Celestia Install instructions for UNIX
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You need to have the following components installed before Celestia
|
|
will build: OpenGL (tested with Mesa 3.4), glu, glut, libjpeg, and libpng.
|
|
Should you have a package based installation (most Linux distributions these
|
|
days are), you will also need to install the devel packages for your OpenGL,
|
|
glu, glut and glibc packages.
|
|
|
|
OK, assuming you've collected all the necessary libraries, here's
|
|
what you need to do to build and run Celestia:
|
|
|
|
configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Celestia can be built with or without support for Gtk, by default the Gtk+
|
|
version will be built if you have Gtk+ and GtkGLArea available, otherwise it
|
|
just uses GLUT and has no GUI. If you need/want to build the non-Gtk+ version
|
|
even though you have Gtk+ and GtkGLArea, run configure with --without-gtk:
|
|
|
|
configure --without-gtk
|
|
|
|
The GtkGLArea widget that is required in order to build Celestia with Gtk+ may
|
|
be downloaded from http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/ . Note that
|
|
depending in your Installation Distributions you may also need other packages
|
|
containing various information needed by the build process, for instance, to
|
|
build under SUSE Linux, you will also need to have the gtk-devel package
|
|
installed, and having GNOME's devel packages present also is probably not
|
|
a bad idea (in fact, currently absolutely necessary for the GTK version).
|
|
|
|
Celestia will be installed into /usr/local by default, with data files landing
|
|
in /usr/local/share/Celestia , but you may specify a new location with the
|
|
--prefix option to configure:
|
|
|
|
configure --prefix=/home/my_directory
|
|
|
|
All the other usual configure parameters apply; you may see which options
|
|
are available using 'configure --help'
|
|
|
|
If while running configure you see an error reporting that gl.h,
|
|
is missing, you either don't have OpenGL installed on your system,
|
|
or you don't have the corresponding devel package installed. If for
|
|
instance you have Mesa installed, you will also have to install the
|
|
mesa-devel package (or something named similarly). Missing glu.h or glut.h
|
|
means that you don't have GLU, GLUT, or their devel pacakges installed.
