I don't have enough disk space at my current ISP to host the distribution
myself, so I am using some of the popular archive sites for Linux
software. I will be distributing avdbtools in compressed tar format
as well as Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) format. You should be able to
get the distribution by anonymous ftp from the sites listed below. If the
files are not there, check the respective Incoming
directories.
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/aviation/
This software was developed and tested under Red Hat Linux, release 4.2. The requirements are relatively modest, you should be able to build and use this software under most any UNIX like environment with an Ansi C compiler (such as the Free Software Foundation's gcc compiler), a make utility, and the Bourne shell.
To build faaconv, follow these easy steps;
Makefile
and change the macros that are related
to specification of the environment, assigning values appropriate to your
situation. The only macros you should need to edit are; CC
to specify your C compiler, and BINDIR
, DOCDIR
,
LIBDIR
, MANDIR
to specify the directories where the
executable, documentation, model coefficients, and man page, respectively,
are to be installed."make"
to build the executable."make install"
to install the executable in
BINDIR
, and the model coefficients in LIBDIR
."make install-man"
to install the man page in
MANDIR
and the user's guide in DOCDIR
.This user's guide and the man page can be found in the doc
subdirectory of the source distribution tree. Both are written
in SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) format. The SGML format
documents are translatable into other useful and popular formats such
as LaTeX (and dvi, postscript from there), as well as standard HTML.
The converted formats are up to date with respect to the SGML versions
when distributed. If you make changes to the master SGML format documents,
you will need the Linuxdoc-SGML formatting system to update the other
formats. It is available from
ftp://ftp.cc.gatech.edu/pub/people/gregh/linuxdoc-sgml/
