Below is the picture of the whole tree built from the source archives for Amaya.
We assume that the right archive needed has been fetched from W3C or INRIA
servers, namely and stored in /tmp :
amaya-src-yyy.tar.gz
(where yyy is the Amaya version number).
The archive amaya-src-yyy.tar.gz, allows you
only to build the Amaya without Java support.
Here is a short table of compatibles versions of Thot and Amaya:
The Amaya compilation differs on PC/Windows
platforms. See Compiling Amaya On Windows NT
for more information on how to compile and install Amaya.
On Unix platforms, the tree is created by invoking the following commands in
the directory of choice (it will create the Amaya sub-directory)
:
gunzip -c /tmp/amaya-src-yyy.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Be sure to have plenty of room available, compiling a debug version of Amaya can use up to 100 Mbytes of disk space. A non-debug one shouldn't use more than 50 Mbytes.
The tree is made of (from top to bottom):
amaya directory contains the amaya application
code.
thotlib directory contains the Thot library sources. The headers
defining the interfaces exported by the library are in the
include sub-directory.
batch directory contains the sources for the schema compilers.
font directory contains a few X-Windows specific fonts needed by
amaya.
dicopar directory hold the dictionnaries and hyphenation rules.
config contains all the dialogs messages files both for english
and french, as well as a few configuration files like the Thot registry (stored in file thot.ini).
libjpeg and libpng contains the sources of two
graphic libraries needed by Thot toolkit.
libwww is a slightly patched version of the latest
version of the WWW Library.
Amaya uses autoconf to to set-up the compilation environment and build the binaries on Unix platforms. See next step Compiling Amaya with autoconf for more information on how to compile and install Amaya on Unix platforms.
