General install notes

Install dependencies (on a clean ubuntu installation)

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool g++

Creating all auxiliary files

autoreconf -fvi

Building

./configure
make

or, if JAGS has been installed in a different location, e.g. /usr

./configure --prefix /usr
make

Install

sudo make install

Windows Compiling and Installation

Linux

For building the module in Windows it is easiest to use a tarball that was created in linux like this (starting from a source clone):

autoreconf -fvi
./configure
make dist-gzip

Copy the *.tar.gz file to your msys home directory and continue from there.

Windows

• Install MinGW (MinGW installer including msys): http://www.mingw.org In MinGW get installer: msys-base is all you need.

• Install TDM-GCC Compiler Suite: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net Use the exact same version of tdm-gcc as has been used to compile your JAGS Version on your system. In that case, also don't forget to untick the "Check for updated files on the TDM-GCC server" during the installation proccess of tdm-gcc. For Jags-3.3.0 and Jags-3.4.0 use: tdm64-gcc-4.6.1.exe

• Delete all *.dll.a files int the TDM-GCC Installation, so the compiler will link to the static libraries.

• Change path in c:/mingw/msys/1.0/etc/fstab from this: c:/mingw /mingw to: c:/MinGW64 /mingw to use TDM-GCC compilers

--> Start msys, extract tarball in your home dir, cd into dir and do the following:

• Note: the module needs the JAGS include files and the JAGS libraries. Therefore use the -L and -I options, as shown below.

• For building 32bit binaries

  CXX="g++ -m32" \
  ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/c/Progra~1/JAGS/JAGS-3.4.0/i386/bin" CXXFLAGS="-I/c/Progra~1/JAGS/JAGS-3.4.0/include"

  make win32

• For building 64bit binaries

CXX="g++ -m64" \
./configure LDFLAGS="-L/c/Progra~1/JAGS/JAGS-3.4.0/x64/bin" CXXFLAGS="-I/c/Progra~1/JAGS/JAGS-3.4.0/include"

make win64

• Copy the win/win32/bernoulli.* or win/win64/bernoulli.* files to your JAGS modules directory to enable the module. For JAGS-3.4.0 this usually is: x64: C:\Program Files\JAGS\JAGS-3.4.0\x64\modules x32: C:\Program Files\JAGS\JAGS-3.4.0\x32\modules

• Note: If you compile both 32bit and 64bit don't forget to make clean between the building.
