Ribbons Compaq Port


The port went very smoothly about a year ago, except I couldn't figure out stereo (thanks again to Richard Readings in the UK). Had to get Tcl/Tk, TIFF libraries, and the xv viewer to show saved images.

Installed Tcl/Tk version 8.0 from www.scriptics.com/software/tcltk/8.0.html.
It's a simple: configure; make; make install, but must later make sure you have '/usr/bin/wish'. May have had to do something like:
cd /usr/bin; ln -s /usr/local/bin/wish8.0.5 wish

Installed Sam Leffler's tiff-v3.4 from somewhere, eg, uiarchive.uiuc.edu/mirrors/ftp/ftp.uu.net/graphics/tiff/.
I think you can freely distribute it, so have a compiled copy of the library here: libtiff.a.
Also need a couple of header files: tiff.h and tiffio.h.
Put "libtiff.a" in /usr/lib and the "*.h" files in /usr/include.

Installed John Bradley's xv-3.10a from www.trilon.com/xv.
I think you can freely distribute it, so have a compiled copy of the main program here: xv.
I put this (made executable) in /usr/local/bin, which is in my path.
