Celestia Install instructions for UNIX
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You need to have the following components installed before Celestia
|
||||
will build: OpenGL (tested with Mesa 3.4), glut, libjpeg, and libpng.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, assuming you've collected all the necessary libraries, here's
|
||||
what you need to do to build and run Celestia:
|
||||
|
||||
configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
cp src/celestia .
|
||||
./celestia
|
||||
|
||||
The cp command should really be automatic, but I'm not quite there yet. It's
|
||||
very important run Celestia from the base directory in which it was unpacked;
|
||||
otherwise, it won't find the configuration and data files.
|
||||
|
||||
This README included with this release is for the Windows version. Not
|
||||
every feature of the Window version of Celestia is supported yet. There are
|
||||
there are no menus right now, no mouse wheel support, and the arrow keys are
|
||||
currently not working. The only UNIX system I have available right now
|
||||
is a P2-266 with RedHat 6.1 and no hardware 3D acceleration, which means that
|
||||
Celestia is a slide show. It's not too bad when there's nothing visible except
|
||||
a star field, but once you get close to a planet or enable galaxies,
|
||||
performance goes down the tubes. I'm very interested in reports from users
|
||||
with hardware acceleration.
