Prerequests

You need access to a GNU/Linux computer at the DAIMI institute. We also assume you are using the default bash shell. If not, it's up to you to add the correct paths to your shell environment. You can install this over ssh. But to run the program you will need access to the machine for 3D/X11 support. All the following will be performed in a terminal so you may open one now.

Install script for programs and libraries

source /users/cgd/bin/daimi-install

If you do not use the source command you will need to relogin before the environment paths will take effect.

Get OpenEngine source

First you need to download the source code and a distribution. After that you may continue to build the system as described below.

Generate make files

There is a small make.py helper script in the root of the OpenEngine directory.

# set executable bit on the make.py script
chmod +x make.py

# generate the make system and build the default target
./make.py

Working on the source

If you use the supreme emacs editor check out our elisp code to make everything a little bit better.
