Ledger is written in ANSI C++, and should compile on any platform. It Ledger is written in ANSI C++, and should compile on any unix platform.
depends on the GNU multiple precision arithmetic library (libgmp), and The easiest way to build and install ledger is to use the prepared
the Perl regular expression library (libpcre). It was developed using acprep script, that does a lot of the footwork:
GNU make and gcc 3.3, on a PowerBook running OS/X.
To build and install once you have these libraries on your system,
enter these commands:
@smallexample @smallexample
$ ./configure && make install # to install missing dependencies
./acprep dependencies
# building ledger
./acprep update
# to run the actual installation
make install
@end smallexample @end smallexample
Please read the contents of `config.log` if the configure step fails.
Also, see the `help` subcommand to `acprep`, which explains some of its
many options. It's pretty much the only command I run for configuring,
building and testing Ledger. You can run `make check` to confirm the
result, and `make install` to install.
