Building the tools with Cygwin
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to make Terragear with Cygwin, it is necessary to remove the 'Parallel' directory from 'SUBDIRS' in the makefile in Terragear/src/construct. The parallel building tools don't appear to have a hope of building on Windoze as is, and are not needed to run the tools on one machine only.
|
|
|
|
Other than that,
|
|
|
|
./configure make make install
|
|
|
|
should now work fine. If make dies with references to fg_path in array.cxx then your version of Simgear is out of date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the tools on Windoze
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Firstly, its usefull to have a scroll buffer in action on your Windoze command prompt in order to view the copious output from the tools. If you havn't got it or an alternative already, then the consize utility from http://cygutils.netpedia.net/ is excellent. Note that on Win9x you'll also need a 32bit command prompt to use it, also available from the same site. None of this is necessary to run the Terragear tools, but I find that it makes all command prompt operations a lot easier.
|
|
|
|
Instructions on using the tools are available in Alexi's README.howto, the following is intended as clarification for Windoze users. Note that running:
|
|
<toolname> -help
|
|
should print out the usage for any of the tools.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
raw2ascii should work fine, except that you will have to create your output directory manually. An example command line is:
|
|
|
|
F:\unix\usr\local\bin>raw2ascii f:\unix\dem\w020n90\w020n90 f:\unix\dem\w020n90\output
|
|
|
|
It appears that (currently, 26/10/00) the Terragear tools are unable to create directories in Windoze (I've only tested this on NT4 BTW) so if you get an error message along the lines of:
|
|
|
|
"Error opening output file = f:\unix\dem\w020n90\output/w020n40.dem"
|
|
|
|
then check that you've created the output directory that you've asked it to put the files in.
|
|
|
|
However, it appears that the code attempts to gzip the output files, but fails on windoze, so you'll have to gzip them manually if you want. This will save a *lot* of space.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
demchop seems to work in most cases, except that once again you'll have to create the output directories when it complains about being unable to open a file. Make sure you use the dem-30 or dem-3 directories described in Alexi's readme since this is where the final construction stage will automatically look for the chopped files. You don't need the .gz extension when using demchop, so the example command line:
|
|
|
|
F:\unix\usr\local\bin>demchop f:\unix\dem\w020n90\output\w002n52.dem f:\unix\dem\w020n90\dem-30
|
|
|
|
will chop either w002n52.dem or w002n52.dem.gz In this instance you would have to manually create the directories w010n50 and w002n52 as subdirectories of dem-30 when it complains about being unable to open a file.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately some files are giving me stackdumps when running demchop on them and I havn't figured out why yet.
|
|
|
|
And that's as far as I've got. |
