---------------------
Environment variables
---------------------

Before compilation you should set the following environment variables:

required: BINARY_C should point to the root directory of your binary_c installation

recommended: LD_LIBRARY_PATH should include $BINARY_C/src and whatever directories are required to run binary_c (e.g. locations of libgsl, libmemoize, librinterpolate, etc.)

recommended: LIBRARY_PATH should include whatever directories are required to build binary_c (e.g. locations of libgsl, libmemoize, librinterpolate, etc.)



---------------------
Build instructions
---------------------

To build the module, make sure you have built binary_c (with "make" in the binar_c root directory), its shared library (with "make libbinary_c.so" in the binary_c root directory), and set environment variables as described above, then run:

---
 make clean
 make
---

then to test the Python module

---
 python3 ./python_API_test.py
---


You will require whatever libraries with which binary_c was compiled, as well as the compiler with which Python was built (usually gcc, which is easily installed on most systems).
