- This file explains how to transfer, compile and install RasMol v2.4 on
- your system. This version of the RasMol Molecular graphics package will
- run on UNIX, VMS, Machintosh and Microsoft Windows (OS/2 and Windows NT).
-
- [1] Obtaining RasMol v2.5
- =========================
-
- The current version of RasMol may be obtained by anonymous FTP from
- either ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk in the directory /pub/rasmol or from
- src.doc.ic.ac.uk in the directory /packages/rasmol. These sites are
- also mirrored at several other locations around the world. RasMol may
- also be obtained by electronic mail by sending the message "help software"
- to "netserv@embl-heidelberg.de". Follow the instructions provided by
- EMBL for unpacking the software from the e-mail messages.
-
- To transfer by anonymous ftp, type "ftp ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk" on the command
- line. Several seconds later you'll be prompted for a username. Use the
- username "anonymous" and when asked for a password enter your e-mail
- address. Once logged in, type the command "cd pub/rasmol" to change
- the directory to /pub/rasmol and then type "binary" to avoid corrupting
- the files during the transfer. For each file you wish to transfer, type
- "get <filename>" and when you've finished type "quit". If these files
- are subsequently transfered to other machines, please remember to
- transfer them in BINARY mode. The file sizes should be identical before
- and after the transfer.
-
- Depending upon the type of machine, you'll need to transfer one or more
- of the following files:
-
- RasMol2.tar.Z UNIX 'tar'ed 'compress'ed archive containing the
- complete source code and documentation of the
- RasMol molecular graphics package.
-
- RasMol2.tar.gz UNIX 'tar'ed 'gzip'ed archive containing the
- complete source code and documentation of the
- RasMol molecular graphics package.
-
- rasmac.sit.hqx Apple Machintosh 'BinHex' and 'StuffIt' archive
- of the RasMol source code including a 'fat'
- binary for both Machintosh and PowerMac.
-
- raswin.zip MS-DOS PkZip archive of the MS Windows version
- of the RasMol source code including a binary
- for MS Windows v3.1.
-
- rasmenu.zip MS-DOS PkZip archive of the Visual Basic Graphical
- User Interface to RasMol including executable.
-
-
- To unpack the file RasMol2.tar.Z on a UNIX machine type the command
- "uncompress RasMol2.tar.Z" and then the command "tar -xvf RasMol2.tar"
- to extract the files in a subdirectory under the current directory.
- Once the files have been sucessfully extract, you can delete the
- file RasMol2.tar with the command "rm RasMol2.tar".
-
- To unpack the file RasMol2.tar.gz on a UNIX machine, type "gunzip
- RasMol2.tar.gz" to use GNU gunzip to uncompress the files. Then
- follow the instructions above.
-
- To unpack the file rasmac.sit.hqx, start up the application "StuffIt
- Expander" and select the option "Exapnd" from the "File" menu. This
- should create the folder "RasMol2". You can then delete the files
- "rasmac.sit.hqx" and "rasmac.sit" by dragging their file icon and
- dropping them on the "trash".
-
- To unpack the files raswin.zip and rasmenu.zip, type the command
- "pkunzip -d raswin.zip" and "pkunzip -d rasmenu.zip". You must have
- version 2.04 or later of PKUNZIP.EXE
-
-
- [2] Compiling and Installing RasMol v2.5
- ========================================
-
- UNIX X11:
- ---------
- [1] Modify the contents of the Makefile to determine your local C compiler,
- compiler and linker options. The default set up is for an 8bit UNIX
- workstation with the X11 shared memory extension, compiled using the
- GNU C Compiler. Changing the line "CC=gcc" to "CC=cc" will use the
- machines native compiler but will require changing "CFLAGS" for your
- platform.
-
- RasMol may be built for E&S workstations using the command "make esv".
-
- Alternatively (or if the first method fails), type "xmkmf" to generate
- a Makefile for your particular system from the included Imakefile!
-
- A common problem is that SUN OpenWindows keeps its include files in the
- directory /usr/openwin/include/X11, hence the compiler directive
- -I/usr/openwin/include must be added to CFLAGS.
-
-
-
- [2] Modify the #defines in the file rasmol.h (see below)
- Note: IBMPC should not be defined.
- [3] Compile the program using the UNIX make utility. (i.e. type "make")
- [4] Place the 'rasmol' executable on the execution PATH, i.e. /usr/local/bin
- [5] Install rasmol.hlp as /usr/local/lib/rasmol/rasmol.hlp (or at a loctaion
- indicated by the environment variable RASMOLPATH).
- [6] If you have the UNIX utilities "uncompress" or "gunzip" ensure they are
- on the user's default PATH.
- [7] Set the environment variable RASMOLPDBPATH to the directory containing
- the Broohaven PDB database, if one exits.
- [8] Place any system wide initialisation parameters into the file "rasmolrc"
- in the directory pointed to by RASMOLPATH.
- [9] It is possible to set-up RASMOLPATH and RASMOLPDBPATH each time the
- program is running by renaming rasmol to rasmol.exe, and using a script
- similar to the one in "rasmol.sh" of the standard distribution.
- [10] If appropriate place "rasmol.1" or "rasmol.0" in the appropriate place
- for UNIX man pages, and optionally place "rasmol.html" somewhere in
- your WWW hierarchy (if available at your site).
-
-
- MS Windows v3.1:
- ----------------
- [1] Use Makefile.pc instead of Makefile, by copying it to MAKEFILE.
- [2] Modify the contents of the Makefile to determine your local C compiler,
- compiler and linker options.
- [3] Modify the #defines in the file rasmol.h (see below)
- Note: EIGHTBIT and IBMPC should all be defined
- APPLEMAC, DIALBOX, MITSHM and TERMIOS should not be defined.
- [4] Compile the program using the Microsoft Optimizing C Compiler Version
- 7's (or Microsoft Visual C++'s) NMAKE program under MS-DOS.
- [5] Copy both the executable RASWIN.EXE, RASMOL.HLP and RASWIN.HLP to an
- appropriate directory.
- [6] Install the program in MS Windows using the New option of the Program
- Manager's File Menu. Set the Description of the Program to "RasWin v2.5"
- and the Current Directory, to the directory containing the files.
- [7] Install the RasMol Help file using the New option of the Program
- Manager's File Menu. Set the Description to "RasWin Manual", the
- command to "C:\WINDOWS\WINHELP RASWIN.HLP" and the working directory
- to the appropriate directory.
-
- MS Windows NT:
- --------------
- [1] Use Makefile.nt instead of Makefile, by copying it to MAKEFILE.
- [2] Follow the instructions from [2] onwards as for MS Windows v3.1.
-
-
- Machintosh and PowerMac
- -----------------------
- [1] Create a project in either the Symmantec C/C++, Think C or Metrowerks
- C compiler environments and add all the C source files ("*.c") to
- the project. On 68k development systems all C files should be placed
- in separate segments [however rasmac.c and applemac.c can share a
- segment and abstree.c and command.c can share a segment].
- [2] Add the "rasmac.rsrc" resource file to the project.
- [3] For the Symantec/Think C environment add the "ANSI" library from
- "Standard Libraries" directory and the "MacTraps" library from the
- "Mac Libraries Directory".
- [4] For the Metrowerks 68K Compiler add the libraries "MacOS.lib" and
- "ANSI (2i) C.68K.Lib" to the project. [Note: If compiling for 4byte
- integer size and/or 68881 maths instructions select the approriate
- ANSI C Library].
- [5] For the Metrowerks PPC Compiler add the libraries "MWCRuntime.Lib",
- "InterfaceLib", "MathLib" and "ANSI C.PPC.Lib".
- [6] In Metrowerk's "Edit" "Preferences" "Project" or Symmantec's "Project"
- "Set Project Type", set the project type to Application (Type 'APPL'),
- Creator 'RSML', and the SIZE flags to include "is32bitCompatible",
- "isHighLevelEventAware", "localAndRemoteHLEvents".
- [7] Modify the #defines in the file "rasmol.h" (see below).
- Note: APPLEMAC should all be defined
- IBMPC, DIALBOX, MITSHM and TERMIOS should not be defined.
- [8] Compile RasMol using the "Build Application..." Menu Item.
- [9] To create a `fat' binary, use Apple's ResEdit to copy and paste the
- CODE, DATA and XREF resources from the Metrowerks 68K executable
- into the resource fork of the Metrowerks PPC executable.
- [10] The Installed Application's name should be "RasMac v2.5"
-
-
- VAX/VMS
- -------
- [1] Modify the #defines in the file rasmol.h (see below)
- Note: IBMPC, MITSHM and TERMIOS should not be defined.
- [2] Copy all the files from the "vms" directory to the source directory.
- [2] If your VAX site has an MMS license type the command "MMS",
- otherwise use the DCL build script by typing "@build.com"
- [3] The program may be run by typing "RUN RASMOL.EXE", the X Windows
- server is specified by a VMS command of the form:
- SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE=<hostname>
- [4] The symbol should be defined the the path of RASMOL.EXE using :==
- [5] The file rasmol.vms contains a ascii VMS help file that can
- be compiled in to the VMS on-line help system.
-
-

-
- COMPILATION DIRECTIVES
- ======================
-
- The file rasmol.h contains a number of #define directives that control
- the runtime behaviour of the program. The following directives may be
- defined or undefined to suite the local site.
-
- THIRTYTWOBIT
- EIGHTBIT This determines whether RasMol will display and produce
- 8bit or 32(24) bit output. By default this symbol is defined
- producing images with up to 256 colours. This symbol must
- be defined if IBMPC is defined.
-
- DIALBOX This enables the use of a dials box, that is connected
- using the X Window System XInput extension. This option
- requires that the program be compiled with the Xi and
- Xext libraries. Note: libXi is called libXinput on some old
- machines, so requires the compiler option -lXinput!
-
- MITSHM This option enables the use of the X Window System MIT shared
- memory extension. This enables images to be displayed faster
- when RasMol and the X11 server are running on the same host.
- This option requires the program be compiled with the Xext
- library. This is now enabled by default. This should be
- disabled on IBM RS/6000 and E&S ESV workstations as MITSHM
- support is not provided as standard.
-
- TERMIOS This directive enables the command line processing on UNIXs
- that support the termios terminal handling routines. By
- leaving this symbol undefined, RasMol omits the interactive
- command line interface. Undefining is not recommended!
-
- APPLEMAC This determines whether the program is to run on an Apple
- Machintosh or PowerMac. By default, this option is disabled.
- The Machintosh code may be compiled to be either EIGHTTBIT
- or THIRTYTWOBIT and will generate images effectively.
-
- IBMPC This determines whether the program is intended to run on an
- IBM PC or compatible under MS Windows. By default, this
- option is disabled. If this option is defined the options
- EIGHTBIT and INVERT must be defined, and TERMIOS undefined.
-

- A typical UNIX build:
- /* define IBMPC */
- /* define APPLEMAC */
- /* define DIALBOX */
- #define TERMIOS
