How do I install vecds on system x?
The configure system for vecds is under development. If you really need vecds working on your system, but it is not listed here or it just does not work for you, then the best thing to do is flame Toby D. Young and lobby him to get the damned thing working!
In any case the procedure is mostly the same for *NIX based systems. First up is to make sure that Qt >= 4.6.2 and Qwt >= 5.0.0 are installed either locally or on your system. Second, run the configure-build script with qmake and make.
Linux >= 2.6.34. Installing Qt and Qwt on your Linux box is highly dependent on which distribution of choice you are using. Here are some clues:
emerge -avD qt qwt. aptitude install qt4-dev-tools. Following that, for any distribution (that we know about), vecds is built by running in sequence: qmake vecds.pro, then make. If nothing extraordinary happens, the vecds excecutable can be found here: bin/vecds.
Mac OS X >= 10.5 (Leopard, Snow Leopard) Experimental. The easiest way to install Qt on your Mac is to grab the correct Qt version as a .dmg image from qt.nokia and follow the built-in instructions on installation.
Second is an installation of Qwt. For this, download the source from qwt.sourceforge and unpack that somewhere. In the Qwt directory run the following in sequence: qmake -spec macx-g++ to build the Qwt makefiles, make and then (optionally) make install.
Finally, after returning to your vecds directory, run in sequence: qmake -spec macx-g++ macosx.pro to build the makefiles with Mac OS X dylibs. Then, as always, make to build vecds.
If all went ok, the vecds .app application for Mac OS X can be found here: bin/vecds.app/Contents/MacOS/vecds.
