Simply edit +the makefile and follow the instructions at NOTE1, NOTE2 and NOTE3. Then +just : + +make + +Which (all being well) should generate the glgrav executable. + +Note that GCC V3.2 was used, and GCC is expected for building. The makefile +only includes instructions for GNU/Linux or cygwin (for windows). Any version +of Unix should be able to compile this too, and any platform that provides +OpenGL and GLU/GLUT shouldn't have too much trouble building it. + + +Usage +----- + +glgrav [datafile] + +If datafile is not passed, then a file called 'dat' is searched for in the +current directory. + +The datafile defines the system to simulate in glgrav. For instructions on +the commands available, read the supplied 'dat' file. + +Once running using the right mouse button will bring up a fairly self +explanatory menu. + + +Known Bugs +---------- + +For some reason under Windows the first few menu items don't work. This could +be a bug in the GLU/GLUT code in Windows. Or alternatively my bad coding. + +I've tried to organise the menus so that it shouldn't matter too much (the +missing choices can easily be changed in the datafile). + + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +$Id: README,v 1.1.1.1 2006-05-02 19:12:46 ianc Exp $ |
