(Actually, the windows version is just the MSDOS version, which can be run inside an msdos window within windows-95, windows-NT, etc.) ### 14.4.1: MSDOS Operating System To compile and install Gri under MSDOS, do this: To begin, install ``DJGPP V2`', if it is not on your system already. It can be found at ``http://www.delorie.com/djgpp`' Uncompress and extract from gri source package (see Uncompiled Unix). Type ``make -f Makefile.dj2`' to compile. If it fails, you might have to edit the file ``Makefile.dj2`' to match the characteristics of your system. Please inform the author, Dan Kelley at Dan.Kelley@Dal.CA, if you think your modifications might be useful to others. Type ``make -f Makefile.dj2 install`' to install it (normally on the ``C:`' drive). If you encounter problems, read the first few lines of the Makefile (i.e. the file ``Makefile.dj2`') for hints on things to try. For example, in the present version of ``Makefile.dj2`' these hints are given: There is a good chance that this Makefile will work as is, so try that first. If you have the ``netcdf`' library (used for certain types of atmospheric and oceanographic datasets), then un-comment and possibly edit the appropriate ``NETCDF_...`' lines below, as instructed by the comments preceding these lines. If you don't want Gri inserted in the directory ``c:/gri`', edit the ``instdir = ...`' line below. If you get error messages about the ``stdcxx`' library, edit the ``LIBS`' line below, rewriting ``-lstdcxx`' as ``-lstdcx`'. If you get compilation errors relating to ``time`' or to ``ftime`', try putting the token ``-DHAVE_FTIME=1`' in the list of similar token in the ``DEFS = ...`' line. For consistency (basically, so the author can help you if you do this), put it right after the ``-D_GRI_=1`' token. To view the output, use a PostScript viewer such as GSview. ### 14.4.2: LINUX Operating System Linux is a good emulation of unix, and it is free. Gri for linux is compiled and installed according to the normal unix instructions. The compiled version is with a name like ``gri-binary-solaris-2.1.10.tar.gz`'; treat it as in other unix systems (see Uncompiled Unix).
