Instructions for installing Splint using the linux binary installation:
Download http://www.splint.org/downloads/binaries/splint-3.1.1.Linux.tgz
tar -xzf splint-3.1.1.Linux.tgz
This will create a splint-3.1.1 directory, containing several subdirectories. The file splint-3.1.1/bin/splint is the Splint binary.
3. To install Splint binaries and libraries in a different directory (optional):
./configure --prefix=directory
make install
GNU's make utility is required; it may be named gmake or gnumake on your system.
Set environment variables:
LARCH_PATH - path to search for splint libraries and initializations files. If you are using the standard directories, this should be ".:base-directory/splint-3.1.1/lib".
LCLIMPORTDIR - directory containing lcl imports files. If you are using the standard directories, this is base-directory/splint-3.1.1/imports.
If you followed step 3 above set LARCH_PATH to directory/share/splint/lib and LCLIMPORTDIR to directory/share/splint/import instead.
Put the commands to set these variables (the actual commands will depend on the shell you are using) in one of your initialization dotfiles (usually ~/.environment).
Set up your command path to include the directory containing splint-3.1.1/bin/splint, or move the binary to a directory in your command path.
