Eqdiff, Unix version

Installation

First, to use the program, you need to have GTK+ 1.2 library somewhere on your system. To check this, type ' gtk-config --version ' in a shell. If gtk-config does not exist, or if the version is not exactly 1.2, you need to get GTK+ 1.2. You can find it at http://www.gtk.org
On Debian-like systems, typically you need to install the package libgtk1.2-dev .

Go to some directory where you want to put the program.

Download the source (zipped tar file).

To uncompress the file, type

gunzip eqdiff.tar.gz;tar x -f eqdiff.tar

Then go to the eqdiff/ subdirectory and type

make

Now the program, named eqdiff, is ready-to-run, if by chance the make process didn't fail.

Troubleshooting

For unknown reasons, on some systems you may have to type make several times to get the process completed.

You need to have the gcc compiler and a Make utility to compile properly. Otherwise, compile all the files


mathlib/mathexpr.cpp
mathlib/rand.cpp
eqdiff/funcs.cpp
eqdiff/afaire.cpp
eqdiff/eqdiff.cpp
eqdiff/eqdiff4.cpp
eqdiff/fenetre.cpp
eqdiff/main.cpp
eqdiff/setupdials.cpp
eqdiff/files.cpp

You have to link these files with the math library and with GTK 1.2, see above (for linking with GTK refer to http://www.gtk.org)

If you encounter any problem during the process, first check that the problem does not come from the use of GTK: please first read the GTK FAQ at http://www.gtk.org.

If you encounter a problem with conversion from/to void pointers, try to define NULL=0 somewhere (or to remove this definition from the Makefile).

Otherwise, mail me at yann.ollivier (domain:) normalesup.org and give as many details as possible.
