POV-Ray 3.7 for UNIX/Linux - README file
For the generic source distribution for UNIX/Linux
===============================================================================
This is the README file for the generic UNIX/Linux distribution of the
POV-Ray 3.7 source code.
===================
Source code package
===================
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NOTE: If this file does not reside in the root directory of your POV-Ray |
| source package, you have received a platform-neutral package. In that case |
| make sure to run the following command before you proceed: |
| |
| cd unix/ ; ./prebuild.sh ; cd ../ |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This package contains the complete source code of POV-Ray for UNIX
as well as its accompanying HTML documentation and supporting files.
The package substructure is organized as follows:
source/ Platform-independent source code (POV-Ray core code).
unix/ UNIX-specific source code, including X Window and SVGA support.
config/ UNIX-specific configuration and installation scripts.
doc/ UNIX-specific and generic HTML documentation, POV-Ray license.
icons/ UNIX-specific color icons for the KDE window manager.
scripts/ UNIX-specific render scripts (portfolio, stills, animations).
include/ Standard POV-Ray include files.
ini/ Standard POV-Ray INI files.
scenes/ Standard POV-Ray sample scene files.
========================
Compiling and installing
========================
Basic and detailed instructions to compile and install the generic POV-Ray
source code on UNIX-based systems are given in the INSTALL file.
In a nutshell: the package installation is based on a configure script
which detects your environment automatically and adapts the compilation
and installation process accordingly. Simply run:
% ./configure COMPILED_BY="your name <email@address>" # configure the package
% make # build the program
% su # log as root
$ make install # install program + data
See the INSTALL file for more detailed information.
