(Actually, the windows version is just the MSDOS version, which can be run inside an msdos window within windows-95, windows-NT, etc.) <p> <h4>14.4.0.1: MSDOS Operating System</h4> To compile and install Gri under MSDOS, do this: <ol> <li> To begin, install `<font color="#82140F"><code>DJGPP V2</code></font>', if it is not on your system already. It can be found at <a href="http://www.delorie.com/djgpp">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://www.delorie.com/djgpp</code></font>'</a> <li> Uncompress and extract from gri source package (see <a href="uncompiled-unix.html#UncompiledUnix">Uncompiled Unix</a>). <li> Type `<font color="#82140F"><code>make -f Makefile.dj2</code></font>' to compile. If it fails, you might have to edit the file `<font color="#82140F"><samp>Makefile.dj2</samp></font>' to match the characteristics of your system. Please inform the author, <A HREF="mailto:Dan.Kelley@Dal.CA"> Dan Kelley </A> at Dan.Kelley@Dal.CA, if you think your modifications might be useful to others. <li> Type `<font color="#82140F"><code>make -f Makefile.dj2 install</code></font>' to install it (normally on the `<font color="#82140F"><code>C:</code></font>' drive). </ol> <p> If you encounter problems, read the first few lines of the Makefile (i.e. the file `<font color="#82140F"><samp>Makefile.dj2</samp></font>') for hints on things to try. For example, in the present version of `<font color="#82140F"><samp>Makefile.dj2</samp></font>' these hints are given: <ol> <li> There is a good chance that this Makefile will work as is, so try that first. <li> If you have the `<font color="#82140F"><samp>netcdf</samp></font>' library (used for certain types of atmospheric and oceanographic datasets), then un-comment and possibly edit the appropriate `<font color="#82140F"><code>NETCDF_...</code></font>' lines below, as instructed by the comments preceding these lines. <li> If you don't want Gri inserted in the directory `<font color="#82140F"><samp>c:/gri</samp></font>', edit the `<font color="#82140F"><code>instdir = ...</code></font>' line below. <li> If you get error messages about the `<font color="#82140F"><samp>stdcxx</samp></font>' library, edit the `<font color="#82140F"><code>LIBS</code></font>' line below, rewriting `<font color="#82140F"><samp>-lstdcxx</samp></font>' as `<font color="#82140F"><samp>-lstdcx</samp></font>'. <li> If you get compilation errors relating to `<font color="#82140F"><code>time</code></font>' or to `<font color="#82140F"><code>ftime</code></font>', try putting the token `<font color="#82140F"><code>-DHAVE_FTIME=1</code></font>' in the list of similar token in the `<font color="#82140F"><code>DEFS = ...</code></font>' line. For consistency (basically, so the author can help you if you do this), put it right after the `<font color="#82140F"><code>-D_GRI_=1</code></font>' token. </ol> <p> To view the output, use a PostScript viewer such as GSview. (<a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html</code></font>'</a>). <p> <h4>14.4.0.2: LINUX Operating System</h4> Linux is a good emulation of unix, and it is free. Gri for linux is compiled and installed according to the normal unix instructions. The compiled version is with a name like `<font color="#82140F"><code>gri-binary-solaris-2.1.10.tar.gz</code></font>'; treat it as in other unix systems (see <a href="uncompiled-unix.html#UncompiledUnix">Uncompiled Unix</a>). <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
