Hugin v 0.9 ALPHA

This is the first public release of Hugin. This is an ALPHA-version, which means that it contains lots of bugs, and there are many missing features. See The Hugin Homepage for more details of what is missing and which known bugs there are.

As this is only an alpha-version of Hugin, things may presently be a little awkward and slow. This will not be the case for the final version.

Instructions

The release consits of a tar-file, containing a binary version of Hugin, a sample odinrc-file and a helpfile.

The binary

See the specific platform for info.

The helpfile

The whereabouts of the helpfile is determinded using the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environmentsetting. If you want to use the helpsystem, you must make the path in XUSERFILESEARCHPATH point to Hugin.hlp.

A sample situation

Lets say that Hugin.hlp resides in /tmp/Hugin.hlp. The XUSERFILESEARCHPATH should then contain /tmp/%N%S.

When X looks for files using the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, %N is replaced with the name of the application (i.e. Hugin), and %S is replaced by a suffix. In Hugin's helpfile's case, this suffix is .hlp.

You must make sure that other parts of the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH does NOT point to Hugin itself (i.e. the binary) before another part of XUSERFILESEARCHPATH points to Hugin.hlp. This would make Hugin try to read itself as the helpfile. Which currently doesn't work out very well.

The odinrc-file

odinrc is Hugin's configurationfile. It should be located at ~/.Hugin/odinrc. If ~/.Hugin/ doesn't exist when Hugin is started, Hugin will make a default one. In the alphaversion, this may have to be edited. I recommend using the sample file that is included in the tar-archive, and editing that one after putting it in ~/.Hugin/odinrc.

Downloading the alphas

For now, there will be an alpha version for just two platforms:

Linux, X11R5, a.out
DEC Alpha Digital Unix, X11R5

Linux

For now, Hugin will require these shared libs:

libX11.so.3
libXpm.so.3
libXt.so.3
libc.so.4

If you haven't got some of these libs, either get them, or wait until we get static versions of them, so we can link them statically into Hugin.

Here's the shared Xpm-lib we're using too, in case you haven't got it yourself (make your LD_LIBRARY_PATH point to it): libXpm.so.3

Digital Unix

This is probably the most stable of the two alphaversions. This is because we use Digital Unix to develop and test Hugin. The Digial Unix-version will require these shared libs:

libXt.so
libX11.so
libc.so

If you haven't got some of these libs, either get them, or wait until we get static versions of them, so we can link them statically into Hugin.
