We use scons instead of make for building libraries and executables, so pleas install scons from www.scons.org In order to build the library, enter "scons". If you want to compile the example, change to "examples" and start scons from there. Compiling the tests works alike. If you want to build the Python module, you need: 1) boost-python from www.boost.org 2) python Please look at SConscript in pySVM/ and adopt paths before running scons in this directory. Feel free to ask us, if you have trouble installing. mail: schmitt@procoders.net
