Installation guide for experienced users
Some quick notes on how to install the program if the InstallerScript
does not work, or if additional things have to be done
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*** Overview ***
Due to some changes within the script, installation of the libraries
now can be done to any directory, so that these may be installed
separately to the system libraries.
Adding the superview-Library to the system would then be managed via
Assign LIBS: [PATH] ADD
somewhere in the User-Startup.
While the installation will be done automatically, this command will
not yet be added to the batchfile simultaneously.
You also should place an Assign for the virtual memory path there:
Assign VMEM: HD1:Somewhere
After installation, your LIBS: (or ADD-assigned) directory should look
like this:
(libs)
(svobjects) XXX.svobject
YYY.svobject
...
(svdrivers) AAA.svdriver
BBB.svdriver
...
(svoperators) 123.svoperator
456.svoperator
...
superview.library
superviewsupport.library
Note, that is is important, that the names of the single Libraries
are exactly the same as in the original archive (case-sensitivity).
If you copy "YUVN.svobject" as "yuvn.svobject" it will no longer
be recognized by the Library.
This is because the name is also hard-coded for identification and
since the corresponding functions are case-sensitive, there's a
need for such restrictions.
Also, some SVOBjects/SVOperators may need a (relatively) large
Stacksize, e.g. Dither24.svoperator.
When using it with only 4096 Bytes of Stack memory it'll sure crash.
Use at least 32768 Bytes with any program using the library.
*** Details ***
After you've performed the main installation procedure, you might
wish to do some more detailed configurations...
Usually, some ControlPad files for preferences settings on SVObjects,
SVDrivers, SVOperators or the library itself will be placed at the
location "ENV:superview-library/" during installation, depending on
your specified configuration (ECS, AGA, CyberGraphics, ...).
For a detailed list of available ControlPad files and settings you should
take a look at the corresponding doc-file "ControlPads" within this
directory.

There might be more or different things to be done in
the future!
