AVS 5 Source Code Download
 
 

The code has been tested for AVS on SGI (IRIX 6.*), SUN (Ultra60) and for AVS Express on Windows NT. Click here for the zipped file.

Windows users right click and choose "Save targer as..", SGI and Sun users hold the shift button and left click on the link

or right click and choose "save as..".

---

To Install:

 

SGI and Sun users unzip and untar using the following commands

>gunzip TrackRepository.tgz

The .tgz file will be converted into a .tar file. Then type

>tar -xvf TrackRepositry.tar

You will have the source code and the Makefiles for IRIX 6.* (the makefiles assume that you have installed AVS in "/usr/avs" directory).

The executables are obtained by compiling the source code.

You can manually load the modules into AVS or make changes in your .avsrc file so that AVS automatically loads them when it starts up.

When it begins execution, AVS searches for a startup file, which specifies which module libraries to load, the locations of various

directories, etc. Users can override the options in the system startup file (/usr/avs/runtime/avsrc) with a personal .avsrc file.

AVS looks for user .avsrc files in the order listed, using the first that it finds:

./.avsrc        (current diretory)

$HOME/.avsrc    (home directory)

The following is an example of .avsrc file. Users can change the directory name to the directory where the modules are located,

and simply save this file in your home directory.

Next time, when AVS starts up, it will automatically load all the modules into AVS module panel.
