The ISODE-8.0 upper layer OSI stack library and ASN.1 compiler pepsy required for OSIMIS compile with GNU gcc version 4.0.2 on linux. The archive isode-8.0.5.tar contains the original isode-8.0 source archive and 5 patch archives. You should extract the files from those archives, starting from isode-8.tar.gz and continuing with the 5 patches isode-8-patch?.tar.gz in the right order. There is information on making isode in isode-8.0/READ-ME. In short, the following steps need to be followed: % cd isode-8.0 % cp config/linux.h h/config.h % cp config/linux.make config/CONFIG.make % cp config/*.local support/ % ./make This will build libraries and programs. You should move libisode.a and pepsy/xpepsy in a directory from where they will be accessible and then clean the isode tree. Note also that the ASN.1 compiler pepsy program should be renamed pepsy (from xpepsy): % mv libisode.a .. % mv pepsy/xpepsy ../pepsy % ./make clean
