<h2 class="chapter">10 Installation and Customization</h2>

<p><a name="index-installation-603"></a>
This chapter describes the installation and customization of FFTW, the
latest version of which may be downloaded from
<a href="http://www.fftw.org">the FFTW home page</a>.

   <p>In principle, FFTW should work on any system with an ANSI C compiler
(<code>gcc</code> is fine).  However, planner time is drastically reduced if
FFTW can exploit a hardware cycle counter; FFTW comes with cycle-counter
support for all modern general-purpose CPUs, but you may need to add a
couple of lines of code if your compiler is not yet supported
(see <a href="Cycle-Counters.html#Cycle-Counters">Cycle Counters</a>).  (On Unix, there will be a warning at the end
of the <code>configure</code> output if no cycle counter is found.)
<a name="index-cycle-counter-604"></a><a name="index-compiler-605"></a><a name="index-portability-606"></a>

   <p>Installation of FFTW is simplest if you have a Unix or a GNU system,
such as GNU/Linux, and we describe this case in the first section below,
including the use of special configuration options to e.g. install
different precisions or exploit optimizations for particular
architectures (e.g. SIMD).  Compilation on non-Unix systems is a more
manual process, but we outline the procedure in the second section.  It
is also likely that pre-compiled binaries will be available for popular
systems.

   <p>Finally, we describe how you can customize FFTW for particular needs by
generating <em>codelets</em> for fast transforms of sizes not supported
efficiently by the standard FFTW distribution.
