INSTALLING THE BINARY VERSION OF OSW FOR LINUX 0. INSTALL THE OSW DISTRIBUTION If you have not already done so, unpack your OSW distribution into a directory of your choice (e.g., we recommend "/usr/local/lib/osw"). Copy the distribution to the directory, and type the following: gzcat osw-x.xx.sgi.tar.gz | tar -xf - Where "x.xx" is the version number of your distribution. 1. INSTALLING TCL/TK If you do not already have Tcl/Tk 8.3 and Itcl installed, please do so now. SGI maintains ready-to-install binaries of Tcl/Tk, but unfortunately they are only up to version 8.0.4. So you will have to compile these yourself. You can get the source from osw.sourceforge.net: proceed to the download area and select "SGI." Download the following files: tcl8.3.2.tar.gz tk8.3.2.tar.gz itcl3.2.tar.gz Unpack these distributions in a directory of your choice (e.g., /usr/local/src). Proceed to the tcl8.3.2 directory and follow the build instructions. Then do the same in tk8.3.2, followed by itcl3.2. 2. INSTALL.SH Once Tcl/Tk and Itcl are installed, return to the installation directory and type "cd osw" to enter the OSW subdirectory. To complete the installation, type install.sh This will create a command "osw" that you can use to start the program. 3. START PLAYING That's it. You should be ready to start using OSW now. Have fun!
