Distribution files and installation

After installation of the source distribution file from the homepage you will find in the tochnog directory the following:

• src/tochnog.h
  Header file for C++ routines.
• src/makefile
  Compiles the program. Some precompiled executables are available at the download section of our home page. If you have another computer system then you need to compile yourself. Either use
  • make alpha (one-processor dec unix for alpha processors).
  • make alpha_parallel (multi-processor dec unix for alpha processors).
  • make hp (hp computers)
  • make linux (multi-processor linux version)
  • make linux_old (one-processor linux version)
  • make sgi (silicon graphics)
  • make sparc (sun solaris with sparc processors)
  • make sparc_parallel (for multi-processor sun solaris version)
  • make os2 (for the IBM OS2 platform)
  • nmake visual_cpp (for Microsoft windows; you need the visual c++ compiler)
  • nmake visual_cpp_parallel (for Microsoft windows; you need the visual c++ compiler)
  • make borland_cpp (for Microsoft windows; you need the borland c++ compiler)
  where linux is for recent linux multi-processor platforms. The switch 'linux_old' is reported to compile correctly also on NeXT computers. If you don't have the commercial Borland or Visual compiler for Microsoft windows, you can try the free Cywin32 compiler (gcc compiler fow MS win32; see http://sourceware.cygnus.com) which is reported to compile correctly. The gcc compiler sometimes gives a wrong executable with the -O3 optimisation in the makefile (abvious, because tochnog will not run correctly at all); if so, change the optimisation back to -O.
• src/*.cc
  These are C++ routines.
• gid/*/*
  Files for the Tochnog graphical layer inside the GID pre- and postprocessor. See the separate Tochnog-GID manual on how to use these files.
• test/makefile
  Runs test input files on Unix. Use
  • make small
  • make large
  • make very_large
  • make all
• test/*.dat
  Data files.
• COPYING
  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
• tools/*.awk,cc
  These are simple translation programs between Tochnog and others (FE programs, pre-post)
• tools/tnwget.bat
  Script to load automatically tochnog distribution from internet. Needs the wget program.

After installation of the Latex distribution file from the homepage you will find in the tn directory the following:

• doc/tnu.tex
  User's documentation in Latex format.
• doc/tnp.tex
  Programmer's documentation in Latex format.
• doc/ps/*.ps
  Postscript figures in Latex documentation.

After installation of the html distribution file from the homepage you will find in the tn directory the following:

• doc/tnu/*
  User's documentation in html format. The entry file is tnu.html (or sometimes tnu.htm).
• doc/tnp/*
  Programmer's documentation in html format. The entry file is tnp.html (or sometimes tnp.htm).
• doc/tngid/*
  Tochnog-GID documentation in html format. The entry file is tngid.html (or sometimes tngid.htm).

To create a soft link on Unix to the Tochnog executable use:

• ln -s $HOME/tochnog/src/tochnog $HOME/bin/tochnog

If you put your bin directory in your PATH, you can use the Tochnog executable everywhere. As an alternative, you can move the executable to any directory which is part of your PATH.
