[Radiance-general] Radiance on Windows 7 Ultimate using SUA (it works!)

[Guy Vaessen]

Hi Ji,

Yes, you're right ofcource, that's the easy way to install Radiance! ;-)

But the idea (and the credits go to Randolph actually) was to see
how wel Radiance would do with SUA. (Subsystem for Unix based Applications).
SUA is advertised as being Unix on Windows, with, well everything: fork,
bash, NFS, X11 support etc.

And it works very wel, today I got rvu and falsecolor running on Win 7.
Trad doesn't work (segfaults) and rpiece only calculates 7 out of 8 image
paches (leaves one black spot),
might have done something wrong because rpiece complained about a -pm
setting.

The performance also isn't bad: 32 minutes for Mark Stock's benchmark test
on a Intel 2600K (@3.8GHz) system.

Best Regards,

Guy
