since my last post I had some mails exchange with gcad3d developper Franz Reiter, and yesterday got it installed and working on toutoulinux4.1.2k2.6.25.16 frugal (french translation of Puppy).
I did the following:
installation of prerequisites:
1. OpenGL with installation of xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet
(verify installation doing in a console; if "Yes" answer for direct rendering then is OpenGL active).
Code: Select all
#pwd
# /
# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
...
#
verify installation doing
Code: Select all
#gcc
gcc: no input files
#
3. dependencies: all 3 downloaded from debian-packages.org (in package contents)
libglib2.0-0_2.16.6-1_i386.deb
libgtkgl2.0-1_2.0.0-1_i386.deb
libselinux1_2.0.65-5_i386.deb
copy them under /
there do in a console (where xxx is the respective name of the above libs ) :
Code: Select all
#pwd
/
#undeb libxxx_i386.deb
5. graphic card: mine is intel 82845G and seems not render textures ("OpenGL-binding error") I hope it does not matter as I need only drawing lines circles etc..
afterwards download gCAD3D-1.26-Linux-x86
and copy it to / ;
render it executable (right clik on it; permissions; select 'a+x executable' OK)
in a console:
Code: Select all
#pwd
/
#ls
gCAD3D-1.26-Linux-x86
#./gCAD3D-1.26-Linux-x86
...
box: choose language - enter
...
box: agree on license - enter
...
etc
...
box: installation finished
#
and here we are; again in a console:
Code: Select all
# cd /root/gCAD3D
# ./gCAD3D
...
from rox-filler '/root/gCAD3D' drag and drop the white-and-red-cross on the desktop background and click on it...
there the program is running, display of a "rugby balloon" in viewer mode (move it pressing Ctrl or Shift or both while moving the mouse).
Now select CAD or MAN or NC: if no shutdown of the program then gCAD3D looks running OK.
(I could not anymore re-display the rugby-balloon...never mind?!)
Now read manual to learn using it.
Sorry for my poor english...!
Many thanks to Franz Reiter for his time and efforts!
Cheers
