Installation of rxn tools

How to install the distribution

• Download the distribution rxn-0.1.1 here.
  

• Decompress it:

  tar zxvf rxn-0.1.1.tar.gz

How to configure it

•   The directory where the packages will be installed is called herafter <roxane>. By default, it is the current directory:

  ./configure  --prefix=<roxane> \
               –-bindir=<where you want to put the rxn scripts> 
  

• The default value for bindir is the directory <roxane>/bin.

Example:


./configure --prefix=$HOME/roxane -–bindir=$HOME/bin

• If you want to specify the Ressource Descriptor File Server  (rdfs), use the option 

      –-with-rdfs=<url or directory, from where you get the rdf> 

  Example:
  

   ./configure --prefix=$HOME/roxane \
               –-bindir=$HOME/bin \
               --with-rdfs=http://www-sop.inria.fr/galaad/software/roxane/rdfs
  

• In order to build these commands type:

  make
  

  You can test that the command is running by:

  rxn -v

• To run correctly this command, you need to have xsltproc available.
  

How to get a new package

•  If you want to import  a new package called <pkg>, or a new version of <pkg>, type:
  

  rxn -i <pkg>

  It will incorporate the latest version of the package named <pkg> locally and run the configuration process. If other packages on which <pkg> depends, are missing, they will also be installed.
  
  Example:

  rxn -i synaps

• You can also incorporate the package from a Ressource Descriptor File, named eg. <rdf>.xml:
  

  rxn -i <rdf>.xml

-l       : list all the packages which have been successfully installed.
-w       : display the available packages, installed in a web brouser.
-d <pkg> : delete the package named <pkg>.
-log <pkg>: display the log file of the installation of <pkg>.
-config  : output the environment.
-make    : run a make command in the <roxane> directory.
-v       : display the configuration used by the command rxn.

•  Get the distribution by cvs:
  

  cvs -d :ext:<your_login>@lipforge.ens-lyon.fr:/local/chroot/cvsroot/roxane  co roxane
  

• or update your current version:

  cvs update -P -d

• Build the configure files:

  ./make_init

• Configure it (see above).
  Example:
  

   ./configure –-bindir=$HOME/bin
               --with-rdfs=./rdfs
