$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install binutils

$ sudo apt-get install uuid-dev

$ git clone --depth=1 --recursive https://github.com/vortexgpgpu/vortex.git
$ cd Vortex

# By default, the toolchain default install location is the /opt folder and can be overridden by setting --tooldir.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --xlen=32 --tooldir=$HOME/tools

$ ./ci/toolchain_install.sh --all

# should always run before using the toolchain!
$ source ./ci/toolchain_env.sh

$ make -s

$ ./ci/blackbox.sh --cores=2 --app=vecadd

• Installing Vortex kernel and runtime libraries to use with external tools requires passing --prefix= to the configure script.

  $ ../configure --xlen=32 --tooldir=$HOME/tools --prefix=<install-path>
  $ make -s
  $ make install

• Building Vortex 64-bit simply requires using --xlen=64 configure option.

  $ ../configure --xlen=32 --tooldir=$HOME/tools

• Sourcing "./ci/toolchain_env.sh" is required everytime you start a new terminal. we recommend adding "source /ci/toolchain_env.sh" to your ~/.bashrc file to automate the process at login.

  $ echo "source <build-path>/ci/toolchain_env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

• Making changes to Makefiles in your source tree or adding new folders will require executing the "configure" script again to get it propagated into your build folder.

  $ ../configure

• To debug the GPU, you can generate a "run.log" trace. see /docs/debugging.md for more information.

  $ ./ci/blackbox.sh --app=demo --debug=3
