Later on it is explained how to build a single library.</p> +<h3>System Configuration</h3> +<p>You will have to download the development version of some packages installed +on your system. Although the run time version of some of these packages are +already installed, the development versions are usually not. The packages +described here are for Ubuntu, but you will be able to identify them for other +systems as well.</p> +<p>To build Lua you will need:</p> + <pre>libreadline5-dev</pre> + <p>To build IM you will need:</p> + <pre>g++</pre> + <p>To build CD you will need:</p> +<pre>libx11-dev +libxpm-dev +libxmu-dev + libxft-dev (for the XRender driver, OPTIONAL) +libgtk2.0-dev (for the GDK driver)</pre> + +<p>To build IUP you will need:</p> +<pre>libgtk2.0-dev (for the GTK driver) [already installed for CD] + libmotif-dev and x11proto-print-dev (for the Motif driver, OPTIONAL) +libgl1-mesa-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev (for the IupGLCanvas)</pre> +<h3>Download</h3> +<p>Download the "xxx-X.X_Sources.tar.gz" package from the "<strong>Docs and Sources</strong>" +folder for the version you want to build. Here are links for the <strong>Files</strong> section +in <strong>Source Forge</strong>:</p> +<p>Lua - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/luabinaries/files/"> +http://sourceforge.net/projects/luabinaries/files/</a><br> +IM - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/imtoolkit/files/"> +http://sourceforge.net/projects/imtoolkit/files/</a><br> +CD - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/canvasdraw/files/"> +http://sourceforge.net/projects/canvasdraw/files/</a><br> +IUP - <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/iup/files/"> +http://sourceforge.net/projects/iup/files/</a></p> +<h3>Lua</h3> +<p>Although we use Lua from LuaBinaries, any Lua installation can also be used. +But you will have to define some environment variables before building IM, CD and +IUP. Here is an example:</p> +<pre class="example">export LUA_SUFFIX= +export LUA_INC=/usr/local/include [actually NOT necessary, this one is already used by gcc/g++] +export LUA_LIB=/usr/local/lib [ " ] +export LUA_BIN=/usr/local/bin [necessary because luac will not be used from the PATH]</pre> +<p>The tools <strong>bin2c</strong> and <strong>luac</strong> are necessary only if you need to rebuild LOH files. +But since the source packages already includes them, those tools are in fact not +necessary.</p> +<h3>Unpacking</h3> +<p>If you are going to build all the libraries, the makefiles and projects +expect the following directory tree:</p> +<pre>/xxxx/ + iup/ + cd/ + im/ + lua5.1/ [optional]</pre> + +<p>So, unpack all the source packages in the same folder that will do fine.</p> +<h3>Building</h3> + +<p>As a general rule (excluding system dependencies): IUP depends on CD and IM, +and CD depends on IM. So start by build IM, then CD, then IUP.</p> +<p>To start building go the the "<strong>src</strong>" folder and type "<strong>make</strong>". In IUP there are +many "srcxxx" folders, so go to the up folder "iup" and type +"<strong>make</strong>" that all the +sub folders will be built.</p> +<p>Instead of building all the libraries, try building only the libraries you +are going to use. The provided makefiles will build all the libraries, but take +a look inside them and you will figure out how to build just one library. </p> +<h3>Installation</h3> + +<p>After building you can copy the libraries files to the system folder. This is +not necessary since you can use -I and -L on your makefiles, but it can be done. +If you are inside one of the libraries main folder you can type:</p> +<pre>cp lib/Linux26g4/* /usr/local/lib +cp include/* /usr/local/include</pre> +<p>This will copy run time and development files. If you just want the run time, +then do simply:</p> +<pre>cp lib/Linux26g4/*.so /usr/local/lib</pre> +<p>Also when coping development folders, if you want to keep the library headers +in a separate folder, you can do:</p> +<pre>cp -R iup/include /usr/local/include/iup +cp -R cd/include /usr/local/include/cd +cp -R im/include /usr/local/include/im</pre> +<p>Then use in your makefile -Iiup -Icd -Iim.</p> +<p>This installation procedure also can be used for the pre-compiled binaries +packages available for download. They contain the development and run time files +you need. </p> +<p>If you <strong>don't</strong> want to copy the libraries to your system +folder, you can still use them, but you will need to add the binaries folders to +the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example:</p> +<pre>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/xxxx/iup/lib/Linux26g4:/xxxx/cd/lib/Linux26g4:/xxxx/im/lib/Linux26g4</pre> +<p>In this case, in your makefile will will also need to specify those paths +when linking using -L/xxxx/iup/lib/Linux26g4.</p> +<h4>Lua</h4> +<p>If you are NOT using LuaBinaries then you have two options to be able to use +"require" with these libraries. You can create symbolic links in the Lua C +modules folder to the installed libraries run time:</p> +<pre>ln -s /usr/local/lib/lipiuplua51.so /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/iuplua.so +ln -s /usr/local/lib/lipiupluacontrols51.so /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/iupluacontrols.so +...</pre> +<p>You can set the LUA_CPATH environment variable:</p> +<pre>export LUA_CPATH=./\?.so\;./lib\?.so\;./lib\?51.so\; +</pre> + +</body> + +</html>
