=================================
VDK 2.0 INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS
=================================
please report any comment or bug to:
mmotta@users.sourceforge.net
=====================
PREPARING THE PACKAGE
=====================
If you haven't yet untarred the file, do
$ tar xvzf vdk-2.0.x.tar.gz
$ cd vdk-2.0.x/
=======================
CONFIGURING THE PACKAGE
=======================
$ ./configure
Configure will accept several options
(to see all of them do ./configure --help)
Here the most used:
--prefix=[DIR] where to install it [default=/usr/local]
*** Note ***
For RedHat,mandrake and Redhat-like distributions i suggest to
use --prefix=/usr to make things simpler.
*** Note for users that upgrade from VDK 1.2.x ***
VDK 1.2.x and VDK-2.0.x can cohabitate provided that are installed on
different prefixes, we suggest to mantaing 1.2.x series on /usr and
/usr/local for VDK 2.0.x
--enable-debug=[no/minimum/yes] it enable the debug system [default=no]
no = it will compile with -s flag
minimum = with -s -DVDKDEBUG (defined in config.h)
yes = with -g -DVDKDEBUG
*** Note ***
We suggest to mantain default value, VDK libs with debug info are huge.
--enable-shared/static=[yes/no]
build shared/static library [default=yes]
*** Note ***
We suggest to use --enable-static=no mainly for two reasons:
1. VDK applications linked against a VDK static library remained untested
2. Recall that distributing VDK applications linked against VDK static lib
reduces LGPL license since you have to distribute your applications
at least under GPL license terms.
--enable-opt=[OPTIMIZATION/no]
build with -O$(OPTIMIZATION) compiler lever [default=2]
it can be disabled with no
--enable-testvdk=[yes/no]
build or not testvdk program [default=yes]
--enable-sigc=[yes/no]
build or not vdk signal system extension [default=no]
This options requires libsigc++-0.8.5 or greater
already installed.
You can download above library at:
http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/stable.html
--enable-testsigc=[yes/no]
build or vdk signal system extension test program [default=no]
This options requires libsigc++-0.8.5 or greater
installed.
You can download above library at:
http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/stable.html
--enable-gnome=[yes/no]
build or not vdk gnome support library [default=no].
You need Gnome libs installed in order to have gnome
support. Running gnome is not required however.
--enable-doc-html=[yes/no] (default=yes)
--enable-doc-latex=[yes/no] (default=no)
--enable-doc-man=[yes/no] (default=no)
Enables doc building in html, latex or man format.
You need doxigen tool and Qt installed in order to
build docs.
You can download doxygen at:
http://www.doxygen.org/download.html
==================
MAKING THE PACKAGE
==================
When configure finish do
$ make
This will produce:
- core library libvdk.so.2.0.x and links
- a configure script vdk-config-2 to use when compiling your
vdk programs.
option depending:
- gnome support library libvdkgnome.so.2.0.x and links
- test program in ./testvdk/testvdk
- extended signal system test program in ./sigcvdktest/testsigcvdk
- classes references in ./doc/doxy/html/index.html
======================
INSTALLING THE PACKAGE
======================
To install just do
# make install
(you may need root privilege)
This will install:
- core and component libraries in $(prefix)/lib
- include headers in $(prefix)/include
- configure script vdk-config in $(prefix)/bin
======================
BUILDING DOCUMENTATION
======================
Do:
$ make docs
This will produce a ./vdk-2.0.x/doc/doxy/html dir
plenty of html and gif files.
Just run:
$ netscape ./vdk-2.0.x/doc/doxy/html/index.html&
or open ./vdk-2.0.x/doc/doxy/html/index.html
in your preferred browser to read VDK class reference.
To make a postscript printable version you need to
./configure with ..enable-doc-latex=yes and
$ cd ./vdk-2.0.x/doc/doxy/latex
$ make ps
this will produce a refman.ps
**************************************************
* Note for Red Hat users (and most likely others)*
**************************************************
If you have used the default prefix for installation
- check if /etc/ld.so.conf contains this line:
/usr/local/lib
(if not add it to the file)
- check if your PATH points to /usr/local/bin
otherwise update your bash rc.
Run: # /sbin/ldconfig
after have modified /etc/ld.so.conf
=========
CLEANING
=========
$ make clean
This will remove all obj's and libs from source tree
$ make distclean
This will remove all file created by configure
(You will need autoconf/automake to rebuild all the package)
Enjoy.
