- 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 ***
-
- You do not need to install the libraries to LIBS: itself.
- For example you may create an additional LIBS-Dir somewhere else
- (let's say "HD1:libs") then start the Installer and after that open
- a shell. Then type something like:
-
- Assign LIBS: HD1:LIBS ADD
- Assign LIBS: SYS:LIBS REMOVE
-
- and install superview.library with the Installer.
- After that type again
-
- Assign LIBS: SYS:LIBS ADD
-
- and add an entry like
-
- Assign LIBS: HD1:LIBS ADD
-
- to your User-Startup.
- You also should place an Assign for the virtual memory path there :
-
- Assign VMEM: HD1:Somewhere
-
-
- After installation, your LIBS: directory should look similar to 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, configuration files (ControlPads) for SVObjects, SVDrivers,
- SVOperators or the library itself are placed at the location
- "ENV:superview-library/".
- Note, that all ControlPad-entries are currently CASE-SENSITIVE.
-
- Name: LIBRARY.controlpad
- Subject: superview.library
- Suggested: DEFAULTSVDRIVER=ECS.svdriver
- or DEFAULTSVDRIVER=AGA.svdriver
- or ...
- Why: set it according to your machine's OS/chipset capabilities
-
- Name: AGA.controlpad
- Subject: AGA.svdriver
- Suggested: 24BITOPERATOR=24BitToHAM
- Why: dithers 24 Bit graphics to HAM6/8 (quick/well)
- (alternatively set "Dither24Bit", which can
- be used to create 2..256 Color output).
-
- Name: JPEG.controlpad
- Subject: JPEG.svobject
- Suggested: COLORDEPTH=8
- Why: dithers JPEG graphics to 256 Colors while reading
-
- Name: SVO.controlpad
- Subject: SVO.svobject
- Suggested: PACKMETHOD=NUKE
- Why: packs output with NUKE (or whatever you wish)
-
- Also: When selecting the appropriate SVDriver for your system,
- please note, that "ECS" and "AGA" only refer to the original
- Amiga chipsets and OS versions. Usually owners of an ECS Amiga
- with GfxCard may - and should - use AGA.svdriver as well!
