1 FFTW is a free collection of fast C routines for computing the
2 Discrete Fourier Transform in one or more dimensions. It includes
3 complex, real, symmetric, and parallel transforms, and can handle
4 arbitrary array sizes efficiently. FFTW is typically faster than
5 other publically-available FFT implementations, and is even
6 competitive with vendor-tuned libraries. (See our web page
7 http://fftw.org/ for extensive benchmarks.) To achieve this
8 performance, FFTW uses novel code-generation and runtime
9 self-optimization techniques (along with many other tricks).

18 INSTALLATION
19 ------------
20
21 INSTALLATION FROM AN OFFICIAL RELEASE:
22
23 Please read chapter 10 "Installation and Customization" of the manual.
24 In short:
25
26 ./configure
27 make
28 make install
29
30 INSTALLATION FROM THE GIT REPOSITORY:
31
32 First, install these programs:
33
34 ocaml, ocamlbuild, autoconf, automake, indent, and libtool,
35
36 Then, execute
37
38 sh bootstrap.sh
39 make
40
41 The bootstrap.sh script runs configure directly, but if you need to
42 re-run configure, you must pass the --enable-maintainer-mode flag:
43
44 ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode [OTHER CONFIGURE FLAGS]
45
46 Alternatively, you can run
47
48 sh mkdist.sh
49
50 which will run the entire bootstrapping process and generate
51 .tar.gz files similar to those for official releases.

53 CONTACTS
54 --------

56 FFTW was written by Matteo Frigo and Steven G. Johnson. You can
57 contact them at fftw@fftw.org. The latest version of FFTW,
58 benchmarks, links, and other information can be found at the FFTW home
59 page (http://www.fftw.org). You can also sign up to the fftw-announce
60 Google group to receive (infrequent) updates and information about new
61 releases.
