- - -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. - - - -RELEASE INFO - - -Upgrade Information - -The available options for number formats have been extended. Check your -setting in Options>Preferences - - - -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. - - -Where to go for support - -The following web addresses will be helpful for any questions or bug -reports - -- The Yahoo!Group mailing list - http://groups.yahoo.com/projects/XTrkCad -- The project website for the open source development - http://www.xtrackcad.org/ -- The official Sourceforge site - http://www.sourceforge.net/groups/xtrkcad-fork/ - -Thanks for your interest in XTrackCAD. |
