Installation of "DALIB over EPX"

    Adaptor must be already installed.

    1) Edit file "./adp/src1/gmdhpfarguments.c", find "switch (target_machine)"
       text and place following line inside this switch:

           case PPC:  strcat (DALIB,"EPX");  break;

    2) Edit file "./adp/src1/include/gmdhpfglobal.h".
       Find these two defines and change to proper values:

           #define predefined_target_machine        PPC
           #define predefined_target_communication  NATIVE

    3) Go to "./adp/src1" and run "make" for rebuilding "gmdhpf" utility.

    4) Go to "./adp/dalib" and extract this package.
       If successful, "EPX" subdirectory with 5 files will be created:

         * Makefile
         * Readme      - this file
         * dalib_epx.h
         * init.m4
         * pt2pt.m4

    5) Go to "./adp/dalib/EPX" and run "make"

    If all traditional problems, such as proper setting
    of compiler/linker switches, are done, you can make the final step:

    6) Go to "./adp/hpf_examples/simple"
       Build test application: "gmdhpf -o pi1.px pi1.hpf"
       Run it: "px run -a east pi1.px" (partition name here is "east").
