This File contains a set of hints for compiling STk and the things
which have been reported about installation of STk. This file is very
incomplete and I hope to be able to make it growing.
If you experience a new port or confirm/infirm/add informations which are
specified here please send a mail to 'eg@unice.fr' (there is a blank form
at the end of this file)
If you succeed in compiling STk on an architecture for which there is no
binary release, please read the file BINARY_DISTRIB
______________________________________________________________________________
SunOs 4.1.x
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-O2
X11:
R5 and R6
Dynamic loading:
I was not able to make a version using dynamic loading and the gnu
loader. If your version of gcc use gld, you'll have probably to use the
--disable-dynload option during configuration. (Note: I said probably
since a lot of things don't work on this system which has a gcc with
gld. Everything seems very poorly installed on this system)
No problem with gcc and Sun ld.
Who:
Erick Gallesio (eg@unice.fr)
Tested:
Yes :)
Remarks:
The main system used for developping STk
______________________________________________________________________________
SunOs 5.3
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-O2
X11:
OpenWindows
Dynamic loading:
Should work. At least it seems to be conform to documentation :->
Must be
Who:
Erick Gallesio (eg@unice.fr)
Tested:
just make widget-demo
Remarks:
Some people have reported that they use dynamic loading but I can
remember who (and it was on 2.1).
______________________________________________________________________________
Linux 1.0.9 -> 2.0.0
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-O2
X11:
XFree3.1.2
Dynamic loading:
Dynamic loading is supported for DLD and ELF. (however DLD hqs not
been tested since a long time, I'm not sure it continues to work).
The configure script try to figure what type of dynamic loading
works for you and enable dynamic loading by default. With recent
kernels, it will probably be ELF.
Who:
Erick Gallesio (eg@unice.fr)
Tested:
yes
Remarks:
The other system used for developping STk.
______________________________________________________________________________
DEC Alpha OSF1 V2.0
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
CC=cc Dont't use gcc 2.6 !!!!!!
CFLAGS=-O2
X11:
X11 R5
Dynamic loading:
Erik Ostrom <eostrom@radon.ccs.neu.edu> told me to use ld for
makeing the .so file. I quote him below:
"If SH_LOADER is "ld", you get a huge warning about all the
undefined symbols; but if it's "cc", ld just won't make the
.so file. I assume there's a way to get better results, but
this at least produced a working system."
Who:
Erick Gallesio (eg@unice.fr)
Tested:
Not a lot. Only the widget demo and some bignum tests.
No more core dump on undefined variable
Remarks:
Don't use gcc. STk worked with gcc prior 2.6. It doesn't work anymore
with this version of gcc. I have not investigated a lot with it but it seems
that gcc 2.6 is unable to compile the bignum stuff (it yields warning during
compilation whereas tthe code seems correct). Tests includes in the GMP
packages dont pass anymore. Consequently, all computation
which involve a bignum will be false (and could sometimes conduct to a core
dump).
I don't use this system.

Compilation:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-O2
X11:
X11 R5
Dynamic loading:
Not supported
Who:
Erick Gallesio (eg@unice.fr)
Tested:
Widget demo work.
Remarks:
I don't use this sytem.

HP 9000/735 (HP-UX 9.01)
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
CC=cc
CFLAGS='-Ae -O'
X11:
????
Dynamic loading:
Dynamic loading is supported (support is due to Dipankar Gupta
<dg@hplb.hpl.hp.com>). This support has been sent to me as a patch
file over 2.1. It must be extended for newer versions (the only file
to modify is Src/dynload.c). Furthermore, options needed for
compilation dosen't seems clear for me. I have guessed some of them
but I may be wrong.
Who:
ottl@informatik.uni-muenchen.de
Tested:
Widget demo only (I think)
Remarks:
Other people have reported that STk work on HP. I don't know if they
have used it a lot. Every info is welcome.

Who:

Tested:

Remarks:
Use ptar (pax tar) to untar the distribution rather than standard tar. It
seems that the standard tar doesn't handle correctly symbolic links.

Who:
tiemann@cygnus.com
Tested:
compiled, ran all demos (stk and stklos)
Remarks:
______________________________________________________________________________
A new system (Mail this form to eg@unice.fr if you have made a new port)
______________________________________________________________________________
Compilation:
Indicate here the values of CC and CFLAGS you used
X11:
Indicate here the X11 version you used
Dynamic loading:
Indicate here if dynamic loading is supported and all info that seems
necessary for loading a file in a running interpreter.
Who:
your email or "Anonymous" if you don't want to bother yourself
with that anymore.
Tested:
How much you have tested STk (just compiled it, tested only the
demos, ...)
Remarks:
Everythink you think is relevant.
