- Installation guide for experienced users
-
- Some quick notes on how to install the program if the InstallerScript
- does not work, or if additional things have to be done
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- *** Overview ***
-
- Due to some changes within the script, installation of the libraries
- now can be done to any directory, so that these may be installed
- separately to the system libraries.
- Adding the superview-Library to the system would then be managed via
-
- Assign LIBS: [PATH] ADD
-
- somewhere in the User-Startup.
- While the installation will be done automatically, this command will
- not yet be added to the batchfile simultaneously.
-
- The installer script also adds an Assign for a virtual memory path there,
- which defaults to "T:". Since "T:" should not be placed in a RAM-Disk
- - a small and empty partition used for such purposes only, would be
- the best solution - you may wish to change this:
-
- Assign VMEM: [Somewhere]
-
- After installation, your LIBS: (or ADD-assigned) directory should look
- like this:
-
- (libs)
- (svobjects) XXX.svobject
- YYY.svobject
- ...
- (svdrivers) AAA.svdriver
- BBB.svdriver
- ...
- (svoperators) 123.svoperator
- 456.svoperator
- ...
- superview.library
- superviewsupport.library
-
-
- Note, that is is important, that the names of the single Libraries
- are exactly the same as in the original archive (case-sensitivity).
- If you copy "YUVN.svobject" as "yuvn.svobject" it will no longer
- be recognized by the Library.
- This is because the name is also hard-coded for identification and
- since the corresponding functions are case-sensitive, there's a
- need for such restrictions.
-
- Also, some SVObjects/SVOperators may need a (relatively) large
- stacksize, e.g. Dither24.svoperator.
- When using it with only 4096 bytes of stack memory it'll surely crash.
- Use at least 32768 bytes with any program using the library.
-
- *** Details ***
-
- After you've performed the main installation procedure, you might
- wish to do some more detailed configurations...
- Usually, some ControlPad files for preferences settings on SVObjects,
- SVDrivers, SVOperators or the library itself will be placed at the
- location "ENV:superview-library/" during installation, depending on
- your specified configuration (ECS, AGA, CyberGraphics, ...).
-
- For a detailed list of available ControlPad files and settings you should
- take a look at the corresponding doc-file "ControlPads" within this
- directory.

- There might be more or different things to be done in
- the future!
