Introduction
============
DTED Converter is an Open Source program which converts Digital Terrain
Elevation Data from one Level to another. Conversions to a higher accuracy data
level from a lower level are made by interpolating the grid of elevations from
the original data and as such are not perfect. The idea of the program is to
enable users to convert free DTED Level 1 data for use with programs which
require DTED Level 2 data.
This is the DTED Converter README file. It includes simple build instructions,
user community references, other information for DTED Converter development, and
a manifest of the source code layout.
Obtaining DTED Converter
========================
DTED Converter Main Site: http://dtedconverter.sf.net
DTED Converter Project Site: http://sf.net/projects/dtedconverter
The main DTED Converter website provides access to almost all of the resources
available for DTED Converter, including links to downloading source
distributions and Microsoft Windows binary files.
DTED Converter is also available directly from SVN. To obtain DTED Converter
from SVN, it is expected that you have a basic understanding of software
development. Active development is on SVN trunk and stable releases are archived
in SVN releases. If you wish to download the SVN repository, anonymous access is
provided at:
https://dtedconverter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dtedconverter
Compiling and Installation
==========================
To compile DTED Converter, provided prerequisits are installed, the following
steps should suffice:
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
dtedconverter
If configure detected everything it needed to build DTED Converter, the
executable will be in src/ as 'dtedconverter'. The program can be run directly
from this folder, though typically you will want to run 'sudo make install' to
install DTED Converter properly for your system.
If you're building on a platform that has a README.* file, you should consult
that file as they contain additional instructions and details specific for
building on that platform.
