GridFlow 0.4.0 - installation

Requirements

i). jMax 2.5 (should work under jMax 2.4.12)
ii). an X11 Display Server

note: you will need to have a version of jMax running, for help on installing and compiling jMax, please see Christian Klippel's extensive help file at http://www.mamalala.de as well as the jMax docs.

Installation process (for jMax 2.5)

1. Untar the archive with tar -xvtf gridflow_current_version.tgz in your packages directory. This will create the gridflow directory and place all the files within.

2. Run ./configure --jmax25 from the gridflow directory. That should take care of adjusting the Makefiles to your current version and point to the right header for fts.

Files changed by configure:
gridflow/Makefile
gridflow/c/Makefile
gridflow/c/src/Makefile
gridflow/c/src/config.h
gridflow/c/src/Sources
gridflow/config.make

3. From the packages/gridflow directory, do this:

• make all ARCH=i686-linux
• make install ARCH=i686-linux

Where you replace i686-linux by your architecture name (e.g. ppc-macosx).

4. Get the images for the examples from artengine.ca or hostname.2y.net Place the archive in /usr/local/jmax/packages/gridflow (or the path of your choice) and untar with tar -xvzf gridflow-images-0.4.tar.gz.

5. Add package require gridflow within the when start section of ~/.jmaxrc

6. Add this line to your ~/.jmaxrc file:
dataDirectory /usr/local/jmax/packages/gridflow/images (or any path to the directory where you will place the images).

7. Restart jMax.

Installation process (for jMax 2.4)

1. Untar the archive with tar -xvtf gridflow_current_version.tgz in your 'packages' directory. This will create the gridflow directory and place all the files within.

2. Run './configure --jmax24' from the gridflow directory. That should take care of adjusting the Makefiles to your current version and point to the right header for fts.

Files changed by configure:
gridflow/Makefile
gridflow/c/Makefile
gridflow/c/src/Makefile
gridflow/c/src/config.h
gridflow/c/src/Sources
gridflow/config.make

3. In file packages/Makefile change the C_PACKAGES list to include gridflow (remove the old video directory if you upgrade).

4. From the toplevel directory (above packages), do this:

• make all ARCH=i686-linux
• make install ARCH=i686-linux

Where you replace i686-linux by your architecture name (e.g. ppc-macosx).

5. Get the images for the examples from artengine.ca or hostname.2y.net. Place the archive in /usr/local/jmax/packages/gridflow (or the path of your choice) and untar with tar -xvzf gridflow-images-0.4.tar.gz.

6. Add package require gridflow within the when start section of ~/.jmaxrc

7. Add this line to your ~/.jmaxrc file:
dataDirectory /usr/local/jmax/packages/gridflow/images (or any path to the directory where you will place the images).

8. Restart jMax.
