Mac OS X Installation Instructions
Installing from binaries
Double-click on disim_VERSION.dmg
Drag-and-drop the icons on the left on the icons on the right (effectively, copy Disim.app inside the /Applications folder and create a symbolic link to the Disim executable in the /usr/bin folder).
Close the Finder window and eject the dmg image.
Open a terminal and type:
disim
Installing from the source
Extract Disim in your favorite folder.
Make sure that gengetopt is installed on your system. To install gengetopt under MacOS, download and install the extremely useful Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/), then you can open a Terminal and type:
fink -b install gengetopt
To install Fink, it is necessary to install X-Code on your system: http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html.
If you want to use the graphical interface, make sure OpenGL and FLTK 1.1 are installed. To install FLTK, open a terminal and type:
fink -b install fltk-aqua
To install OpenGL, you need to install X-Code on your system. If you do not wish to use the graphical interface, you can specify it by modifying the Makefile.include file.
If you want to use the LUA scripting capabilities, Lua 5.1 must be installed. To install Lua, type:
fink -b install liblua5.1-dev
If you do not wish to use LUA, you can specify so in the Makefile.include file.
Open a terminal, navigate to the Disim folder and type
make
You can now start Disim with the command:
./disim
