OVT 2.1 :: Installing under UNIX
Requirements
OVT requires :
- Java (J2SE/JDK 1.2-1.3.x)
- OpenGL or Mesa
- VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 3.2 with Java support
Follow the following steps before building OVT:
- Install Java
- Install OpenGL or Mesa libraries
- Install VTK with Java support
Java Installation
You need to install Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) version 1.2 - 1.3.x.
Note that OVT doesnt not work with versions: 1.1.x, 1.4.
Install SUN's implementations of Java
(recommended) or Java Port by the vendor other then SUN Microsystems.
To speed up OVT and VTK compilation process you can also install jikes.
OpenGL/Mesa Installation, VTK Installation
For OpenGL/Mesa and VTK installation please refer
VTK for OVT page (http://ovt.irfu.se/vtk/)
OVT Installation
- Download OVT sources (ovt2g-2.1-XX.src.tar.gz) from http://ovt.irfu.se/download/
- Unpack sources: gzcat ovt2g-2.1-XX.src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
- cd ovt2g-2.1
- Run configure script:
./configure --with-jdk=/path/to/your/JDKHOME --with-vtk-classpath=/path/to/your/vtk.jar --with-vtk-lib=/path/to/your/vtk/libs/dir
Use ./configure --help for help.
If you have installed jikes, add it to PATH before running configure.
- make
- Become a superuser: su -l
- make install
By default OVT will be installed under /usr/local/.
If you want OVT to be installed under the directory other than /usr/local/,
let's say /opt you have to supply configure with
--with-prefix=/opt parameter.
- Run OVT: /usr/local/bin/ovt.sh
