Below you will find information related to the installation of the DIVERSE interface to OpenGL (DGL). DGL also includes support for Coin3D, OpenSceneGraph, and VTK. All dependencies must be installed prior to building this package. It is safe to disregard the optional dependencies if you do not already have them installed though the functionality will be unavailable.

The dependencies for DGL include OpenThreads and Producer both of which can be obtained separately or together with OpenSceneGraph. We recommend downloading the combined source code package from the OpenSceneGraph download page. This file is normally named OSG_OP_OT-x.x.zip.


Dependencies

DTK

The DIVERSE Toolkit (DTK) should be installed prior to building DPF.


OpenThreads

To install OpenThreads, simply unzip the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

cd OpenThreads
make
make install

For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: Unfortunately the developers did not provide an easy means of building 32 bit code on an x86_64 machine. It requires minor modifications to the Make/makedefs file in each of the OpenThreads, Producer, and OpenSceneGraph directories.


Producer

To install Producer, simply unzip the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

cd Producer
make
make install

For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: Unfortunately the developers did not provide an easy means of building 32 bit code on an x86_64 machine. It requires minor modifications to the Make/makedefs file in each of the OpenThreads, Producer, and OpenSceneGraph directories.


Optional Dependencies

OpenSceneGraph

To install OpenSceneGraph, simply unzip the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

cd Producer
make
make install

For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: Unfortunately the developers did not provide an easy means of building 32 bit code on an x86_64 machine. It requires minor modifications to the Make/makedefs file in each of the OpenThreads, Producer, and OpenSceneGraph directories.


Coin3D

Coin3D provides a scenegraph which supports VRML97 and OpenInventor files. It can be downloaded from the Coin3D website. There are additional packages such as simage, dime, and profit which provide additional functionality used in conjunction with Coin3D. These are also available from the same website.

To install Coin3D, simply untar the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

./configure --enable-3ds-import
make
make install
For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: 
./configure CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 --enable-3ds-import --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
make
make install

VTK

VTK (Visualization Toolkit) provides an extensive set of 2D and 3D algorithms. It can be downloaded from

The installation of VTK requires the use of cmake which can be downloaded from the CMake website. To install cmake, cd to /usr/local and as root untar the binary archive.

To install VTK, simply untar the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

cmake -i
make install
For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: 
CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 linux32 cmake -i
make install

DGL Installation

The latest version of DGL can be downloaded from SourceForge.

To install DGL, simply untar the file, cd into it's directory, and then:

./configure --with-coin --with-osg --with-vtk --prefix=/usr/local/diverse/dgl-2.4.3
make
make install
ln -s /usr/local/diverse/dgl-2.4.3 /usr/local/diverse/dgl
For 32 bit support under 64 bit Linux: 
./configure --enable-32bit --with-coin --with-osg --with-vtk --prefix=/usr/local/diverse/dgl-2.4.3
make
make install
ln -s /usr/local/diverse/dgl-2.4.3 /usr/local/diverse/dgl
