2.1.4 Creating Object Code

After you have set the LIBPA environment variables, run make install from `libpa-1.3.0/src' to install the libraries, and then run make tests from `libpa-1.3.0/src' in order to verify our implementations in your operating environment. When you are satisfied in the outcome of these tests, run make clean in the same directory to delete extraneous object code files and archives in the source directories. You must run make clean if you want to install LIBPA on multiple architectures.

As explained below, we provide safe and unsafe versions of all object code. The safe versions contain unoptimized object code with symbol tables for debugging purposes. The unsafe versions contain optimized object code without symbol tables. We recommend using safe object code on a routine basis, and only using unsafe object code when performance matters. The `libpa.a' and `libpa_u.a' archives contain the safe and unsafe versions of all object code, respectively.
