I have just discovered that the two top level installation scripts
somehow had their names swapped - working in too much of a rush.
INSTALL_EVERYTHING_WITHOUT_MOTIF
installed with motif
INSTALL_EVERYTHING_WITH_MOTIF
installed without motif
I have just rebuild the tar faile with fixed versions tested the
WITH file on a machine running redhat 9 with libXm.so.3
There are now three levels of packaging.
The minimal version
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/new/linux-pc-1553c.tar.gz
10057938 bytes
Now includes an INSTALL/ directory with two scripts
LINK_MOTIF_POPLOG
LINK_NOMOTIF_POPLOG
They will do what they say, starting from a minimal executable
(corepop) included in the package. Everything gets linked from
scratch. This seems to work on several different versions of linux.
The next level up includes the above file and the basic bham
extensions (bham.tar.gz) the primer, emacs.tar.gz a few other things
and scripts to link and install.
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/new/linux-poplog.tar.gz
12943280 bytes
The third level
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/bham-linux-poplog.tar.gz
21164311 bytes
includes the above and a lot of extra packages, including the
SimAgent toolkit (newkit.tar.gz) David Young's popvision library,
and others. This is what we put on a CD for our students.
There's still rationalisation to be done, and I also plan to move
some things from the bham.tar.gz file into the core system
(e.g. some rationalisation of Ved keybindings, useful startup
scripts so that users don't have to edit their .login or .bashrc
files, etc.)
