Installation goes in two steps :

I ) PREPARING meschach 1.2

• If meschach 1.2 is already installed, you only need to replace :

'LIBS' => ['-Lmeschach-1.2 -lmes','-lm'],

in Makefile.PL by

'LIBS' => ['-Lwhere_meschach_is -lmes','-lm'],

and copy "meschach.a" to "libmes.a" in the directory "where_meschach_is".

• Otherwise, you must cd to the Meschach/meschach-1.2 directory, and install meschach-1.2, with the commands :

1)

        sh configure
        make basic
        make clean

If all went ok, you may test your installation (optionnal) :

make torture

If something went wrong, the best is to see in meschach-1.2/READMEfor more detailed information about installaton.

Once the file meschach.a is made, copy it to libmes.a, so that it can be linked with by using -lmes (*).

2) cp meschach.a libmes.a

II) PREPARING Meschach

1)

         perl Makefile.PL
         make                 

for some timestamp reason, you must (*)

2)

         cd meschach-1.2
         ranlib libmes.a
         cd ..

       before being able to run 

3)

make test

which should say "ok" 28 times, and never "NOT ok".

The functionalities are described in Meschach.pod

4)

make install

Will allow you to use Meschach (see Meschach documentation).

NOTES :

(*) There should be a more elegant way of preparing meschach-1.2. The procedure should be simplified in the future. (It's time I mastered MakeMaker a little better).
