David, I have uploaded Opendx 4.0.10 binaries for Windows/Cygwin, to your SDSC ftp server. I will classify this release as stable therefore it replaces previous OpenDX 4.0.6 and 4.0.9 releases for Windows. Below is the README file.
Regards Suhaib ---------------------------------------------------------------- First: I have switched to distributing my binary releases as Bzip2 archives. Bzip2 offers better compression, therefore less download time and less space of ftp server. If you do not have Bzip2 installed on your Windows NT/9x, you can get a copy from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2. This release uses LessTif 0.89.9. OSF/MOTIF seems to have a drag and drop bug on Windows. It is an outstanding bug, since years, which often shows up on several platforms. I did not get time to trace it in OSF/MOTIF code and possibly fix it. Therefore for now I am sticking to LessTif. The download archive is spitted into two parts: 1) opendx-4.0.10-cygwin-v1.1.tar.bz2: It contains everything except fonts. docs, help and html pages. If you have previous release of OpenDX installed, then you ONLY need this. 2) opendx-4.0.10-docs.tar.bz2: Contains only docs, html, help and fonts directories. If you do not have previous releases of OpenDX installed then you need both archives. If you are using Netscape, you may see gibberish on your screen when you try to download a bzip2 archive. Either hold the Shift key while clicking to download, or edit the Netscape Preferences. Under Edit --> Preferences --> Navigator --> Application: in Description: fill in Bzip2 Compressed archive. in MIME Type: application/x-bzip2 and in Suffixes: tar.bz2 Check the "Unknown: Prompt User" box then click OK button. The binaries were compiled using: GCC 2.95.2 Cygwin version 1.1 (CD Release) ImageMagick 5.1.1 CDF 2.5 NetCDF HDF SGI GLX/Mesa 3.2 from XFree86 4.0 TTF TIFF (latest release with no LZW Compression) Jpeg (latest release with no Compression) PNG (latest release with no LZW compression) Jbig libz Most of the libraries are statically linked. The libraries and executables are stripped from debugging symbols. All the Xlib DLLs needed for OpenDx are in the archive. However, it is recommended you download my X11R6.4 complete distribution from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree The OpenDx libs compiled with Microsoft Visual C/C++ are also included, in case you want to develop OpenDX clients using Microsoft Visual C/C++ (MSVC). The recommended version of MSVC is 6.0 with SP 4.0 or later. You will need an X-server. All the OpenDx related questions should be addressed to OpenDx mailing lists ONLY. All the Cygwin usage related questions should be addresses to Cygwin mailing list. You can subscribe to Cygwin mailing list by sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recommended: Install OpenDx in /usr/local on your C:\ drive. If you install in another directory or drive, you MUST edit Opendx.bat found in dx/bin directory. Have fun!!!! Suhaib **************************** Suhaib M.
