-- Supports any scale.
-- Supplied with parameter libraries for many popular brands of
- turnouts, plus the capability to define your own.
-- Automatic easement (spiral transition) curve calculation.
-- Extensive help files and video-clip demonstration mode.
-
-Availability: XTrkCad Fork is a project for further development of the

-INSTALLATION
-
-
-Windows
-
-XTrackCad has only been tested on Windows 7.
-
-The MS-Windows version of XTrackCad is shipped as a self-extracting/
-self-installing program using the NSIS Installer from Nullsoft Inc.
-
-Using Windows Explorer, locate the directory in which you downloaded or
-copied your new version of XTrackCAD.
-
-Start the installation program by double clicking on the
-[XTRKCAD-SETUP-4.3.0.EXE][] file icon.
-
-Follow the steps in the installation program.
-
-The installation lets you define the directory into which XTrackCAD is
-installed. The directory is created automatically if it doesn't already
-exist.
-
-A program folder named XTrackCAD 4.3.0 will be created during the
-installation process. This folder contains the program, documentation,
-parameter and example files. An existing installation of earlier
-versions of XTrackCad is not overwritten.
-
-A new program group named XTrackCad 4.3.0 will be created in the Start
-menu.
-
-
-Linux
-
-XTrackCAD for LINUX is shipped as a RPM file and a self extracting
-archive. You will need libc6, X11R6, GTK+2.0, webkitgtk.
-
-Installing from the RPM package.
-
-Use your operating system's package manager to install XTrackCAD.
-
-Installing from the self-extracting archive.
-
-After downloading open a command line then
-
- ./xtrkcad-setup-4.3.0.x86_64.sh --prefix=/usr/local --exclude-subdir
-
-This will install the executable in /usr/local/bin. A directory named
-xtrkcad will be created in /usr/local/share and all files will be
-unpacked into it.
-
-If you install XTrackCAD into another directory, set the XTRKCADLIB
-environment variable to point to that directory.

-BUILDING
-
-
-Overview
-
-The following instructions detail building XTrackCAD using CMake. CMake
-is a cross-platform build system, available at http://www.cmake.org,
-that can be used to generate builds for a variety of build tools ranging
-from "make" to Visual Studio and XCode. Using CMake you can build
-XTrackCAD on Windows, GNU/Linux, and Mac OSX using the build tool(s) of
-your choice.
-
-Building XTrackCAD on GNU/Linux
-
-- Obtain the current sources from Mercurial; I assume that they are
- stored locally at "~/src/xtrkcad". Note that the correct URL for
- read-only access to Mercurial is
- http://xtrkcad-fork.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/xtrkcad-fork/xtrkcad
-- Create a separate build directory; for these instructions I assume
- that your build directory is "~/build/xtrkcad".
-- Run CMake from the build directory, passing it the path to the
- source directory:
-
- $ cd ~/build/xtrkcad $ ccmake ~/src/xtrkcad
-
-- Press the "c" key to configure the build. After a few moments you
- will see four options to configure: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE,
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, XTRKCAD_USE_GTK, and XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO.
-- Use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to control the build type. Enter "Debug" for a
- debug build, "Release" for a release build, etc.
-- Use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to control where the software will be
- installed. For this example, I assume "~/install/xtrkcad".
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GETTEXT to add new locales (language translations).
- Choose "OFF" to use XTrackCAD's default language (English). Refer to
- http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/Internationalization for
- additional information.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK to control the user-interface back-end. Choose
- "OFF" for Windows, "ON" for all other platforms.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO to enable optional high-quality
- antialiased Cairo rendering for the GTK back-end. This option has no
- effect unless you are using the GTK back-end.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN to enable the production of type, function,
- etc., documentation from the the source code. Requires doxygen if
- enabled. Enable if and only if you intend to hack on the code.
-- If you made any changes, press the "c" key again to update your
- new configuration.
-- Once everything is configured to your satisfaction, press the "g"
- key to generate makefiles for your build.
-- Compile XTrkCad using your new build:
-
- $ make
-
-- Install the new binary:
-
- $ make install
-
-- Run the installed binary:
-
- $ ~/install/xtrkcad/bin/xtrkcad
-
-- If XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN was enabled:
-
- $ make docs-doxygen
-
-to create the internals documentation. Read this documentation by
-pointing your web browser at
-~/build/xtrkcad/docs/doxygen/html/index.html.
-
-Building XTrackCAD on Mac OSX
-
-- You will need to install the following dependencies - I recommend
- using http://www.macports.org to obtain them:
-- GTK2
-- webkit
-- gnome-icon-theme
-- Once the prerequisites are installed the build instructions are the
- same as for the GNU/Linux build, above.
-- Remember that to run XTrackCAD on OSX, you need to have X11 running
- with your DISPLAY set.
-
-Building XTrackCAD on Windows
-
-- Obtain the current sources from Mercurial; I assume that they are
- stored locally at "c:/src/xtrkcad". Note that the correct URL for
- read-only access to Mercurial is
- http://xtrkcad-fork.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/xtrkcad-fork/xtrkcad
-- Use the Windows Start menu to run CMake (cmake-gui).
-- Specify the source and build directories in the CMake window. You
- must provide a build directory outside the source tree - I
- use "c:/build/xtrkcad".
-- Press the "Configure" button to configure the build. You will be
- prompted for the type of build to generate. Choose your desired
- tool - I used "Visual Studio 10". After a few moments you will see
- three options to configure: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, XTRKCAD_USE_GTK,
- and XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO.
-- Use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to control where the software will be
- installed. The default "c:/Program Files/XTrkCAD" is a good choice.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GETTEXT to add new locales (language translations).
- Choose "OFF" to use XTrackCAD's default language (English). Refer to
- http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/Internationalization for
- additional information.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK to control the user-interface back-end. Choose
- "OFF" for Windows.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO to enable optional high-quality
- antialiased Cairo rendering for the GTK back-end. This option has no
- effect unless on Windows.
-- Use XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN to enable the production of type, function,
- etc., documentation from the the source code. Requires doxygen if
- enabled. Enable if and only if you intend to hack on the code.
-- If you made any changes, press the "Configure" button again to
- update your new configuration.
-- Once everything is configured to your satisfaction, press the "OK"
- button to generate project files for your build.
-- Compile XTrackCad using the new project files. For example, start
- MSVC and open the "XTrkCAD.sln" solution file which is located in
- your build directory.
-- Build the "BUILD_ALL" project to build the software.
-- Build the "INSTALL" project to install the software.
-- Run XTrackCAD by double-clicking its icon located in the install
- directory - for example: c:/Program Files/XTrkCAD/bin/xtrkcad.exe.
