Installation

SimNow System Requirements

The SimNow simulator requires the following:

SimNow Installation

This section describes the steps necessary to install and run the SimNow simulator. SimNow may be installed from the source or from the RPM.

Installing From Source

Unpack the source distribution. From the top directory, invoke configure to set up the sources for your configuration.

./configure options

where options can include

--with-qt=path Path to the base Qt 1.x directory.
--with-kde-includes=path Path to KDE include files
--with-kde-libs=path Path to KDE libraries
--prefix=path Installation prefix (default /usr/local).

For SuSE 6.4, the default configuration should work. For RedHat 6.2, use these options:

./configure \
--with-qt=/usr/lib/qt-1.45 \
--with-kde-includes=/usr/include/kde \
--with-kde-libs=/usr/lib
Set the installation prefix to point to wherever you wish the simulator to be installed.

Finally, issue the command:

make install
This will build SimNow and install the application and necessary images in the appropriate directories (based on the prefix flag).

Installing from the RPM

With the RPM, simnow.rpm, install the package by running (as root):

rpm -i simnow.rpm

This will install the SimNow application in the /usr/local directory. To install SimNow in a different directory, FILL THIS IN.
