To install SGI's Open Inventor

This manual is based upon information found here

Estimated time: 1 hour
Estimated time for me to figure it out: 4 hours

Download inventor from CVS (as of 5/2/2005) and apply the patch from the above page, mirred here. Note that this patch just changes files in apps/examples, make/ivcommondefs, and make/localrules.apple. Also, be sure to install the following fink packages: make, openmotif3, libjpeg, freetype2, and freetype2-dev.

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:oss.sgi.com:/cvs
cvs login      # (pw:cvs)
cvs checkout inventor
wget http://kevinbeason.com/scs/log/2006/ivpatch
patch -p 0 < ivpatch

Edit inventor/make/ivcommondefs to contain the following corrected definition:

IVAPPLOADDIR = $(IVROOT)/$(X11DIR)/lib/X11/app-defaults

Then configure, compile, and install inventor:

su
cd inventor
setenv IVROOT /usr/local/OpenInventor
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $IVROOT/usr/lib
setenv FREETYPE 1
make install

# to compile examples
cd apps/examples
make

To get fonts to work, extract Microsoft TrueType fonts (found in ~beason/c/data/mscorefonts.tar.gz) to /usr/share/data/fonts, and run the inventor font linking script:

mkdir /usr/share/data
mkdir /usr/share/data/fonts
scp username@hallway-a.csit.fsu.edu:~beason/c/data/mscorefonts.tar.gz .
tar xvzf mscorefonts.tar.gz
mv mscorefonts/* /usr/share/data/fonts
rmdir mscorefonts mscorefonts.tar.gz
inventor/libFL/freetype/linkTrueType.sh

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/OpenInventor/usr/bin
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/OpenInventor/usr/lib
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/OpenInventor/usr/man

Installing Pane

Edit /usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.3/c++/cmath, moving the two lines:

#undef isinf
#undef isnan

#if _GLIBCPP_USE_C99
namespace __gnu_cxx
{
...
}
#endif

Thanks, Garret.
