based build system (an alternative to the traditional makeall script |

Please make sure that you have dowloaded and unpacked BOTH the Radiance |

source package AND the archive with the auxiliary files. Crucial parts |

of the system will be missing if you only have one of them. |

SCons *may* use a libtiff already installed on your system. However, if |

it doesn't find one, it will build its own from sources included with |

Radiance. |

specific combination of operating system and build tools (eg. compiler). |

On unix based systems, the compiler usually doesn't make much of a |

|
difference, but on Windows, there are seperate build environments for |

toolkits like Cygwin or MingW. |

$> scons install |

|
To save disk space on your system, or in preparation of a fresh build |
| 149 |
|
with different settings, you can clean up the source tree by invoking |
| 150 |
|
|
| 151 |
< |
%> scons -c |
| 151 |
> |
$> scons -c |
| 152 |
|
|
| 153 |
|
This will delete all the generated object files, libraries, and |
| 154 |
|
executables in and below the "ray/src/" subdirectory. |
