BUILDING:
There's no ./configure because autoconf is hard. :-(
Instead, Makefile includes makeopts/uname.pre early on to set variables. See the Darwin and Linux examples.
So, if you're lucky, all you have to do is: make
There is no make install because this is a tool for an experimenter. The binaries just live here where they're compiled.
If you want to leave makeopts/* alone, create a file localvars.make which gets included after that and before anything else. A good place to put your own settings.
makeopts/Darwin.pre Defaults to compiling for ppc (32 bit) and x86_64. For development it's probably better to pick just your architecture and enable the -MMD flag which emits good dependency information that gnumake can use.
RUNNING:
Make a directory, which I traditionally call "data", to hold the Census data. ./setupstatedata.py ga
The 'runallstates.py' script can be used to repeatedly run one or more states. ./runallstates.py --port=8080 ga
The --port argument is optional, but runs a handy HTTP server on that port (e.g. http://localhost:8080/ ) which nicely displays status and results.
Lots of other options are available on both ./setupstatedata.py and ./runallstates.py and there is --help available for them.
