Obtaining EUHEDRAL

• euhedral-1.10.tar (1.5 MB)
• euhedral-1.10.tar.Z (0.4 MB)
• euhedral-1.10.tar.gz (0.2 MB)

Installing EUHEDRAL

1. Copy the file euhedral-1.10.tar into an empty directory, for example /usr/local/src/euhedral
   
2. Untar the file with the command tar -xvf euhedral-1.10.tar
   
3. Edit the Makefile and (un)comment the lines for your operating system.
   
4. Compile the source code by typing make all (See note 1)
5. Create with your editor a file /usr/local/bin/euhedral (or somewhere else in your searchpath). This file should contain two lines:
   

      #!/bin/sh
      exec /usr/local/src/euhedral/euhedral "$@"
   

6. Make this file executable: chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/euhedral
7. You should now be able to use the "command-line" version of euhedral.

Installing EUHEDRALGUI

1. Copy the file euhedral.tcl into a directory, for example /usr/local/src/euhedral
2. Create with your editor a file /usr/local/bin/euhedralgui. (or somewhere else in your searchpath). This file should contain two lines:
   

    #!/bin/sh
    exec /usr/local/src/euhedral/euhedral.tcl "$*"
   

3. Make this file executable: chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/euhedralgui
   
4. You should now be able to use the "GUI" version of euhedral.
   Note: not all commands of the "command-line" version are available in the GUI. But the most important commands should be there.

Notes

1. Compilation warning
   On some Linux systems, you will see a warning:

   g77 -O2 -DUNIX euhedral.o libccd.o libwin.o librtl.o libc.o winx.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o euhedral /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.3/libg2c.a(open.o): In function `f_open': open.o(.text+0x4da): the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'

   This warning is caused by the g77 compiler and will hopefully be fixed in future versions of g77. It will not influence the functionality of EUHEDRAL.
