| 10 |
systems and on Windows. |

About the Name |
| 14 |

Requirements |
| 21 |
------------ |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thuban requires the following software to be installed: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Python 2.2.1 http://www.python.org |
| 26 |
wxWindows 2.4.0.4 http://www.wxwindows.org |
| 27 |
wxPython 2.4.0.4 http://www.wxpython.org |
| 28 |
proj 4.4.5 http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/ |
| 29 |
SQLite 2.8.3 http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ |
| 30 |
PySQLite 0.4.3 http://pysqlite.sourceforge.net |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The versions given are the lowest versions that are known to work. for |
| 33 |
proj, sqlite and pysqlite somewhat older versions probably work as well. |
| 34 |
Note that the wxPython version must be the same as the wxWindows version |
| 35 |
(Some wxPython binary packages already contain the right wxWindows |
| 36 |
version) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Optional software: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
GDAL 1.1.8 http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/ |
| 41 |
for raster image (geo-tiff) support |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
psycopg 1.0.x http://initd.org/software/psycopg |
| 44 |
for postgis connections. Newer version probably also work |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Installation |
| 48 |
------------ |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Building Thuban (this compiles the extension modules but leaves them in |
| 51 |
a directory under build/): |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
python setup.py build |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
To setup Thuban to run directly from the source directory: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
python setup.py install_local |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
You can run this without running build first. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
To install Thuban: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
python setup.py install |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
for general information about the command line options of the setup.py |
| 69 |
script, run |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
python setup.py --help |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
If you build from CVS and want to have translated menus, dialogs etc. |
| 75 |
you have to build the message catalogs manually before you run setup.py. |
| 76 |
