9 <h1>Installing VLP - Virtual Loglan Processor<br>
11 <h2>Pre-requisite:</h2>
12 Prior to compile and run Virtual LOGLAN Processor you should install
13 the QT library <font color="#cc0000">qt-1.45</font>.(You may consult the
14 file "inst/LICENSE.QT" for more informations about the QT. <br>
15 If your system does not contain the library qt-1.45 (nowadays most systems
16 contains a newer, yet incompatible version of qt library)<br>
18 <font color="#000099">installQT.html</font> <br>
19 and follow the instructions contained there.<br>
23 <h2>Installation:</h2>
25 <li>Create an empty directory e.g. <br>
26 /usr/local/vlp.build</li>
28 vlp26.tgz<br>
29 in this directory.</li>
30 <li>Extract the files executing e.g<br>
31 gunzip vlp26.tgz<br>
32 tar -xvf vlp26.tar</li>
33 <li> First, you MUST edit the file "<font color="#990000">Dir</font>"
34 and set the proper directories: <br>
35 QINC - directory where the QT library includes are stored, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/include<br>
36 QLIB - directory where you have your QT library, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/lib<br>
37 MOCDIR - QT library has a special compiler named "moc", write
38 the directory where this compiler is stored, usually, /usr/lib/qt-1.45/bin<br>
39 INSTALLDIR - directory where the Virtual LOGLAN Processor will be
41 /usr/local/vlp.</li>
42 <li> Next, run the following:<br>
43 <font color="#cc0000">./configure</font> <br>
44 to configure source files, </li>
46 <font color="#cc0000">make </font> <br>
47 to build VLP and </li>
49 <font color="#cc0000">make install </font> <br>
50 to install Virtual LOGLAN Processor.</li>
51 <li>Now you should configure your "vlp.cfg" file which is stored in the
52 instalation directory. <br>
53 Assure that the variable node_number has different value on each computer
54 you installed VLP. <br>
55 This is <i>required</i> to identify the nodes of virtual distributed Loglan
56 multiprocessor. </li>
57 <li>WARNING! Variable "homedir" should point to the directory where you
58 have program "logker" installed. This MUST be a full path !!!<br>
60 /usr/local/vlp</li>
61 <li>If everything went smoothly and your VLP works correctly you may wish
62 to delete the directory <br>
63 /usr/local/vlp.build<br>
