# Content
1 Platform configuration files for the SCons based build system
2 -------------------------------------------------------------
3
4 <platform>_<##>.cfg
5 --------------
6
7 The <platform>_<##>.cfg files in this directory are used to determine
8 the right settings, libraries, source files etc. on the platform
9 where you are building Radiance. The build system will select the
10 appropriate file automatically.
11
12 If your platform isn't supported yet, then you can create a new
13 file with an appropriat name (SCons should tell you what it
14 expects). Usually, you will start by copying the file of the most
15 similar supported platform, and then make the necessary changes.
16
17 On unix based platforms without a specific config file, the file
18 "posix_<##>.cfg" will be used (which may or may not work well enough).
19
20 As of this writing, the following platforms are included where the
21 numbers 32 and 64 indicate 32 bit or 64 bit systems rspectively.
22 (although not all of them have been tested very recently):
23
24 * Linux_32.cfg Linux
25 * Linux_63.cfg Linux
26 * FreeBSD_32.cfg FreeBSD unix
27 * FreeBSD_64.cfg FreeBSD unix
28 * Darwin_64.cfg Macintosh OS-X
29 * Darwin_32.cfg Macintosh OS-X
30 * posix_64.cfg default for unknown Unix systems
31 * posix_32.cfg default for unknown Unix systems
32 * Windows_64.cfg Microsoft Windows with Visual C/C++
33 * Windows_32.cfg Microsoft Windows with Visual C/C++
34 * mingw_64.cfg MingW on MS Windows http://www.mingw.org/
35 * mingw_32.cfg MingW on MS Windows http://www.mingw.org/
36
37 The configuration for 32 bit and 64 bit architecture of the
38 same platform will typically be very similar, with just some
39 compiler flags indicating the different target.

41
42 <platform>_custom.cfg
43 ---------------------
44
45 If you want to experiment with changes to the downloaded file, then
46 you can create a copy named <platform>_custom.cfg, and make your
47 changes there. If such a file exists, then it will be used in
48 place of the original.

51 Contents and format
52 -------------------
53
54 Any text starting with a hash character (#) until the end of the
55 line is ignored as a comment.
56
57 A config file consists of several sections, each of which is
58 introduced by a keyword in brackets.
59 Within each section, a configuration directive starts with a
60 keyword and a colon, followed by the data assigned to that keyword.
61
62
63 Sections
64 --------
65
66 [install] # directories where to install the software
67 [build] # compile and link instructions for production builds
68 [debug] # compile and link instructions for debug builds
69 [code] # code compatibility configuration
70
71
72 Install section
73 ---------------
74
75 Values in this section may refer to environment variables, in the
76 form {VARNAME}. On Windows the variable names must be given in
77 all uppercase.
78
79 # The root directory of the Radiance installation
80 # The second example reflects the installation standard on Windows.
81 RAD_BASEDIR: /opt/radiance
82 RAD_BASEDIR: {PROGRAMFILES}/radiance
83
84 # The following are relative to RAD_BASEDIR!
85 # The directory for executables
86 RAD_BINDIR: bin
87
88 # The directory for support files (.cal, .pic, .fnt, etc.)
89 RAD_RLIBDIR: share/lib
90
91 # The directory for the man pages
92 RAD_MANDIR: share/man
93
94
95 Debug and Build sections
96 ------------------------
97
98 The same keywords can (and usually will) be used in both, but
99 their assigned values will often differ.
100
101 # The compiler to use (example: Gnu gcc)
102 CC: gcc
103
104 # The directories for system header files (not normally needed).
105 CPPPATH:
106
107 # Symbols to define for the preprocessor (example for Mingw)
108 CPPDEFINES: freebsd HDSUF=.exe
109
110 # Flags for the C preprocessor (example for gcc)
111 CPPFLAGS: -O2 -Wall -Wno-uninitialized
112
113 # Flags for the C compiler (example for debug build with gcc)
114 CCFLAGS: -pg
115
116 # The directories for system libraries (not normally needed)
117 LIBPATH:
118
119 # Flags for the linker (example for debug build on Windows)
120 LINKFLAGS: /Yd
121
122 # Flags specific to ezxml.c (example for cygwin/mingw)
123 EZXML_CPPDEFINES: EZXML_NOMMAP
124
125 # Where to find an installed libtiff and its include files
126 # (Not needed when on a standard search path)
127 # If no libtiff is found here or on the standard paths, then
128 # Radiance will build its own.

130 TIFFINCLUDE:

132
133 The Code section
134 ----------------
135
136 # There should be no need to edit this section in existing
137 # config files. If you create a new file for a yet untested
138 # platform, you may need to ask on the dev-list what will
139 # work here.
140
141 RAD_COMPAT: # theoretically obsolete (src/common/strcmp.c)
142 RAD_MATHCOMPAT: # erf.c floating point error function
143 RAD_ARGSCOMPAT: # fixargv0.c for Windows
144 RAD_NETCOMPAT: # [win_]netproc.c for ranimate
145 RAD_MLIB: # usually 'm', or any fastlib available
146 RAD_SOCKETLIB: # ws_2_32 on Windows (VC links it automatically)
147 RAD_PROCESS: # our process abstraction and win_popen()
148 RAD_PCALLS: # more custom process abstraction
