2.1 Introduction

To use the Omega Library in an existing C++ application, it is necessary to:

• Use the makefile included in the release to make libomega.a if it doesn't already exists.
• Include -lomega as an option to the linker.
• Include -Ldir as an option to the linker, where dir is a directory that contains libomega.a .
• Add the line #include "omega.h" to each application source file that references Omega library data structures or functions.
• If the include file omega.h and the associated omega subdirectory have not been placed in a standard include directory on your system, use -Idir/include as an option to the compiler, where dir is a directory that contains the include directory from this release.
• Make any modifications that are needed to get the Omega Library and your code to compile with compatible compilers (see Section 2.3).
