<h1>Downloading and Installation</h1>

<p>This package has been tested only under a Linux system. It is required

that <tt>shapelib</tt> (version 1.2.10 was the one used) is installed,

otherwise it cannot be compiled.

<p><tt>gpsmanshp</tt> and <tt>gpstr2shp.c</tt> are distributed under the

<a href="GPL.txt">GNU Public License</a> with absolutely no warranties.

<h2><a name="id1">Downloading</a></h2>

<p>

<tt>gpsmanshp</tt> can be downloaded as

<ul><li>Version 1.2

<ul><li>a <a href="gpsmanshp_1.2.tgz">tar gzip archive</a>,

<li>a <a href="gpsmanshp_1.2.zip">zip archive</a>.

</ul>

<li>Version 1.1

<ul><li>a <a href="gpsmanshp_1.1.tgz">tar gzip archive</a>,

<li>a <a href="gpsmanshp_1.1.zip">zip archive</a>.

<li>a <a href="gpsmanshp_1.1-1_i386.deb">Debian Linux package</a> for

use in PC platforms with <b>Tcl/Tk 8.4</b>,

<li>RPM packages for use in Red Hat and Mandrake Linux (check also

<a href="http://erizo.ucdavis.edu/~dmk/software/RPMS">David Kaplan's

repository</a> where

RPMs for the <tt>shapelibe</tt> are available)

<ul><li><a href="gpsmanshp-1.1-0.fdr.1.i386.rpm">binary package</a> for

use in PC platforms with <b>Tcl/Tk 8.3</b>,

<li><a href="gpsmanshp-1.1-0.fdr.1.src.rpm">source package</a>

</ul>

<p>Also available is <a href="gpstr2shp.c"><tt>gpstr2shp.c</tt></a>, a

program that translates GPStrans data files into Shapefile ones.

<h2><a name="id2">Installation</a></h2>

<p>The enclosed <a href="Makefile"><tt>Makefile</tt></a> defines <tt>TCLVERSION</tt>

and assumes that

<ul><li><tt>tclsh</tt> is called as <code>tclsh$(TCLVERSION)</code>,

<li>the Tcl include directory is

<code>/usr/include/tcl$(TCLVERSION)</code>,

<li>the Tcl library is <code>libtcl$(TCLVERSION)</code> and the <tt>shapelib</tt> library is <code>libshp</code>,

<li><code>/usr/lib/tcl$(TCLVERSION)</code> is in the Tcl pre-defined

list <code>$auto_path</code> (so that packages in this directory and its

sub-directories are visible from Tcl) and that this package will

be installed in it.

</ul>

<p>Using <tt>make</tt> will (in a Unix/Linux system) create the library

<code>gpsmanshp.so</code>, while <tt>make install</tt> creates the

corresponding Tcl index <code>pkgIndex.tcl</code> and copies these 2 files to

the installation directory, and <tt>make clean</tt> removes the binary

files and the index file.

<p><b>Warning for users of Tcl8.4</b> There is a bug in Tcl8.4.4 that

prevents the creation of the Tcl index <code>pkgIndex.tcl</code>. To avoid

the following <a href="tmp/package-8.3.tcl"><tt>package-8.3.tcl</tt></a> file (from

Tcl8.3) is needed, and should be used with this <a href="tmp/Makefile"><tt>Makefile</tt></a>.
