Generic install instructions

Dependancies

To compile and install Lx-Viewer you will need the following packages installed on your system:

• gcc
• gcc-c++
• qt
• qt-devel
• glibc-kern-headers
• libstdc++-devel
• moc

You can query if they are installed with

rpm -qa | grep -i gcc

You will also need to download

• Opendwg toolkit and viewkit libraries from http://www.opendwg.org
• Lx-Viewer sources from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30996

Set up Qt paths

Note: It may be possible to skip this step, try compiling first, if you receive an error about not being able to find qt, use these steps.

Add a link in /usr/lib from "qt" to "qt-3.0.5" (or qt3 etc - whatever your distribution uses) if needed
ln -s qt-3.0.5 qt

Then in /etc/profile (or in ~/.profile) put:

QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Compiling

Place the open dwg libraries ad2.a and ad3.a in the viewer/OpenDWG directory

Go to your lx-viewer directory source and use

./configure
make

then as root

make install

To run simply type
$> viewer
