclared systems should not prove difficult. The current systems are listed in Table 1.

Table 1: DPMTA compilation targets

Target	Description
linux	RedHat Linux w/PVM (default)
linux-pvm	RedHat Linux w/PVM (default)
linux-mpi	RedHat Linux w/MPI (default)

After compilation completes, you should be left with several executables, a library, and an important include file in the source directory, as well as having been placed in the directories ./test and ./lib. Additionally, some executables may have been installed in $PVM_HOME/bin/arch for the PVM version of DPMTA.

libdpmta.a

is the library containing the master interface routines for the DPMTA application.

dpmta.h

is the header file containing type declarations and prototype specifications for the interface library routines.

dpmta_test

and other similarly named executables. are executable test programs that use the DPMTA library calls. These are provided as examples of how to correctly interface DPMTA to the application program.
