@ -77,14 +77,60 @@ This will compile panda with all the features. It can take several
hours, depending on the speed of your machine.
The resulting copy of panda will be found in a subdirectory 'built'
inside the source tree. You can invoke panda programs directly out of
the built subdirectory.
inside the source tree.
You can also move the built subdirectory elsewhere on your machine.
If you choose to do so, you must first copy the subdirectories
'models' and 'samples' into the built subdirectory, and 'direct/src'
into 'built/direct/src'.
TESTING THE COMPILED PANDA
After building panda, you should test it before installing it.
The first step is to add the built/bin directory to your PATH. This
is not strictly necessary, you can run the panda programs by typing
their paths explicitly, but it is much more convenient to set the
PATH.
Second, add the built/lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is
only necessary under Linux - Windows takes care of this automatically.
It is also possible to use the system ld.so.conf configuration file to
achieve the same effect, but LD_LIBRARY_PATH is more convenient for
quick-and-dirty testing.
Finally, change directory to one of the sample programs, and run the
sample program using 'ppython'. For example,
cd samples/Feature-Tutorials--Actors
ppython Tut-Actors.py
If this doesn't work, something is wrong, and there's no reason
to continue with the installation process.
INSTALLING PANDA
The first step is to copy 'models' and 'samples' into the built
subdirectory, and 'direct/src' into 'built/direct/src'. Then, move
the built directory anywhere you like on your system. For example,
Linux users might want to move it to /usr/local:
mv built /usr/local/panda3d
Windows users might want to move it to C:\Panda3D
move built c:\Panda3D
Then, add the panda bin directory to your PATH. Under Linux, it is
also necessary to add the panda lib directory to the system library
path. It is usually possible to do so by editing the
file /etc/ld.so.conf.
INSTALLATION AND THE LINUX STANDARD FILESYSTEM LAYOUT
The installation instructions above will produce a fully-functional
installation of panda with a minimum number of complicated steps.
However, the installation will not conform to the Linux standards
for filesystem layout.
If you want a conformant installation, the most sensible approach is
to build a redhat RPM or a debian DEB, and then install the package.
Instructions for building a package can be found below.
