 GETTING STARTED
 ---------------

-As there are many ways to get started with BRL-CAD, one of the most
-important steps for new developers to do is get involved in the
-discussions and communicate with the BRL-CAD developers.  There are
-mailing lists, on-line forums, and an IRC channel dedicated to BRL-CAD
-developer communication.  Developers are encouraged to participate in
-all of them.
-
-* E-mail Mailing Lists
-
-  Go to http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=105292 and join the
-  "brlcad-devel" mailing list.  More involved developers will also
-  want to join the "brlcad-commits" and "brlcad-tracker" lists.
-
-* On-line Forums
-
-  Discussion forums are available on the project site at
-  http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=105292 for both developers
-  and users.  Of particular interest to developers is, of course, the
-  "Developers" forum.
-
-* Internet Relay Chat
-
-  The primary and generally preferred mechanism for interactive
-  developer discussions is via IRC.  Several of the core developers
-  and users of BRL-CAD hang out in #brlcad on the Freenode network.
-  With most any IRC client you should be able to join #brlcad on
-  irc.freenode.net, port 6667.  See http://freenode.net and
-  http://irchelp.org for more information

-To contribute source code to BRL-CAD, begin by submitting source code
-patches to the patches section at http://sf.net/projects/brlcad/.
-Patches in the universal diff format (diff -u) are preferred.

 HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
 -----------------

-BRL-CAD's open source developer management structure is best described
-as a meritocracy.  Roughly stated, this basically means that the power
-to make decisions lies directly with the individuals that have ability

-are expected to "settle down" around the last couple days of the month
-so that the source code may be verified, tested, and released.  Major
-changes to the source code should not occur during these last couple
-days of the iteration, only minor bug and build fixes.  A release
-should then be made within the first couple days of the next month's
-iteration.  Repeat, rinse, recycle.
-
-In addition to the monthly iteration release, additional releases may
-be made on an as-needed basis.  This is particularly relevant for

-=================================
-
-Please read this document if you are interested in installing BRL-CAD.
-
-This document covers the basics of installing BRL-CAD from either a
-source or binary distribution.  Please see the 'Reporting Problems'
-section if you run into any trouble installing BRL-CAD.
-
-Some platforms have additional platform-specific documentation
-provided in the doc/ directory of the source distribution that should
-be consulted if that is the platform you are installing on.  This
-presently includes the following:

-
-QUICK INSTALLATION
------------------
-
-For the impatient or simplistic, the following should compile, test,
-and install BRL-CAD quickly into the /usr/brlcad directory.  If you
-have a configure script, run the following:
-
-  ./configure
-  make
-  make benchmark
-  make install   # as root, e.g. sudo make install
-  make test
-
-If you don't have a configure script, run the following to generate
-the script then proceed with the steps above:
-
-  sh autogen.sh
-
-If any of the listed steps fail, then something unexpected happened.
-See the reporting problems section of this document to report the
-problem.
-
-Once installed, add /usr/brlcad/bin to your path, and you should be
-able to run one of the 400+ applications that constitute BRL-CAD.  For
-example, to run the MGED solid modeler:
-
-PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
-mged
-
-If you use tcsh or another C-shell based command shell, use this
-instead:
-
-set path=( /usr/brlcad/bin $path ) ; rehash
-mged
-
-
-INSTALLING FROM SOURCE
----------------------
-
-There are a couple means to obtain the BRL-CAD sources, via either a
-CVS checkout/export or a source distribution tarball.  Using the
-latest CVS sources is recommended where possible, since it will have
-the latest changes.
-
-
-Starting From a CVS Checkout/Export:
-
-If you have obtained the BRL-CAD sources from the CVS revision control
-system, you will need to prepare the build for configuration:
-
-  sh autogen.sh
-
-This step requires that you have the GNU Build System (GBS) installed,
-which includes a sufficiently recent version of Autoconf, Automake,
-and Libtool.  Running autogen.sh will verify that the versions of each
-are sufficient and will generate the `configure' script.  If you do
-not have sufficient versions of the GBS components installed, you will
-either need to install/ugrade them, run autogen.sh on another system
-and them copy the files over, or start with a source tarball
-distribution (where autogen.sh is automatically run for you).
-
-Once autogen.sh is sucessfully run somewhere, you can continue with
-the steps shown next for starting from a source distribution.
-
-
-Starting From a Source Distribution:
-
-There are many different ways to build BRL-CAD and depending on what
-you need/want will determine which configuration options you should
-use.  See the Configuration Options section below for details on how
-to go about selecting which options are appropriate for you.
-
-By default, the default configuration will prepare the build system
-for installation into the /usr/brlcad directory (the --prefix option
-may be used to change that).  This tradition goes back a couple
-decades and is a convenient means to isolate the BRL-CAD solid
-modeling system from your system, resolves conflicts, facilitates
-uninstalls, and simplifies upgrades.  The default configuration is
-performed by running the `configure' script:
-
-  ./configure
-
-By default, an unoptimized debug build of BRL-CAD will be configured
-for compilation.  To obtain an optimized build (for example, for
-BRL-CAD Benchmark performance testing), use the --enable-optimized
-configure option:
-
-  ./configure --enable-optimized
-
-By default, all components and functionality will be built except
-jove.  However, BRL-CAD does require and include several 3rd party
-components.  If your system does not include a sufficient version of
-those required 3rd party components, they will be automatically
-configured for compilation.  You can force any one of those components
-on or off via --enable-FEATURE and --disable-FEATURE arguments to
-configure:
-
-  ./configure --enable-termlib --disable-png
-
-See the Configuration Options below for more details on all of the
-possible settings.
-
-Once configured, you should be able to succesfully build BRL-CAD via
-make:
-
-  make
-
-See the Compilation Options section in this document for more details
-on compile-time options including options for parallel build support.
-
-
-Testing a Compilation:
-
-Once the compilation is complete, you can test it before and after
-installation.  To test a compilation of BRL-CAD before installation,
-you can run the BRL-CAD benchmark.  The benchmark will report if the
-results are correct, testing a majority of the core functionality of
-BRL-CAD in addition to testing your system's performance:
-
-  make benchmark
-
-See the Testing An Install section of this document for more details
-on testing your BRL-CAD distribution.
-
-
-Installing a Compilation:
-
-After the build successfully completes and assuming the benchmark also
-produces correct results, installation may begin.  Like any package,
-you must have sufficient filesystem permissions to install.  To
-install into a system location, you can generally either become a
-super user via the su or sudo commands:
-
-  sudo make install
-
-See the Installation Options section of this document for more details
-on BRL-CAD installation options and post-install environment
-preparations.
-
-
-INSTALLING FROM BINARY
----------------------
-
-There are a variety of different kinds of BRL-CAD binary
-distributions.  Some of the binary disributions are sufficiently
-generic and are simply a binary commpressed tarball distribution.
-Others are specific to a particular platform such as Debian, Mac OS X,
-FreeBSD, etc.
-
-
-Generic Binary Distributions:
-
-For the unspecialized binary distributions that are basically
-compressed tarballs of the installation root, they should contain the
-entire hierarchy of the distribution.  That is to say that they
-contain /usr/brlcad in it's entirety so that if you decompress, you
-will have a `usr' directory that contains a single `brlcad' directory:
-
-gunzip brlcad-7.2.4_linux_ia64.tar.gz
-tar -xvf brlcad-7.2.4_linux_ia64.tar
-sudo mv usr/brlcad /usr/.
-
-Of course, there are other compression options possible including zip
-and bzip2.  By default, BRL-CAD expects to be installed into
-/usr/brlcad and MGED is not relocateable by default.  It's recommended
-that you start from a source distribution if you would like to install
-into an alternate installation location.
-
-However, if you do desire to install and run BRL-CAD from a different
-location, give it a try.. ;) The only problems encountered should be
-with running the MGED solid modeler where you will need to set the
-BRLCAD_ROOT environment variable to your different install location
-(e.g. /usr/local).  If this doesn't work (some platforms are more
-problematic than others), you will need to compile and install from a
-source distribution.
-
-
-Mac OS X Disk Mounting Image:
-
-Mount the .dmg and run the Installer .pkg contained therein.  This
-will install into /usr/brlcad and will only require confirming that
-your environment is set up properly (i.e. add /usr/brlcad/bin to your
-path) as described in this document's Installation Options section.
-
-
-CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
---------------------
-
-By default, BRL-CAD is configured to build the entire package and will
-install completely isolated into the /usr/brlcad directory.
-Configuration will prepare the build for an unoptimized compilation by
-default and will attempt to utilize required system libraries if they
-are available, otherwise compiling the required library dependencies
-as needed.  Run `./configure --help' for a list of all of the possible
-configuration options.
-
-Variables can be set in the environment passed to `configure'.
-However, the build may run configure again during the build, and the
-customized values of these variables may be lost.  In order to avoid
-this problem, you should set them in the `configure' command line,
-using `VAR=value'.  For example:
-
-     ./configure CC=/usr/ucb/bin/cc
-
-will cause the specified executable program to be used as the C
-compiler.
-
-
-COMPILATION OPTIONS
-------------------
-
-If you are on a multiprocessor machine, you can compile in parallel
-depending on the version of `make' being used.  For the GNU and BSD
-make, you can use the -j argument.  For example, to use 4 CPUs:
-
-  make -j4
-
-With the IRIX compiler, the -P option enables parallel build mode and
-the PARALLEL environment variable sets the number of CPUs (default is
-two):
-
-  PARALLEL=4 make -P
-
-
-INSTALLATION OPTIONS
--------------------
-
-By default, `make install' will install BRL-CAD's files into
-`/usr/brlcad/bin', `/usr/brlcad/man', etc.  You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/brlcad' by giving `configure' the

+
+Basic Installation
+==================
+
+   These are generic installation instructions.
+
+   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
+various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
+those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
+It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
+definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
+you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
+file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
+debugging `configure').
+
+   It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
+and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
+the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring.  (Caching is
+disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
+cache files.)
+
+   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
+to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
+diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
+be considered for the next release.  If you are using the cache, and at
+some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
+may remove or edit it.
+
+   The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
+`configure' by a program called `autoconf'.  You only need
+`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
+a newer version of `autoconf'.
+
+The simplest way to compile this package is:
+
+  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
+     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
+     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
+     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
+     `configure' itself.
+
+     Running `configure' takes awhile.  While running, it prints some
+     messages telling which features it is checking for.
+
+  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
+
+  3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
+     the package.
+
+  4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
+     documentation.
+
+  5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
+     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
+     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
+     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
+     also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
+     for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get
+     all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
+     with the distribution.
+
+Compilers and Options
+=====================
+
+   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
+the `configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help'
+for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
+
+   You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
+by setting variables in the command line or in the environment.  Here
+is an example:
+
+     ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
+
+   *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
+
+Compiling For Multiple Architectures
+====================================
+
+   You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
+same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
+own directory.  To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
+supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
+directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
+the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
+source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
+
+   If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
+variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
+time in the source code directory.  After you have installed the
+package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
+for another architecture.
+
+Installation Names
+==================
+
+   By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
+`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
+installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
 option `--prefix=PATH'.

+   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
+architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
+give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
+PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
+Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

-Setting Up the Path:
+   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
+options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
+kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
+you can set and what kinds of files go in them.

-Once installed, you will need to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your system
-PATH.  For Bourne shell users, you can run the following:
+   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
+with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
+option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

-  PATH=/usr/brlcad/bin:$PATH ; export PATH
+Optional Features
+=================

-For C shell users, this should do the same thing:
+   Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
+`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
+They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
+is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
+`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
+package recognizes.

-  set path=( /usr/brlcad/bin $path ) ; rehash
+   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
+find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
+you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
+`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

-If you would like to provide BRL-CAD to multiple users, your shell
-environment scripts should be edited so that /usr/brlcad/bin is added
-to the system path.  This usually entails editing /etc/profile,
-/etc/csh.login, /etc/bashrc, and possibly other files depending on
-your platform.
+Specifying the System Type
+==========================
+
+   There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
+automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
+will run on.  Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
+_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
+a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
+`--build=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
+type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
+
+     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
+
+where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
+
+     OS KERNEL-OS
+
+   See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
+`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
+need to know the machine type.
+
+   If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
+use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
+produce code for.
+
+   If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
+platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
+"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
+eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
+
+Sharing Defaults
+================
+
+   If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
+you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
+default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
+`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
+`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
+`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
+A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
+
+Defining Variables
+==================
+
+   Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
+environment passed to `configure'.  However, some packages may run
+configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
+variables may be lost.  In order to avoid this problem, you should set
+them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'.  For example:
+
+     ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
+
+will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
+overridden in the site shell script).
+
+`configure' Invocation
+======================
+
+   `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
+operates.
+
+`--help'
+`-h'
+     Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
+
+`--version'
+`-V'
+     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
+     script, and exit.
+
+`--cache-file=FILE'
+     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
+     traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
+     disable caching.
+
+`--config-cache'
+`-C'
+     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
+
+`--quiet'
+`--silent'
+`-q'
+     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
+     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
+     messages will still be shown).
+
+`--srcdir=DIR'
+     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
+     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
+
+`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run
+`configure --help' for more details.


-Setting Up the Manual Pages Path:

-It may be useful to add /usr/brlcad/man to your MANPATH in the same
-manner as shown above for PATH.  Conversely, you could use the
-`brlman' command that is already preconfigured to locate the BRL-CAD
-manpages.
+On IRIX
+	./configure CC=cc CFLAGS=-64 LDFLAGS=-64 --enable-64bit-build
+or
+	./configure CC=cc 

-
-TESTING AN INSTALL
------------------
-
-After BRL-CAD is installed, you can test the installation via:
-
-  make test
-
-This will run a series of tests on the installed sources to make sure
-that they behave as they should.  Similarly, simply running `rt'
-and/or `mged' are good tests of basic functionality.  Running `rt'
-without any options should display version information and a usage
-message.  Running `mged' without any options will start the GUI-based
-solid modeler applicaation.
-
-
-REPORTING PROBLEMS
------------------
-
-Please report any bugs encountered to the project bug tracker at
-http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105292&atid=640802
-

--- 2005-11-12  Release 7.6.4                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release adds a new geometry creation interface to mged that
-supports reverse modeling geometry of existing objects.  New geometry
-creation commands read point data sets in a simple text file format,
-recognizing categories and collections of points.  Using
-point-acquisition devices such as X-Station Vulcan advanced surveying
-systems from Arc Second Inc., points may be collected and used in mged
-to factilitate the generation of geometry models.  Collection
-techniques are recognized for polygonal plates, cylinders, spheres,
-point clouds, and more.

--- 2005-09-29  Release 7.6.2                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to resolve an integration issue with the MUVES-S2
-vulnerability analysis code, this special release of BRL-CAD was put
-together providing updated tclscripts that work correctly when

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2005-09-08  Release 7.6.0                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release includes the addition of a new geometry "Quantitative
-Analysis" tool called g_qa.  This tool is a new tool that combines
-some of the features of rtweight, rtcheck and g_lint, providing a
-robust means for computing the weight and volume of objects while also
-allowing a means to report overlaps, air gaps, external air regions,
-bounding box dimensions, and more.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2005-08-10  Release 7.4.2                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Continuing with the impressive ADRT tool suite being provided by
-Justin Shumaker is the addition of the Interactive Shot Selection Tool
-(ISST).  Using ISST, you can spin large facetized models around in
-real-time, slice through them with rays, and examine the geometric
-components along a given path.  The tool will take advantage of
-clusters and SMP hardware similar to RISE, providing a master job
-manager, a slave compute daemon for network distributed processing,
-and a client for interacting with and viewing the models.
-
-* fixed ray-trace unique hits evaluation bug - John Anderson
-* added manual page for remapid - John Anderson
-* fixed quick memory debugging bug - Jim Hunt
-* improved brlman relocation - Sean Morrison
-* added g_qa geometry quality analysis tool (beta) - Lee Butler
-* added adrt interactive shot selection tool - Justin Shumaker
-* simultaneous -o and -F options to rt, rtedge, rtxray - Sean Morrison
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2005-07-12  Release 7.4.0                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This update includes several enhancements and new additions including
-the impressive addition of the Realistic Image Synthesis Engine (RISE)
-path-tracer.  RISE is part of the Advanced Distributed Ray-Trace
-(ADRT) tool and library suite, which provides a high-performance
-triangle ray-trace engine.  This engine serves as the basis for
-several tools, RISE being the first toolset to be released.  This
-toolset includes a master job manager, a slave compute daemon for
-network distributed processing, and a client for observing job
-progress.
-
-Driven by user requests, the 'rtarea' command now reports signifcantly
-more information than before including area details for all assemblies
-and regions being rendered.  Both the presented and exposed areas are
-now computed too, including details on how many regions/assemblies are
-hit.  The exposed area is the potentially occluded 2D projection
-whereas the presented area is calculated without consideration for
-occlusions.  That is to say that if an object is in front covering a
-regions or assemblies from a particular view, the exposed area of the
-covered geometry would be reduced but the presented area would not.
-The rtarea command was added to mged as well, along with rtweight.
-
-* improved mged initialization failure reporting - Sean Morrison
-* applied zlib vulnerability patch (CAN-2005-2096) - Sean Morrison
-* added the adrt rise path-tracer - Justin Shumaker

-* added a -noleaf option to the mged pathlist command - Bob Parker
-* fixed potential infinite loop bug in BoT primitive - Bob Parker
-* no longer install tclsh/wish, use btclsh/bwish - Sean Morrison
-* added bot_merge mged cmd (combine 2 bots into 1) - Lee Butler
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2005-06-07  Release 7.2.6                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Additional modifications were made to the benchmark suite including
-the addition of iterative frames that compare the stability of the
-performance results being observed.  The benchmark will continue to
-render frames of a designated time-complexity until the numbers are
-either stable or a maximum time window is reached.  The benchmark
-output now describes what the results mean and provides reference
-numbers for comparison.  The benchmark suite is also now included in
-the default installation as a command-line tool named 'benchmark'.
-
-In conjunction with the benchmark suite's requirements, some example
-geometry databases are now provided as part of the default install as
-are the corresponding reference benchmark images and logs.  They are
-intended to provide new users with sample geometry models to work
-with; and custom configurations may disable the installation of the
-additional geometry databases if so desired.
-

----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- 2005-05-11  Release 7.2.4                                      ---
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The release marks the beginning of a series of benchmark suite
-enhancements.  The benchmark suite will now iteratively increase the
-number of rays being shot until a minimum amount of time has elapsed
-per render.  The resulting computations provide a more stable
-ray-trace figure of merit (rtfm) and allows the benchmark tests to
-scale more effectively to increasingly higher-performance machines
-without requiring intervention.  The current default testing time
-window minimum of 60 seconds elapsed wallclock time implies that the
-benchmark suite will now take about 15 minutes to complete.

-
-This release marks the first source and binary distribution of BRL-CAD
-as an Open Source project.  With the exception of a few minor bug
-fixes, the majority of changes made available through this release
-that separate it from 7.0.0 are source code style adoptions and

-
-While with the new release numbering scheme it will be rare to see a
-release with an odd minor patch number, in many ways this is a major
-BRL-CAD release with the package entering the realm of Open Source
-software.  Likewise, the project moves a new public website as well as
-adopts a SourceForge project site.  With the migration of the project
-to SourceForge, new forums, mailing lists, bug tracking, feature
-requests, support mechanisms, task management, and news announcement
-channels all become instantly available.

-OPEN SOURCE
-
-This marks the first release of BRL-CAD as Open Source software.  It
-has taken several years and much hard work by many people to actually
-make this happen.  Special thanks goes out to the U.S. Army Research
-Laboratory for giving back to the community by allowing BRL-CAD to be
-released as Open Source software under the Open Source Initiative
-(OSI) approved NASA Open Source Agreement (NOSA).  The "release"
-solely exists in CVS -- binary and source distributions will remain
-unprepared.

-The majority of BRL-CAD is covered by the GNU General Public License.
-The BRL-CAD libraries (src/lib*) are all provided under the GNU Lesser
-General Public License.  The documentation is provided under the terms
-of the GNU Free Documentation License.  The build infrastructure and
-supporting scripts are covered by the Berkeley Software Distribution
-license or are in the public domain.  Given the vast size, complexity,
-and varied usage needs of BRL-CAD's source code and supporting data,
-all of the aforementioned licenses allow for a greater degree of
-flexibility in how they may be used.
-
-See the individual files in question and the COPYING file for more
-details.  The licenses are intended to foster and encourage
-improvements to BRL-CAD and the Open Source community as a whole
-without taking away from the package's heritage and history.  See the
-COPYING file for more details and information.

+INSTALLATION

-COMPILE AND INSTALL
-------------------
-
-See the INSTALL file for details on configuring, compiling, and
-installing BRL-CAD.  In order to compile and install BRL-CAD from a
-source distribution, the following steps may be taken for a full
-default install:
-
-  ./configure
-  make
-  make install
-
-If you do not have a configure script in your source tree (at the same
-level as this README file), you will need a relatively up-to-date
-version of the GNU Build System (autoconf, automake, & libtool)
-installed.  The autogen.sh script will need to be run successfully in
-order to generate the configure script first:
-
-  sh autogen.sh
-  ./configure
-  make
-  make install
-
-There are various options available to both configure and make.  Run
-"./configure --help" for a list of available configuration options.
-Users on multiprocessor systems will be able to speed up their builds
-by passing the -j option to make (e.g. make -j4, assuming GNU make).
-
-Once the build completes and assuming you have proper filesystem
-permissions, you should be able to begin the installation by running
-the "make install" .  By default, the package is configured to install
-entirely into /usr/brlcad/.
-
-You will need to add /usr/brlcad/bin to your path (or whatever was
-used as a --prefix during configure) in order for the BRL-CAD binaries
-to be in your path.
-
+./autogen.sh
+./configure
+make
+make install

 BENCHMARK
---------

-After the build successfully completes, you will be able to verify
-basic functionality by running the BRL-CAD Benchmark.  Running the
-benchmark suite is integrated into the build system such that any time
-after configure, you may run:
+See the paper in doc/benchmark.doc for information on analyzing the
+results of the benchmark tests.  Comparisons between various different
+computers are listed.

-  make benchmark
-
-If the build is successful, you will see "CORRECT" numbers and a
-performance summary at the end.  The "vgr" line effectively shows you
-approximately how much faster your machine is to a VAX 11/780.  After
-installing BRL-CAD, you may run the 'benchmark' tool as well to run
-the BRL-CAD Benchmark.
-
-See the paper in doc/benchmark.tr for information on analyzing and
-comparing the results of the benchmark tests in more detail.

-.SH NAME
-benchmark \- runs the BRL-CAD benchmark
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B benchmark
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-The benchmark suite will test the performance of a given system by
-iteratively rendering several well-known datasets into 512x512 images
-where performance metrics are documented and fairly well understood.
-The local machine's performance is compared to the base system (called
-VGR) and a numeric "VGR" mulitplier of performance is computed.  This
-number is a simplified metric from which one may qualitatively compare
-cpu and cache performance, versions of BRL-CAD, and different compiler
-characteristics.
-.PP
-There are several environment variables that will modify how the
-BRL-CAD benchmark behaves so that it may be run in a stand-alone
-environment:
-.PP
-\&
-.B RT
-\- the rt binary (e.g. ../src/rt/rt or /usr/brlcad/bin/rt)
-.br
-\&
-.B DB
-\- the directory containing the reference geometry (e.g. ../db)
-.br
-\&
-.B PIX
-\- the directory containing the reference images (e.g. ../pix)
-.br
-\&
-.B LOG
-\- the directory containing the reference logs (e.g. ../pix)
-.br
-\&
-.B CMP
-\- the name of a pixcmp tool (e.g. ./pixcmp)
-.br
-\&
-.B ELP
-\- the name of an elapsed time tool (e.g. ../sh/elapsed.sh)
-.br
-\&
-.B TIMEFRAME
-\- the minimum number of seconds each trace needs to take
-.br
-\&
-.B MAXTIME
-\- the maximum number of seconds to spend on any test
-.br
-\&
-.B DEVIATION
-\- the minimum sufficient % deviation from the average
-.br
-\&
-.B AVERAGE
-\- how many frames to average together
-.br
-\&
-.B DEBUG
-\- turn on extra debug output for testing/development
-.PP
-The \fITIMEFRAME\fR, \fIMAXTIME\fR, \fIDEVIATION\fR, and \fIAVERAGE\fR options control how the
-benchmark will proceed including how long it should take.  Each
-individual benchmark run will consume at least a minimum \fITIMEFRAME\fR of
-wallclock time so that the results can stabilize.  After consuming at
-least the minimum \fITIMEFRAME\fR, additional frames may be computed until
-the standard deviation from the last \fIAVERAGE\fR count of frames is below
-the specified \fIDEVIATION\fR.  When a test is run and it completes in less
-than \fITIMEFRAME\fR, the raytrace is restarted using double the number of
-rays from the previous run.  If the machine is fast enough, the
-benchmark may accelerate the number or rays being fired.  These
-additional rays are hypersampled but without any jitter, so it's
-effectively performing a multiplier amount of work over the initial
-frame.
-.PP
-Plese send your BRL-CAD Benchmark results to the developers along with
-detailed system information to <devs@brlcad.org>.  Include at least:
-.PP
-   0) Operating system type and version (e.g. uname -a)
-   1) Compiler name and version (e.g. gcc --version)
-   2) CPU configuration (e.g. cat /proc/cpuinfo or hinv or sysctl -a)
-   3) Cache (data and/or instruction) details for L1/L2/L3 and system
-      (e.g. cat /proc/cpuinfo or hinv or sysctl -a)
-   4) Output from this script (e.g. ./run.sh > run.sh.log 2>&1)
-   5) All generated log files (e.g. *.log* after running run.sh)
-   6) Anything else you think might be relevant to performance

-The only issue that comes to mind, is that newer versions of libtool
-have a bug where they do not install the .la files causing libtool to
-report warnings.  If you see messages in the output during install
-such as:
-
-libtool: install: warning: `../../src/libfb/libfb.la' has not been installed in `/usr/brlcad/lib'
-libtool: install: warning: `../../src/libbu/libbu.la' has not been installed in `/usr/brlcad/lib'
-
-Those warnings are not cause for concern.  The install is complete if
-that is all that is being reported.  Regardless, a simple workaround
-to quell the warnings is to manually copy all the .la files in one
-step to the install library directory:
-
-find . -name \*.la -exec cp {} /usr/brlcad/lib/. \;
-
-After that, a 'sudo make install' (or whatever means you use to go
-root) should work just fine and the warnings should go away.
