This assumes you have the October 2000 release (version 0.1 or later) of partiview, not the earlier "gview" release that was described in earlier versions of this document. We keep copies of some support files on our initial http://www.astro.umd.edu/nemo/amnh website. Note that this current development release is only documented for work under Linux, although we expect it to work for at least SGI and maybe Solaris too.
First make sure Mesa is installed, for redhat6.2
there are rpm files
available. Check if you have the following:
% rpm -qa | grep Mesa
Mesa-3.2-2
Mesa-devel-3.2-2
You should see both. Some packages will use libMesaGL, others
libGL. The configure script should take care of this.
Homepage: http://mesa3d.sourceforge.org
Redhat packages: (part of powertools i believe)
Also make sure fltk is installed. If you got my version, do this (as
root)
% cd <where-ever>/fltk-1.0.9
% make install
(you only need it if you want to recompile the program at some point, not if you just want to run it)
Homepage: http://www.fltk.org/
Redhat packages: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/nogin/RPM/fltk-devel.html
Now compile (if you really want to) the program, normally a (linux) executable
should be in the src directory already:
% tar zxf partiview-0.3.tar.gz
% cd partiview-0.3/src
% make clean (if you really must compile a new executable)
% ./configure (GNU autoconf toolset to ease installation)
% make partiview (might need to edit the Makefile)
Since version 0.3 partiview is under CVS control. Currently the machine is
akash.astro.umd.edu and you will need to setup your developers account with
Peter (teuben@astro.umd.edu). Here's a sample session with some commonly
used CVS commands:
setenv CVSROOT :ext:teuben@akash.astro.umd.edu:/data/cvsroot
setenv CVSEDITOR emacs
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
mkdir ~/cvsstuff
cd ~/cvsstuff
cvs checkout partiview # get a new local sandbox to work in, or
cvs -n -q update partiview # check if others had made any changes
cvs update partiview # if so, update your sandbox
cd partiview/src
./configure
emacs partibrains.c # some edit some files
make all # compile the program
./partipanel # test the program
emacs partipanel.cc # edit another file
make all # check if it still compiles
cvs -n -q update # check if anybody else made changes
cvs update # if so, update your sandbox again
cvs commit # and commit your changes
cd ../..
cvs release -d partiview # if you want to release and remove this sandbox
