We have attempted to make it easy for you (and for us) to install |
| 31 |
|
the software on differently configured systems using a global make |
| 32 |
|
script. To install the software, just type: |
| 33 |
|
|
| 34 |
< |
makeall install |
| 34 |
> |
./makeall install |
| 35 |
|
|
| 36 |
|
You can clean up the .o files and so forth with: |
| 37 |
|
|
| 38 |
< |
makeall clean |
| 38 |
> |
./makeall clean |
| 39 |
|
|
| 40 |
|
Or, if you are confident you can do both at the same time with: |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
< |
makeall install clean |
| 42 |
> |
./makeall install clean |
| 43 |
|
|
| 44 |
|
You can give other make options at the end of the command as well. For |
| 45 |
|
example, the -n option will tell you what makeall is going to do without |
| 48 |
|
If you downloaded the binaries, so compilation is not necessary, |
| 49 |
|
run the following command to install the library files only: |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
< |
makeall library |
| 51 |
> |
./makeall library |
| 52 |
|
|
| 53 |
|
The makeall may script ask you questions about your system and where you |
| 54 |
|
want to install the executables and library files. The pathnames you |

"Rendering with Radiance" by Larson and Shakespeare, which used to be |

gone out of print, and the authors are currently looking at alternative |
| 83 |

means of distribution. The first chapter of this book, which includes |

a basic tutorial and serves as a good introduction for new users, may be |
