The following directories will be created:
- cd PARENT-DIR
- (where PARENT-DIR is parent for desired location of WEB)
- mkdir web
- (creates a new sub-directory for WEB, hereafter referred to as WEB_DIR)
- For tape:
- tar xvf "your_tape_device" web
- For CDROM:
- cp -r /CDROM/web/* web
- (assumes your CD_ROM is mounted at /CDROM)
Web | processor | Irix | |
---|---|---|---|
------ | -------------------- | ---- | |
web4 | R5000,R8000,R10000 | 6.2 | |
web3 | R4*** | 6.2 | |
web2 | R4*** up | 5.3 |
Sorry this is so complex but it is due to SGI's command set changes.
If you are confused which Web to use I suggest you just start at the top
of the above list and use the first executable that successfully runs
on your machine. It should be optimal.
In the following commands substitute the desired WEB
version (2, 3 or 4) for the "?". Use the following
commands to start WEB:
If the executable binary does not run proceed with next step.
- cd WEB_DIR
web?
cd WEB_DIRIf the executable from the above step does not run proceed with next step:
mv web? web?_orig
make -f Makefile?
cd WEB_DIRIf the make operation fails or the new executable does not run, and you are on a SGI computer contact us at the address below.
mv web?.a web?_orig.a
make -f Makefile?
Note: the archive (ar) command in the Makefile will
use a lot of space in your TMPDIR. If you get a message
about no space being left on your device I suggest you
redefine TMPDIR to a directory that has space (e.g.):
setenv TMPDIR /usr/tmp
alias web WEB_DIR/web?Alternatively, you can modify your path so that your your system can locate the executable file when you type "web". To alter your path add the following to the PATH environmental variable in your startup file:
WEB_DIRthen rename the web? executable in WEB_DIR to: web.
setenv SPRGB_DIR "YOUR_RGB_FILE_DIR/"
setenv WEBMAN_DIR "WEB_DIR/docs"
Sample color look-up-tables are provided in the rgb sub-directory of web.
You may need the following for run-time libraries if you use the
web3 or web4:
setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib32/X11
webFurther information on the use of WEB is given in the web manual.
