SLACKWARE 12.0

In order to install IPLT on a Slackware system, some preparartory work is needed.

1) A package for "slapt-get" should be downloaded from this webpage:

http://software.jaos.org/#slapt-get

and installed using the "pkgtool" program. Information on how to use "pkgtool" can be found on the following page:

http://www.slackbook.org/html/package-management-package-utilities.html

2) The configuration file for "slapt-get" needs to be modified. Root privileges are needed for this.

Edit the file:

    /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc

Add the following line to the configuration file:

    SOURCE=http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slackware-12.0

3) Update your system by running (with root privileges):

   slapt-get --update

followed by:

   slapt-get --updgrade

Notice that you will be prompted from time to time to confirm the update operations

4) Install the following packages using the command:

   slapt-get --install <package name>

(Again with root privileges)

• boost
• python
• scons
• wxwidgets-2.8.4.unicode-i486-1sl (You have to use the full name. Using simply "wxwidgets" will install the wrong package)
• wxpython
• libtiff
• libpng
• doxygen
• gsl
• xerces-c

5) You can now proceed with the normal subversion checkout

6) Before starting the compilation, you need to create and edit the 'setting' file

In the main iplt directory type:

    cp settings.py.tmpl setting.py

Using you favourite editor, change in the 'settings.py' file the line that begins with:

    #BOOST_LIBS_SUFFIX ...

To:

    BOOST_LIBS_SUFFIX = "-gcc41"

7) The compilation can then be started using the command:

   scons -u
