Quick installation instructions
Here are the instructions for downloading Ptolemy0.6. 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.
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 Solaris2.4, SunOS4.1.3 and
HPUX10.01. 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.
Building From Scratch
- To rebuild from scratch, grab the following tar
files:
src (9.3 Mb),
other.src (5.9 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 (13.9 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 392 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 0.6, 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 &
Below is amplification of the quick and dirty instructions above.

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/ptolemy0.6.
Below is a description of the Ptolemy0.6 source tar files:
Under Solaris2.4, untarring the src,
sol2 and gnu.sol2 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 0.6 release on a
Solaris2.4 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:
