If you want the manual, or a "how to use" for this program, See the web
page for the latest documentation, at http://threedepict.sourceforge.net.
Most users should obtain a "binary" version from the website. If you are
trying to build from source, the webpage is recommended, but otherwise,
install the required dependencies (see website for more details) and then,
from the command-line run:
./configure
make
make install
to build the default-mode (single-threaded, debug on ) program.
Interesting configure flags (see "./configure --help" for more options):
--enable-openmp-parallel : Enable multi-CPU mode (for multi-CPU sections
of the program) via the "openMP" framework
--disable-debug-checks : Disable debug checks. This makes the program
much faster, but less likely to catch
program bugs
--disable-ubsan : Disable undefined behaviour santiser. Makes the program
go faster, but undefined program behaviour (bugs)
will not be as readily detected
--enable-experimental-cpp11 : Enables experimental C++11 support.
Some Dependencies:
libxml2
qhull
gsl
ftgl
mathgl
libpng
wxwidgets
gettext
vigra
Remember, for dependencies under linux platforms you must install
the -dev, or -devel packages, in order to allow compilation
For those with no idea how to install the dependencies, you can
*try* running the "getDeps.sh" script in the packaging/deps/
folder, but it is not guaranteed to work on your system.
For those under Windows, we recommend to install a different
OS (eg debian, ubuntu - maybe in a Virtual machine) then
"cross-compile". This is not trivial, but you can look at the
deps/mingw-debian-cross/bootstrap.sh script as a starting point.
