It is possible to build SCIRun for multiple machine architectures and multiple sets of configure options using the same source code directory.

For instance, if the SCIRun source code directory resides on a shared volume then Linux, 32 bit and 64 bit Irix, and Mac OSX versions can be built as follows:

mkdir SCIRun/linux
mkdir SCIRun/irix32
mkdir SCIRun/irix64
mkdir SCIRun/osx
    

After logging onto the Linux machine:

cd SCIRun/linux
../src/configure options
make -j N
    

Then from the Irix machine(s):

cd SCIRun/irix32
../src/configure options
make -j N
cd SCIRun/irix64
../src/configure --enable-64bit options
make -j N
    

and the Mac OSX platform(s):

cd SCIRun/osx
../src/configure options
make -j N
    

It is possible to build SCIRun for different sets of configure options. For example, a debug version for Mac OSX can be built as follows:

mkdir SCIRun/osx-debug
cd SCIRun/osx-debug
../src/configure --enable-debug more-options      
make -j N
