7 | MACINTOSH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SINGULAR |
---|
8 | ================================================= |
---|
9 | To install Singular on a Macintosh (PPC or 68k), you need the following two |
---|
10 | archives: |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | Singular-<x-y-z>-share.sea.hqx |
---|
13 | -- contains architecture independent data like documentation and libraries |
---|
14 | Singular-<x-y-z>-<target>-MPW.sea.hqx |
---|
15 | -- contains architecture dependent executables, like the Singular program |
---|
16 | |
---|
17 | You can obtain these files from |
---|
18 | ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/pub/Math/Singular/ |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | Furthermore, you need MacOS version >= 7.5 with an installed MPW shell |
---|
21 | E.T.O. >= 21 (see below for instructions on how to get MPW). |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | LICENSING |
---|
25 | ========= |
---|
26 | Please see the file COPYING contained in the distribution for license |
---|
27 | information on Singular. In particular, notice that we only grant you |
---|
28 | permission to use Singular if you have registered yourself as a |
---|
29 | Singular user by using the registration form on the Singular homepage |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | http://www.singular.uni-kl.de |
---|
32 | |
---|
33 | If for some reason you cannot access the registration form, you can also |
---|
34 | register by sending an email to <singular@mathematik.uni-kl.de> |
---|
35 | with subject line `register' and body containing the following data: |
---|
36 | your name, e-mail address, organisation, country and platform(s). |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | |
---|
39 | TO INSTALL SINGULAR |
---|
40 | =================== |
---|
41 | 1.) Expand the two downloaded files using a standard Expander (like Compact |
---|
42 | Pro or StuffIt) to obtain the corresponding self-extracting `.sea' |
---|
43 | files. |
---|
44 | |
---|
45 | 2.) Click on the two self-extracting `.sea' files. This |
---|
46 | will create a new (or, update an existing) folder named "Singular" |
---|
47 | which contains the Singular program in the subfolder "<x-y-z>". |
---|
48 | Multiple versions of Singular can peaceably coexist under the same |
---|
49 | root folder. |
---|
50 | |
---|
51 | 3.) Clicking on the Singular icon in the desktop, starts up the MPW shell |
---|
52 | (the working direktory of the MPW shell is then the directory of the |
---|
53 | executable). To start Singular, you need to type in 'Singular' in |
---|
54 | the MPW worksheet. |
---|
55 | If you start the MPW shell manually, you must set the working |
---|
56 | direktory to the directory of the Singular program. |
---|
57 | |
---|
58 | After unpacking, you will have a directory structure like: |
---|
59 | ./Singular/<x-y-z>/Singular Singular executable |
---|
60 | ./Singular/<x-y-z>/libparse parser for Singular libraries |
---|
61 | ./Singular/LIB/<x-y-z>/ Singular libraries |
---|
62 | ./Singular/LIB/gftables/ Singular gftables |
---|
63 | ./Singular/doc/<x-y-z>/ documentation (ps, dvi, info) |
---|
64 | ./Singular/html/<x-y-z>/ documentation (html) |
---|
65 | ./Singular/README general information on Singular |
---|
66 | ./Singular/COPYING licence information |
---|
67 | ./Singular/INSTALL this file |
---|
68 | For the executable to work, the directory layout must look like this. |
---|
69 | In particular, you should not move or copy the Singular executables to |
---|
70 | another place. |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | TO INSTALL MPW |
---|
74 | ============== |
---|
75 | A minimal version of MPW is downloadable from Apple at |
---|
76 | ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./MPW-GM/MPW/ |
---|
77 | |
---|
78 | You only need the file containing the MPW shell (i.e., 'MPW_Shell.sit.hqx'). |
---|
79 | |
---|
80 | However, if you wish to start Singular from within the MPW shell you |
---|
81 | furthermore need the file 'Tools/GetFileName.sit.hqx'. |
---|
82 | |
---|
83 | In cases where the StdCLib is not found (systems before 7.6) you can |
---|
84 | download it from http://developer.apple.com/dev/tools/mpw-tools/ . Put the |
---|
85 | contained system extension StdCLibInit in the system extension folder. |
---|
86 | |
