<p>These instructions explain how to compile VLFeat on your own. This
can be useful to customize or contribute to VLFeat, but it is
otherwise not necessary (<b>use the
<a href="%pathto:download;">binary package</a> instead</b>).</p>
<p>For <b>UNIX</b> based platforms (Mac OS X and Linux), the library
bundles a GNU makefile (<code>Makefile</code>). The makefile
tries to auto-detect the environment and automatically configure
itself. In most cases, typing <code>make</code> is all it is required
to compile everything. If this does not work, please edit the
makefile and make the necessary adjustment to the flags.</p>
<p>For <b>Windows</b>, the library bundles a NMake makefile
(<code>Makefile.mak</code>). In order to use it, you must open
Makefile.mak and adjust the values of configuration variables to match
your setup. Once you have done that, start the Visual Studio Command
Prompt and type <code>nmake /f Makefile.mak</code>.</p>
<p><b>Note: For Windows you can also just compile the mex files.</b> Start with
our binary distribution.</p>

<dl>
<dt>syntax error: '=' unexpected:</dt>
<dd><p>Use <code>nmake /f Makefile.mak</code>.
Without <code>/f</code>, nmake will default to the wrong
makefile.</p></dd>
<dt>'long' followed by 'long' is illegal:</dt>
<dd><p>This error is usually caused by
attempting to compile outside of the Visual Studio Command Prompt.</p></dd>
