[Radiance-general] Radiance 3.5.0 Linux-Binaries for Alpha, Intel, Sparc

[Lars Grobe]

Hi ! 
 
For those without compilers ;-) 
 
I have built binaries of the new 3.5.0-release for various Linux-platforms.
The 
tarballs contain a directory called "radiance", you should copy it into /opt
and 
set two environment variables (e.g. in ~/.bashrc): RAYPATH to
/opt/radiance/lib 
and PATH to /opt/radiance/bin (of course, you must append the previous 
RAYPATH/PATH-directories... ;-). Here: 
 
export RAYPATH=/opt/radiance/lib:$RAYPATH 
export PATH=/opt/radiance/bin:$PATH 
 
I have the new path-entries before the others, to make sure to override
older 
releases of radiance. The binaries are all build on SuSE-Linux 7.x with 
2.4.x-kernels, they SHOULD work on all recent Linux distributions - however,
I 
cannot test that. The sparc and intel builds were done using gcc 2.95.3, the

alpha-build is by compaq c 6.2. 
 
So here are the links: 
 
Alpha / AXP, Linux 2.4:

Sun Hypersparc (v8) and later, Linux 2.4:  

http://fachschaft.pool.architektur.tu-darmstadt.de/static_html/webseiten/linuxarchitekt/Rad-Linux-Hypersparc-3.5.0.tar.bz2   
 
Intel x86, Linux 2.4:

http://fachschaft.pool.architektur.tu-darmstadt.de/static_html/webseiten/linuxarchitekt/Rad-Linux-x86-3.5.0.tar.bz2   
 
I will do a gcc-3-based Solaris-build for ultrasparcs, too. However, as I
don't 
have a license of Sun's native compiler, I cannot build an optimized binary.
So 
anybody out there who could do the build with Sun Forte C??? 
 
Please tell me if the binaries are working on your systems. BTW, if you are 
going to use radiance on a regular base.. it's always better to build
software for 
your specific configuration ;-) 
 
Jeffrey: If you are going to build rpms, I think this would be great. I
personally 
think that one should build rpms for specific distributions, and I don't
have any 
experience in that, but on the long run, it would be great for new users if
tehy 
could simply pick a rpm or deb for their distribution without worrying about

PATH-settings, compilers and dependencies. I will take a look at rpm, if you
get 
any further with this, please tell me (I have SuSE and Debian systems here,
as 
well as Solaris, having its own package management). 
 
CU, Lars.
