<h2><a name="getting">Obtaining fly</a>
</h2>
<p> <b>fly</b> source code is available in the following formats:</p>
<dl>
<dt>unix tar, compressed:</dt>
<dd><a href="dist/fly-2.0.0.tar.Z">fly-2.0.0.tar.Z</a> (160k)</dd>
<dt>unix tar, GNU zipped:</dt>
<dd><a href="dist/fly-2.0.0.tar.gz">fly-2.0.0.tar.gz</a> (92k)</dd>
<dt>pkzip:</dt>
<dd><a href="dist/fly-2.0.0.zip">fly-2.0.0.zip</a> (100k)</dd>
</dl>
<p>You will also need to download and install <a
href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/">gd</a> (fly has been tested with gd
1.8.4), which also requires <a href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/"
>libpng</a>, <a href="http://www.gzip.org/zlib/">zlib</a> and, if desired,
<a href="http://www.ijg.org/">jpeg 6b or later.</a> If you need to
create GIF images you will need to use Philip Warner's <a
href="http://www.rime.com.au/gd/">patched version of gd 1.8.4</a>.

<h3><a name="email"> via E-Mail</a>
</h3>
<p> Because some users have reported difficulties in retrieving <b>fly</b>
by ftp, due to slow internet links, I have created an autoresponse
system where the <b>fly</b> distribution can be mailed to you.
</p>
<p> To obtain <b>fly</b> via email, send a message to
<tt>auto-mailer@www.unimelb.edu.au</tt> with no subject, and the
following line (<strong>exactly</strong>) in the <strong>body</strong>
of the message:<br /><br /><tt>send <i><filename></i></tt><br /><br />
where <tt><i><filename></i></tt> is one of the filenames above
(e.g. <tt>fly-1.6.5.tar.gz</tt>, <tt>fly-1.6.5.exe</tt>,
<tt>fly-1.6.5.SunOS-5.4-sun4d.tar.gz</tt> etc.)
</p>
<p> <span style="color: red">Note:</span> Do NOT send HTML mail to this
address. Heck, don't send HTML mail to <em>any</em> address! But I
digress. If you do send HTML mail, you'll just have to do it again
the right way.

<h2><a name="installing">Installing fly</a>
</h2>
<p> If you have obtained <b>fly-<i>n</i>.tar.Z</b> or
<b>fly-<i>n</i>.tar.gz</b>, enter the following commands at the unix
prompt:
</p>
<dl>
<dt> <kbd> uncompress fly-<i>n</i>.tar.Z </kbd> or <kbd>gunzip
fly-<i>n</i>.tar.gz</kbd>
</dt>
<dd> This will decompress the compressed archive.
</dd>
<dt> <kbd> tar xfv fly-<i>n</i>.tar </kbd>
</dt>
<dd> This will un-tar the archive, placing its contents
in a directory called <b>fly</b>
</dd>
<dt> <kbd> cd fly-<i>n</i>; make </kbd>
</dt>
<dd> If all goes well, this will compile the program
giving you an executable called <b>fly</b>
</dd>
</dl>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<hr class="divider" />
<p> If you have obtained the NT/Win95 zip file, <b>fly-<i>n</i>.WinNT.zip</b>,
enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
</p>
<dl>
<dt> <kbd>pkunzip -d fly-<i>n</i>.zip</kbd>
</dt>
<dd> This will unzip the archive. <em>Note: it is
<strong>essential</strong> that you use the <strong>-d
switch</strong> to force pkunzip to create the necessary
directories</em>.<br />
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Windows users can also use <a href="http://www.winzip.com/">WinZip</a>
to extract the files with all the compression formats used on this page
including zip, tar, and gz.
</p>
<p> If you have obtained the NT/Win95 binary, <b>fly-<i>n</i>.exe</b>, no
installation is necessary.
</p>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<hr class="divider" />
<p> If you obtained one of the precompiled binaries, enter the following
commands:
</p>
<dl>
<dt></dt>
<dd><kbd>gunzip fly-<i>n</i>.<i>OS</i>.tar.gz</kbd><br />
<kbd>tar xfv fly-<i>n</i>.<i>OS</i>.tar</kbd></dd>
</dl>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<hr class="divider" />
<h2> <a name="trouble">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
<p> If you are attempting to compile from source and don't have gcc, you
will get an error message along the lines of <tt>'gcc: command not
found'</tt> and make will exit. Just change the lines in the Makefile
and the Makefile in the gd1.2 directory that read:<br />
<tt>CC = gcc</tt><br />
to:<br />
<tt>CC = cc</tt><br />
and it should work. If it still doesn't compile, try one of the
pre-compiled binaries, or contact me.
