To get ANUPlot running on Windows: 1) Download the ghc windows installer from the course website and install it. 2) Download ANUPlot.tgz from the course website and unpack it, perhaps to the Desktop. tgz is a compressed archive format, much like a zip file. You will need a utility like WinZip to unpack it. A free version if WinZip is available from http://www.winzip.com WinZip sometimes doesn't unpack empty directories. There should be an empty directory called ANUPlot-1.1\bin. If there isn't one, create it. 3) You will need to make some modifications to ANUPlot to get it to compile under windows. Download Display-win.hs and Control-win.hs, then copy them over the Display.hs and Control.hs files in ANUPlot-1.1\src\Graphics\Plot 4) Download glut32.dll and copy it to c:\windows\system32 5) Run the windows command shell by selecting START => Run, enter "cmd" into the dialog box and click ok. The windows command shell is much like the unix command shell except: * Use the command 'dir' instead of 'ls' * Use the '\' character instead of '/' to separate directories. 6) Use the command shell to change into the directory where you unpacked ANUPlot. 7) Compile and run one of the demos. The command line for this is similar to the one shown on the assignment sheet. except: * You might need to use an absolute path-name to the ghc binary. ie, replace 'ghc' by '\ghc\ghc-6.4.1\bin\ghc', or wherever you installed ghc to. * Use '\' instead of '/' See the screen shot for the command I used on my own windows machine. 8) All the demos should work under windows, with the exception 'Pillar.hs' and 'Catalog.hs'. These demos use textures and ANUPlot needs an external library called 'ImageMagick' to convert the texture files to the required format. There is a windows version of ImageMagick, but I haven't tested it.
