I have now improved build system in git repo. It now supports packages and more flexible configuration. To test build with packages do:
0. Go to directory where you will build poplog 1. Fetch core sources: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/hebisch/poplog . 2. Fetch packages: cd pop git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/hebisch/poplog_packages packages cd .. 3. Make directory for corepop: mkdir -p target/pop 4. Fetch corepop: wget https://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/poplog/corepop.amd64 5. Turn on executable bits on fetched corepop: chmod 755 corepop.amd64 6. Move corepop to proper place: mv corepop.amd64 target/pop/corepop 7. Run configure: ./configure 8. Make new corepop: make stamp_new_corepop 9. Replace old corepop by new: mv target/pop/new_corepop target/pop/corepop 10. Build: make 11. Clean up files not needed for normal use: make buildclean Above I assumed build on 64-bit PC. If you have PC with 32-bit OS replace corepop.amd64 above by corepop.i386 configure detects capabilities of build machine and by default disables unsupported features: if you have no support for X developement, then X support will be disabled, if you have Xt, but no Motif, then Poplog will use Xt. If you have Motif, then Poplog will be linked with Motif. If this choice is not satisfactory, configure supports options: --with_no_x will disable X support even if machine has X libraries. --with_xt will insist on Xt, that is ignore Motif and fail if there are no machine does not suppot Xt. --with_motif will insist on Motif, if there are no Motif it will fail. As I wrote earlier, by defult binaries are created in subdirectory 'target'. But this is configurable now. To get directory layout similar to traditional Poplog distribution in instructions above replace 'target' by 'pop' (that is put fetched corepop in 'pop/pop') and use --target_subdir=pop option to configure. Even with --target_subdir=pop there will be some difference in layout: binary external libraries will go to 'pop/exlibs' and saved images will go to 'pop/psv'. Also, I modified ppovision so that libraries needed by popvision are in target/packages/popviosion/bin subdirectory (or pop/packages/popviosion/bin if you use -target_subdir=pop). Note also that neural and popvision in git package repo are modifed so that normally libraries are taken relative to 'popsys'. I intend to provide a tarball with core parts, packages and corepop so that most steps above will be replaced by fetching and unpacking the tarball. -- Waldek Hebisch
