Compiling Until

This document assumes that you have successfully compiled the Psys libraries. This document also assumes that you have uncompressed and untarred the Until file, and installed it in the chipmunk directory. Note that Until has not been ported to OS/2.

Begin by descending to the until/V1.2 directory. Edit the file Makefile, and make any necessary changes. Comments in the Makefile will guide you through these changes; the changes are labeled with the markers (1), (2), (3), etc. Once these changes are made, execute the command

make install

If things are working correctly, a long series of compilations, linkings, and file movements should occur without error. This will create the program chipmunk/bin/until.

To do a basic functional test of Until, execute the following command in the until/V1.2 directory:

./until welcome

Two windows should appear, mylib and newcrt. The mylib window should a welcoming message which is a figure made in Until. To leave the program, press q. To learn more about using until, see the user documentation.

If you have problems compiling or using Until, I'd be happy to offer suggestions; press here for more information about asking for help.
