ClearToolSuite Installation and Usage HOWTO ########################################### This document explains how to set up your environment in order to use the Win32 executables of the package ClearToolSuite provided by the setup program ClearToolSuiteSetup-.exe. 1 Download and install the package documentation and executable files ===================================================================== - Download the Win32 package installer LibStmCppSetup-.exe from SysToMath (see http://www.SysToMath.com/etc/html/libraries.html). - Environment Variable LOCROOT This environment variable shall reside in the system environment (Settings, Control Panel, System, Enhanced, Environment, System Variables). As the Win32 executables and DLLs are installed in %LOCROOT%\bin\w32, it is recommended to add the value %LOCROOT%\bin\w32 to the system path. This has the advantage that all programs and DLLs located in %LOCROOT%\bin\w32 are found without stating an explicit directory path. It is further recommended that %LOCROOT% does not contain spaces and target an initially empty directory on a partition with at least 4 GB of free space. The directory %LOCROOT% shall be the installation path of all SysToMath packages installed on the system. - Install the package with the installation path %LOCROOT% by executing the Win32 package installer ClearToolSuiteSetup-.exe. 2 Download and install the SysToMath package sources (optional) =============================================================== - Download the Win32 package installer MakePkgSetup-.exe from SysToMath (see http://www.SysToMath.com/etc/html/libraries.html). - Install the SysToMath package builder package MakePkg with the installation path %LOCROOT% by execuing MakePkgSetup.exe - Download the SysToMath package source archive ClearToolSuiteSrc-.tgz from SysToMath (see http://www.SysToMath.com/etc/html/libraries.html). - Environment Variable DEVLROOT This environment variable shall reside in the system environment (Settings, Control Panel, System, Enhanced, Environment, System Variables). %DEVLROOT% shall be different from %LOCROOT% but may be a subdirectory of it. It is further recommended that %DEVLROOT% does not contain spaces and target an initially empty directory on a partition with at least 4 GB of free space. - Expand the package source archive into the directory %DEVLROOT% or into a subdirectory thereof. For the correct functioning of the command makepkg it is important that all SysToMath package source archives are installed somewhere in the tree rooted by %DEVLROOT%. - Read the file ReleaseHowto.txt of the package source archive to learn about the procedures necessary to maintain and build the package.
