POV-Ray 3.7 for PC-Linux, binary version (povlinux.tgz) - README file
|
|
|
|
For the binary distribution for PC-Linux
|
|
===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
This is the README file for the compiled version of POV-Ray 3.7 for
|
|
PC-Linux. Platform specific instructions for POV-Ray can be found in
|
|
README.unix and in chapter 1 of the documentation.
|
|
|
|
This package contains a statically linked version of POV-Ray 3.7
|
|
compiled for the i586 platform. The install script can do both
|
|
system wide installation (requires root privileges) as well as user
|
|
level installation. Installation as root is the recommended method.
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
Installation procedure
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
a) Install as root
|
|
|
|
From the directory where this file resides, run:
|
|
|
|
$ su
|
|
# ./install
|
|
|
|
and follow the instructions.
|
|
|
|
b) Install as non-privileged user
|
|
|
|
From the directory where this file resides, run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./install
|
|
|
|
and select 'U' to start a user level install. Afterwards
|
|
follow the instructions of the install script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional command line options that can be used are:
|
|
|
|
--no-arch-check : skip the architecture compatibility test
|
|
kde : only install kde panel icons and file types for current
|
|
user. In a single user installation this is done
|
|
automatically after installation.
|
|
user : only update the user povray.ini/povray.conf file when
|
|
required.
|
|
uninstall : uninstall POV-Ray. This will remove all installed
|
|
files. Any changes made to sample scenes or include
|
|
files will get lost. This has to be called by the
|
|
same user who installed POV-Ray. Uninstall of older
|
|
versions of POV-Ray is not supported (and is not
|
|
required to install POV-Ray 3.6).
|
|
test : run a short test render to check if installation was
|
|
successful. This should be run as a normal user and
|
|
not as root.
