Installation

Sources

1. Download dime >=0.9 from here or from Coin3d.

Unix-like OS

2. Extract the archive
   (tar.bz2-archive with tar -xjf dime*tar.bz2 or tar.gz-archive with tar -xzf dime*.tar.gz).
3. Install dime calling ./configure in dime-directory and make install
   (If you want to install it not in standard directory use ./configure --prefix=<dir> instead of ./configure, e.g. ./configure --prefix=$HOME installs dime under home directory.)

4. Do the same thing with cad2octree-archive.

   tar -xjf cad2octree*.tar.bz2
cd cad2octree-0.2.1/
./configure
make install


   (If you use a cad2octree version <=0.2.0 modify paths, ... in Makefile.incl and call make to compile cad2octree sources. It's possible that you have to include dime's library path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Windows

2. Extract and install dime.
3. Set the enviroment variables CXX, CXXFLAGS, DIME_INCL and DIME_LIB to the correct values.
   (Its recommended to use cygwin with g++-2.)
4. Now you can use make.bat to compile cad2octree.

Binaries

Linux

1. Extract bin-archive:
   tar -xjf cad2octree*.i386.tar.bz2
2. Now you can call cad2octree directly.
   (If it don't works missing dime library, install dime at first and include dime's library directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable.)

Windows

1. Extract zip-archive.
2. Now you can call cad2octree directly.
   (Make sure, that cygwin's dll cygwin1.dll exists. cad2octree's windows binary is created using cygwin/g++-2 platform.)
