If this default path prefix -is proper, then execute: - - ./configure - -If another path prefix is required, then execute: - - ./configure --prefix=/my/path - -In either case, the directory of the prefix path must exist and be -writable by the installer. - -After executing configure, execute: - - make - make install - -The install target will create, if necessary, all required sub-directories. - -Windows Build -------------- - -PROJ.4 can be built with Microsoft Visual C/C++ using the makefile.vc -in the PROJ directory. First edit the PROJ\nmake.opt and modify -the INSTDIR value at the top to point to the directory where -the PROJ tree shall be installed. If you want to install into -C:\PROJ, it can remain unchanged. -Then use the makefile.vc to build the software: - -eg. -C:\> cd proj -C:\PROJ> nmake /f makefile.vc -C:\PROJ> nmake /f makefile.vc install-all - -Note that you have to have the VC++ environment variables, and path -setup properly. This may involve running the VCVARS32.BAT script out -of the Visual C++ tree. - -The makefile.vc builds proj.exe, proj.dll and proj.lib. - -It should also be possible to build using the Unix instructions -and Cygwin32, but this hasn't been tested recently. - - - --------------------------------------------------- - -Distribution files and format. ------------------------------- - -Sources are distributed in one or more files. The principle elements -of the system are in a compress tar file named `PROJ.4.x.tar.gz' where -"x" will indicate level.sub-level of the release. For U.S. users -interested in NADCON datum shifting procedures, additional files -containing conversion matricies are distributed with the name -`PROJ.4.x.y.tar' where y is an uppercase letter starting with "A." -These supplementary files will contain compressed files and thus -the tar file is not compressed. - -Interim reports on Rel. 4 proj are available in PostScript form as -*.ps.gz . New and old users are strongly recommended to carefully read -these manuals. They are supplements and NOT a replacement for the full -manual OF 90-284 (which new users should also obtain). - - --------------------------------------------------- - -Principle new aspects of system: --------------------------------- - -ANSI X3.159-1989 C code. Site must have ANSI C compiler and header files. - -Several method of determining radius from specified ellipsoid. - -Use of initialization files through +init=file:key. Default projection -specifications also may be defined in an ASCII file. - -+inv option REMOVED and -I may be used in its place. Use of invproj -alias of proj still functions as per Rel.3. - -+ellps=list and +proj=list REMOVED. Use respective -le and -lp. - -+units= to specify cartesian coordinate system units. To get list -use -lu. - --v added to dump final cartographic parameters employed. - -Addition of computing scale factors and angular distortion added through --S option. Valuable for designing new projection parameter details. - --V option which verbosely lists projected point characteristics. - -Programmers may use projection library with calls to pj_init, -pj_fwd, pj_inv and pj_transform. - -Program nad2nad for conversion of data to and from NAD27 and NAD83 -datums. - -Program cs2cs for converting between coordinate systems, with optional -datum translation. - -------------------------------------------------------------- - -Things currently left undone: ----------------------------- - -proj_def.dat NOT fully in place. Needs additional settings for -many of the projections. Probably will not be completed until main -manual rewritten. |
