instructions for creating the installation portion and submitting hw#5.

We discussed in class the usage of tar and gzip to create an "installation package" of a program. You need to do this for this last assignment.

So, here's the optimal solution.

1. If you haven't already, set up a directory structure for hw5 something like this:

~sklar/cs3157/hw5/ (or whatever)
  |
  +- bin/
  |
  +- data/
  |
  +- include/
  |
  +- javadoc/
  |
  +- lib/
  |
  +- src/
     |
     +- RCS/

2. Create your tar file and name it like this: hw5sklar.tar:
unix$ tar cvf hw5sklar.tar *

Obviously, replace my username (sklar) with your own.

3. Zip up the tar file:
unix$ gzip hw5sklar.tar

4. Finally, create a submission directory and put the tarred, gzipped file in that directory. Then run the submit script from there:

unix$ mkdir submission
unix$ mv hw5sklar.tar.gz submission
unix$ cd submission
unix$ ~cs3157/bin/submit 5
Submitting:
./hw5sklar.tar.gz
