Cdk Installation Guide Copyright Mike Glover, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General ------- This document details how to build and install the Cdk library. The first thing you should know is what compile options you may require. I have had the fortunate luck of being able to compile this library on the following platforms: * Sun/OS 4.1.* * Solaris 2.3/2.4/2.5/2.5.1/2.6 * AIX 3.2.* (and even AIX 4.1 but there is no mention of this in the makefile. Sorry.) * HPUX 9.* (and even HPUX 10.* but there is no mention of this in the makefile. Sorry.) * Linux (all sorts Slakware, BSD, and Redhat) Building -------- To build the library cd into the Cdk distribution directory and follow the following steps: 1) Run configure. This will create a Makefile with a default install directory root of /usr/local. If you want to change the default install directory use the --prefix command line argument on configure. For example, if you want to install under /export/local instead, run the command: ./confugure --prefix="/export/local" 2) Type make. This will make the library, the example binaries and the demonstration binaries. 3) Type make install. This will install the CDK distribution. Look at step 1 if you want to install other than /usr/local. 4) Start to play. :) If you want to get a hold of me mail me at one of the following: glover@credit.erin.utoronto.ca mike@vexus.ca The CDK Web page has several homes.
