CFITSIO Interface Library CFITSIO is a library of ANSI C routines for reading and writing FITS format data files. ... The CFITSIO library is built on Unix systems by typing: > ./configure [--prefix=/target/installation/path] > make (or 'make shared') > make install (this step is optional) at the operating system prompt. The configure command customizes the Makefile for the particular system, then the `make' command compiles the source files and builds the library. ...
