Setup and installation of Icarus Verilog
========================================

In most recent linux distributions, a recent version of Icarus Verilog is generally available through the package system.
The C++ library boost-interprocess, which is contained in the libboost-dev package in debian-like distributions, has to be installed too. boost-interprocess is required to generate the shared memory communication interface.
