The following packages are required in order to build pyBDSM:

Python
NumPy
WCSLIB
CFITSIO
port3 – this is part of pyBDSM now
minpack – this is part of pyBDSM now

The following packages are required in order to run pyBDSM:

SciPy
pyfits
fortran stuff (to make faster)
f2py

Check out source code from the LUS repository

svn co http://usg.lofar.org/svn/code/trunk lofarsoft

The components of the source code are organized as follows:

lofarsoft
`-- src
    `-- BDSM
        |-- doc             ..  Documentation directory
        |-- implement       ..  Source code compiled into library and executables
        |   |-- bdsm        ..  Original Fortran BDSM
        |   |-- minpack
        |   |-- port3
        |   `-- pybdsm      ..  C-based Boost.Python wrappers
        `-- scripts         ..  Python scripts

fortran and c stuff to be compiled into libraries are in implement/pybdsm
anaamika is in implement/bdsm
port3 etc are in implement

Run the bootstrap script in the build directory:
```
cd build
./bootstrap
```
Build pyBDSM:
```
make bdsm
```
This will also go through the list of required external packages and check whether they are installed; if this is not the case, the dependencies will be resolved before continuing with pyBDSM itself.
The following components (libraries and application programs) will be build:
- _py2fbdsm – Write pyBDSM output to fBDSM format
- _pytesselate – Fortran implementation of Tesselation
- _cbdsm – Main python module to be imported

Installation of pyBDSM
Upon completion of the build, the generated components will be installed into the following locations:

.                              .. $LOFARSOFT
|-- release
|   |-- bin                    .. $PATH

|               |-- image.py  
|               |

executables are in release/bin and other stuff are in release/lib, release/includes and release/lib/python (pythonpath)
