- How to install and run the powerUP (TM) port of IRIT
- ----------------------------------------------------
-
- First, you have to setup the generic IRIT environment.
- For that, install all the irit70#? archives from
- Aminet:gfx/3d *except* the one for PPC.
-
- Then grab the PPC archive and:
-
- 1. Set the env variable IRIT_PATH to "bin" directory
- 2. Copy ELF modules over the regular directory,
- i.e. copy the "bin" dir of the PPC archive over
- the "bin" dir with the 68k programs.
- (Copy all or only the ones you'd like to have
- installed, i.e. if the 68k version of 'xy' runs
- more stable, then don't replace it with the
- ELF version.)
- 3. Add "e" protection bit to all files in bin,
- since otherwise you won't be able to run them
- (go into the "bin" dir, then type "Protect #? +e")
- 4. Run ppc.library's LoadSeg patch
- 5. Start using IRIT for powerUP (TM), e.g. as below
-
- Then try one of the programs, for example:
-
- IRENDER
- -------
- 1. runelf bin/irender -i ppm irender/marbglas.dat >T:ppm.pic
- 2. Try displaying the ppm.pic with an image viewer
-
-
- AMIDRVS
- -------
- 1. Start a screen promotion program - if not already running
- (this is because the cybergfx screenmode requester code
- had to be disabled in "amidrvs", so you have to promote
- the screen manually)
- 2. Start "amidrvs" with a given data file, e.g.
-
- runelf bin/amidrvs data/sphere16.dat
