Quick installation instructions
Here are the instructions for downloading Ptolemy0.7. If you
are already familiar with Ptolemy, you might be able to get by
with these quick instructions. If you are new to Ptolemy, you
may want to look over the Detailed Instructions below.
Common download configurations
The Ptolemy distribution consists of several different GNU zipped tar
files that can be mixed or matched. Below are several common sets of files.
For a description of what is in the tar files, and what you need
to run Ptolemy, see the description of
the Ptolemy0.7 tar files below.
Note that you must down load the src
tar file to run
prebuilt binaries. The src
tar file contains files that
are used at runtime.
The Ptolemy group provides binaries for Solaris2.5.1, SunOS4.1.3 and
HPUX10.20. Below are downloads for binaries that were contributed by
others, or built by the Ptolemy group, but not tested thoroughly.
Note that you must download the src
tar file to use
prebuilt binaries.
In alphabetical order by operating system
Sources to build everything from scratch on non-HP platforms:
src
(14.4 Mb) -
other.src
(7.5 Mb) -
gnu
(10.7 Mb) -
Sources to build everything from scratch on an HPUX10.20 platform:
src
(14.4 Mb) -
other.src
(7.5 Mb) -
gnu.hppa.src
(14.5 Mb)
Building From Scratch
- To rebuild from scratch, grab the following tar
files:
src
(14.4 Mb),
other.src
(7.5 Mb),
- If you don't have gcc-2.7.2 and libg++-2.7.1 and GNU make, and
are on anything other than the HP, grab
gnu
(9.8Mb)
(This file includes bison-1.24
and
flex-2.5.2
). If you are on the HP, then you will
want to grab gnu.hppa.src
(14.5 Mb),
which includes everything in the gnu
file in
addition to binutils-2.6
.
- Gunzip and untar the files. If you are on anything but a HP,
you will need around 400 Mb to build GNU, tcltk, octtools and
ptolemy. If you are short on space, see the Disk Space section below.
- Set your
PTOLEMY
variable, your PTARCH
variable, and your path. You could source ptolemy/.cshrc
or place the following in your .cshrc
setenv PTOLEMY /your/ptolemy
setenv PTARCH `/your/ptolemy/bin/ptarch`
set path = ($PTOLEMY/bin.$PTARCH $PTOLEMY/bin $path)
Where /your/ptolemy
is the location of the Ptolemy tree.
You need to have $PTOLEMY/bin
so you can find
genStarTable
which is used to create files like
sdf/stars/sdfstars.c
In 0.7, we've renamed ARCH
to
PTARCH
so we don't conflict with other packages.
If you will be building the GNU tools under Solaris, you
need to have /usr/bin
in your path before
/usr/ucb
, see $PTOLEMY/src/gnu/README
- If you have the GNU tools installed, then do:
cd $PTOLEMY; make everything >& log.out &
Note that GNU make should be in your path as make
.
- If you do not have the GNU tools installed, then you should
read
$PTOLEMY/src/gnu/README
and then do:
cd $PTOLEMY; make bootstrap >& log.out &
- If you are planning on building tar files for shipping, you might
want to check out
pt0.7.builddist.tar.gz
which contains a makefile and Gnu tar exclusion files that we use
here at UC Berkeley to create distributions. These files are
very rough, but might be of use.
Below is amplification of the quick and dirty instructions above.
For the complete installation documentation, see
Appendix A of
the Ptolemy User's Manual.
The Ptolemy0.7 release includes the Appendix A in
html format at $PTOLEMY/doc/html
.
You can obtain the tar files either from this web page, or
by using anonymous ftp to
ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
. The files are in
pub/ptolemy/ptolemy0.7
.
Below is a description of the
Ptolemy0.7 source tar files.
Ptolemy requires the X window system. Ptolemy relies on a subset of
the GNU tools, such as GNU make and gcc/libg++. The binaries for the
GNU tools on some architectures are supplied as a separate compressed
tar file. It is possible to build Ptolemy with non-GNU compilers.
Ptolemy includes the Tycho system. Tycho is a graphical front end
that uses Itcl. Tycho can use Java and the TclJava interface, but
Java is not yet required to run Tycho or Ptolemy. (The TclJava Interface
is available separately from Ptolemy and Tycho).
The Tycho/Java interface is built on top of the TclJava
interface. The Tycho/Java interface uses the Reflect class, which is
only available in JDK1.1 and later. As of 5/22/97, JDK1.1.1 was
available from
www.javasoft.com
for Solaris2.x on Sparc and x86 and for Windows96/NT.
On 6/2/97, HP released a JDK1.1.2 (1.1.2 Java technology plus the
Just-In-Time compiler) which is available from
http://hpcc920.external.hp.com/gsyinternet/hpjdk/main.html
The 0.7 src
file is about 14.4 Mb gzipped.
The 0.7 other.src
file is about 7.5 Mb gzipped.
The other.src
file includes octtools, Itcl2.2 and xv
sources. Itcl2.2 includes Tcl7.6/Tk4.2. Ptolemy0.7 requires Itcl2.2
for Tycho, which is used to view files, manage dialog boxes and
other tasks.
The 0.7 oct.src
file is about 2.1 Mb gzipped.
The oct.src
file includes only the octtools sources.
This file has not been tested extensively. If you already have Itcl2.2
and xv, then you can download oct.src
instead of
other.src
The 0.7 gnu
sources is about 10.7 Mb gzipped.
The 0.7 gnu tar file includes gcc-2.7.2 and libg++-2.7.2. If you
can build gcc and libg++ with shared libraries, then
incremental linking may work better for you.
sol2.5
and hppa
are the two
architectures that have been built with shared libraries in
house.
You can use your own gcc-2.7.2/libg++-2.7.2, but Ptolemy requires
that libg++ was build with --enable-shared. For instructions on rebuilding your GNU installation, see.
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemy0.7/html/g++shared.txt
.
If you download the 0.7 gnu sources, then you can install the
GNU tools by typing:
cd $PTOLEMY
make install_gnu
The 0.7 gnu.hppa.src
sources is about 14.5 Mb gzipped. gnu.hppa.src
differs from gnu
in that
gnu.hppa.src
contains GNU binutils so that we
build gas
for use on the hppa.
Under Solaris2.5.1, untarring the src
,
sol2.5
and gnu.sol2.5
tar files took up about
139 Mb of space. Of that 139 Mb, 24.4 Mb were consumed by the
GNU binaries, and 23.4 Mb were taken up by itcl2.0 and tcltk.
In a test build of the 0.7 release on a
Solaris2.5.1 machine building from src
,
other.src
and gnu
, the total amount
of disk space used was 392 Mb. If you build in stages and
delete obj.$PTARCH/gnu
(81.6 Mb),
obj.$PTARCH/tcltk
(25.6 Mb) and
obj.$PTARCH/octtools
(11.3 Mb) as you go, then you
should be able to get by with less space (approx 273 Mb). If
need be, you can remove src/gnu
(56 Mb),
src/tcltk
(11 Mb) and
src/octtools
(9.5 Mb) after you have installed each
of them.
To free up space, you may want to remove the following:
$PTOLEMY/src/domains/sdf/demo/ppimage
(~1020
Kb). This file is used by some of the image processing demos.
