ArchC package uses the GNU autotools framework to build the source files and install them into the host system.
./autogen.sh./configureOptional flags:
- --prefix=<install-dir> -> if you want install ArchC in any other directory. The default is /usr/local
- --with-systemc=<systemc-install-path> -> if you plan to generate 'acsim' tool
- --with-binutils=<binutils-src-path> -> if you plan to generate binary utilities (acasm)
- --with-gdb=<gdb-src-path> -> if you plan to generate debugger (gdb)
makemake install. env.shThe above command will set the ArchC Environment in the current terminal. Add it in ~/.bashrc to set the ArchC environment automatically

Remember that ArchC models and SystemC library must be compiled with the same GCC version, otherwise you will get compilation problems.
Several documents which further information can be found in the 'doc' subdirectory.
You can find language overview, models, and documentation at http://www.archc.org
Thanks for the interest. We hope you enjoy using ArchC!
