+Pre-alpha snapshots of fGIS source tree do not include correct +install target in makefile. +
+So, you must install it by hand. Source tree is organized such way that +fGIS can be loaded directly from compilation directory. +
+fGIS library directory should reside somewhere Tcl can find its packages +i.e. as subdirectory of one of directories in tcl_pkgPath. +
+Directory tree should have following structure: +
+ fgis + | + +-pkgIndex.tcl + +-fgis.so (fgis.dll) + +-fgis.rc + +-tcl/ + | | + | +- various scripts + | + +--colors/ + | | + | +-color palettes (*.clr) + | + +--symbols/ + | + +-- symbol files (*.sym) + ++ +fGIS initialization code uses some heuristics to find where its support +files are located, but sureest method is to set Tcl variable +fGIS_HOME to the top of fGIS library directory before loading dynamic +library. +
+your pkgIndex.tcl can look as +
+package ifneeded Fgis 1.0 {set fGIS_HOME /usr/local/lib/fgis; load /usr/local/lib/fgis/fgis.so}
+
+
+Directory tcl in fgis source tree contain two executable scripts -
+mapview and hypermap. They are sample fGIS
+applications. In Unix they can be easily moved to any directory in your
+PATH - with correctly set up pkgIndex.tcl they'll find support files
+anywhere. On windows they should be renamed to mapview.tcl and
+hypermap.tcl so they could be started with double click.
