Appendix B: Installation Notes for Unsupported Systems

The following is a list of helpful hints when porting LAS to a computer that is not supported. This list was compiled from the phone support given to sites that are porting LAS to an unsupported system; therefore, this list is not comprehensive.

  1. Some of the source code has been placed within ifdef statements. As a consequence, files with ifdef statements need to be edited in order to build on an unsupported computer. We know the following.
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/include/typlim.h
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/include/typlim.mfi
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/include/imageio.h
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/include/sysdef.h
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/include/tapeio.h
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/support/pixman/c_pxsys.c
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/support/util/c_sysset.c
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/support/ddr/c_comsys.c
         $EDCSOFT/src/las/base/support/ddr/c_getsys.c
    
  2. The supports for the tapeio modules may have to be revised for the specific drivers of the unsupported system.
