File Contents

# 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 suupported 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
21 (although not all of them have been tested very recently):
22
23 * linux.cfg Linux
24 * freebsd.cfg FreeBSD unix
25 * darwin.cfg Macintosh OS-X
26 * sunos.cfg Sun Microsysems Solaris Unix
27 * irix.cfg sgi IRIX Unix release 5.x or later
28 * irix4.cfg sgi IRIX Unix release 4.x (obsolete)
29 * irix3.cfg sgi IRIX Unix release 3.x (obsolete)
30 * hpux.cfg Hewlett Packard HP-Unix
31 * aix.cfg IBM AIX Unix
32 * posix.cfg default for unknown Unix systems
33 * win32.cfg MS Windows (Visual C compilers)
34 * cygwin.cfg Cygwin on MS Windows http://www.cygwin.com/
35 * mingw.cfg MingW on MS Windows http://www.mingw.org/

38 <platform>_custom.cfg
39 ---------------------
40
41 If you want to experiment with changes to the shipped file, then
42 you can create a copy named <platform>_custom.cfg, and make your
43 changes there. If such a file exists, then it will be used in
44 place of the original.

47 Contents and format
48 -------------------
49
50 Any text starting with a hash character (#) until the end of the
51 line is ignored as a comment.
52
53 A config file consists of several sections, each of which is
54 introduced by a keyword in brackets.
55 Within each section, a configuration directive starts with a
56 keyword and a colon, followed by the data assigned to that keyword.
57
58
59 Sections
60 --------
61
62 [install] # directories where to install the software
63 [build] # compile and link instructions for production builds
64 [debug] # compile and link instructions for debug builds
65 [code] # code compatibility configuration
66
67
68 Install section
69 ---------------
70
71 # The root directory of the Radiance installation
72 RAD_BASEDIR: /opt/radiance3.6
73
74 # The following are relative to RAD_BASEDIR!
75 # The directory for executables
76 RAD_BINDIR: bin
77
78 # The directory for support files (.cal, .pic, .fnt, etc.)
79 RAD_RLIBDIR: share/lib

85 Debug and Build sections
86 ------------------------
87
88 # The same keywords can (and usually will) be used in both, but
89 # their assigned values will often differ.
90
91 # The compiler to use (example: Gnu gcc)
92 CC: gcc
93
94 # The directories for system header files (not normally needed).
95 CPPPATH:
96
97 # Symbols to define for the preprocessor (example for Cygwin)
98 CPPDEFINES: freebsd HDSUF=.exe
99
100 # Flags for the C preprocessor (example
101 CPPFLAGS: -O2 -Wall -Wno-uninitialized
102
103 # Flags for the C compiler (example for debug build with gcc)
104 CCFLAGS: -pg
105
106 # The directories for system libraries (not normally needed)
107 LIBPATH:
108
109 # Flags for the linker (example for debug build on Windows)

111
112 # Flags specific to ezxml.c (example for cygwin/mingw)
113 EZXML_CPPDEFINES: EZXML_NOMMAP
114
115 # Where to find an installed libtiff and its include files
116 # (Not needed when on a standard search path)
117 # If no libtiff is found here or on the standard paths, then
118 # Radiance will build its own.

122
123 The Code section
124 ----------------
125
126 # There should be no need to edit this section in existing
127 # config files. If you create a new file for a yet untested
128 # platform, you may need to ask on the dev-list what will
129 # work here.
130
131 RAD_COMPAT: # theoretically obsolete (src/common/strcmp.c)
132 RAD_MATHCOMPAT: # erf.c floating point error function
133 RAD_ARGSCOMPAT: # fixargv0.c for Windows
134 RAD_NETCOMPAT: # [win_]netproc.c for ranimate
135 RAD_MLIB: # usually 'm', or any fastlib available
136 RAD_SOCKETLIB: # ws_2_32 on Windows (VC links it automatically)
137 RAD_PROCESS: # our process abstraction and win_popen()
138 RAD_PCALLS: # more custom process abstraction
