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.
There are two versions of Celestia which can be built--the default version
uses GLUT and has no GUI. The other version uses Gtk+ to provide a basic
menu bar similar to the one in Celestia for Windows. To build Celestia with
Gtk+ support, run configure with --enable-gtk:
configure --enable-gtk
The GtkGLArea widget is required in order build Celestia with Gtk+. It can
be downloaded from http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/
