This assumes you have the July 2001 release (version 0.6 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 (Mesa, FLTK) 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
% rpm -i Mesa-3.2-2.i686.rpm Mesa-devel-3.2-2.i686.rpm
You should have both installed. Some packages will use libMesaGL, others
libGL. The configure script (see below)
should take care of the two possible options.
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)
% locate libfltk.a
% locate Fl_Slider.h
% 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
Extract the tarball, and install the program from within the
src directory:
% tar zxf partiview-0.6.tar.gz
% cd partiview-0.5/src
% make clean (if you really must compile a new executable)
% ./configure (GNU autoconf toolset to ease installation)
% make depend (might need to make new local dependancies)
% make partiview (should not have to edit Makefile anymore)
partiview-0.5 is under CVS control, and occasionally we
will stamp out a new release when we deem it stable. Anonymous CVS may also
be offered, but this is not currently enabled. Currently the
CVS repository 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 :pserver:pteuben@akash.astro.umd.edu:/home/cvsroot
setenv CVSEDITOR emacs
setenv CVS_RSH ssh (not needed for pserver access though)
cvs login (only needed once, and only for pserver type access)
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 and/or resolve conflicts
cd partiview/src
./configure
emacs partibrains.c # edit some files
make all # compile the program
./partiview # test the program
emacs kira_parti.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, resolve conflicts
cvs commit # and commit your changes
cd ../..
cvs release partiview # if you want to release and remove this sandbox
