Installation of systemc and SCV on a Debian 3.2.46 wheezy.

1. In this site there many systemc and SCV examples. They all were tested on an old lenny machine with systemc 2.2.0. In this page I describe the installation of the latest systemc 2.3.0 and SCV on my new machine: Debian 3.2.46 wheezy 64 bits.


2. The installation of systemc is simple. There were no problems and one just need to follow the installation instructions.


3. The installation of SCV is a nightmare. First the configure fails in some of its compilation tests. In most cases headers have the suffix \.h where it should not be or some headers are simply missing. Some of the changes, done on the configure file, are described below:
   
   #include <string.h>
   #include <string>
   
   #include <stdlib.h>
   
   #include <strstream>
   #include <strstream.h>
   
   #include <iostream>
   #include <iostream.h>
   
   


4. The next bitter surprise was the scripts that were created for installation use. Their first line contains -h, which upsets my debian machine:
   
   #!/bin/sh -h
   
   So I edited all files under scripts and modified the main make file not to re do it.


5. Last I could not use the SCV include files, because they could be read only by root user.


6. Last but not least, I wanted to run an example. So I switched to the TLM directory examples:
   systemc-2.3.0/examples/tlm/at_1_phase/build-unix
   
   The doc says: make clean, make and make run are the commands, but one has to set some variables that are installation specific:
   
   
   1. export SYSTEMC_HOME=/home/pini/Home_1/pini/systemc-2.3.0
   2. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pini/Home_1/pini/systemc-2.3.0/lib-linux/
