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 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 (English,
French, etc.) as well as a few configuration files like the Thot registry
(unix-thot.rc and win-thot.rc).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.
