Thu Apr 14 15:10:04 EDT 2016

  NOTE:

      see  http://sourceforge.net/projects/rayshade/files/rayshade-4.0.7.tar.gz

      rayshade-4.0.7 now builds using automake and libc6 i386 bin is available

  for urt-3.0 still do the below (havent see a build issue with it yet)

  ---------------------------

  This is for making the (last) release of rayshade.4.0.6.tar.Z

  If you prefer not to build urt +nd rayshade, a debian sarge binary
  pre-installed to /usr/local/ is far below (x86 only)

  To build start by getting files:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/rayshade/files/rayshade.4.0.6.tar.Z
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/rayshade-linux/files/rayshade.linux.patch

  If you dont have full urt 3.0 support (likely you dont), do this too:
    see urt-3.0 below, do that section first.

  Extract and appy patch.

        $ tar -xZf rayshade.4.0.tar.Z
        $ patch -Np1 -d rayshade.4.0 <rayshade.linux.patch

  To build do this (but see README.Linux)

        $ cd rayshade.4.0
        $ chmod +x mkdep BUILD.linux
        $ export linux=1 # see Notes
        $ sh ./BUILD.linux

  Notes:
        * the need for linux=1 is an oops, was not described in 2013 README
          for gcc glibc will likely need - others i do not know
        * building requires typical developer files (ie, dev packages)
        * official sites: (patches/ on ftp site are already in 4.0.6)
          ftp://graphics.stanford.edu/pub/rayshade
          http://www-graphics.stanford.edu/~cek/rayshade/rayshade.html

  ---------------------------

  This is for the (last) release urt-3.0.tar.Z (Utah Raster Toolkit)

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/Build.urt.linux

    $ sh ./Build.urt.linux  # downloads urt and builds it

  OR, to apply patch manually (note tar is pathless):

  If you dont have full urt 3.0 support (likely you dont), do this too:

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/urt-3.0.patch1
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/urt-3.0.patch2.Z
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/urt-3.0.tar.Z
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/urt-doc.tar
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit/files/urt-img.tar

        $ uncompress urt-3.0.tar.Z
        $ mkdir urt-3.0 ; cd urt-3.0
        $ tar -xf ../urt-3.0.tar ; cd ..
        $ patch -Np1 -d urt-3.0 <urt.linux.patch

  To build do this (see also README.Linux):

        $ cd urt-3.0
        $ sh ./Configure config/urt
        $ make ; make install

  Notes:
        * newly, debguy posted urt build as project with build script, see
          http://sourceforge.net/projects/utahrastertoolkit
        * building requires typical developer files (ie, dev packages)
        * X-Windows graphics viewer "xli" views RLE files.
        * rletopnm in Debian pkg netpbm converts to widely suported pnm (easy)
        * urt.linux.patch is applied before or without urt-3.0.patch[1,2]
          which are not necessary for rayshade (else unify diff, do them first)
        * official site: tarballs removed by Utah staff (or student?) in 2014?

  ---------------------------

  This is for rayshade.urt.debian.bin.tar.gz (Intel cpu only)
  and will be in /usr/local:

        $ tar -C / -xzf rayshade.urt.debian.bin.tar.gz

  Notes:
        * the above installs rayshade and urt install files to /usr/local
        * binaries were made in Debian "Sarge" for Intel 386/486 (or newer)
          (depends on very few basic linux libraries in Sarge.  for binary
           to run you must have compatible and or newer ones or "oldlibs"
           compatibility installed (these were from around year 2004)
        * yes, binaries work in newer Debian "Squeeze"

  ---------------------------

  Still not working?  See...

     http://sourceforge.net/projects/x-lfs-2010

     Is a small linux from scratch with script 'build' that build many pkgs
     including the above.  Assuming an lfs is not wanted, the file 'build'
     inside can still server as a kind of help referece of what does work
     (can show exactly how your system may differ in ways to cause issues).

     Also shown is how urt-3.0 is integrated more properly in popular
       netpbm-10.35.77
