Dhany, I’m glad that you are interested in using LITMUS^RT for your thesis research, but the questions that you are now asking pertain to issues that are not LITMUS^RT specific and not appropriate for this mailing list. Some experience working with moderately complex C code bases and Linux is required to make use of LITMUS^RT.

To answer your questions:

1) You may organize your code any way you like. The two dummy skeletons exist to make starting up easier, but their use is entirely optional.

2) Like most C libraries, liblitmus comes with a makefile. Of course a working gcc toolchain is required.

3) I suggest you first learn how to build regular C programs on Linux, and how to use make. Once you know how to do that LITMUS^RT is fairly straightforward to use.

Best regards,
Björn
