Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

I see I didn't make clear that in these procedures ssh sets the DISPLAY variable on the Amazon Linux instance, so that one need only connect and ideally everything else just works. -- Randolph M. Fritz || +1 206 659-8617 || rmfri...@gmail.com On Sun, Apr 8, 2018 at 4:55 PM, Randolph M. Fritz wr

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

As far as specifying X11 location; if this is a need – and I have found it sometimes useful – the usual way this is done is via an X server running on your desktop system and ssh. The specifics depend on the details of the desktop system. If it is a Windows system, the inexpensive solution is the X

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

Hi Philip, don't worry about the "healthy state" of the executables. Make sure that you have oconv ("pre-sorting" your geometry), vwrays (generating rays for given projections), rtrace (the fundamental ray-tracer), rpict (a ray-tracer for images), rcalc (a calculator for tabular data), and the

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

X11 is just for rvu, the Radiance scene viewer, and holodeck. IMO rvu is very helpful for playing with options and for setting up views to be rendered, but if you're focused on point calcs you really don't need it. On 4/6/18, 9:03 AM, "Philip Schwarz" wrote: Hello Rob, wha

Hello Rob, what about the lib directory? Are you in a position to elaborate on Lars' following suggestion: "You may also remove all the example files from the lib directory" >if you're really only using oconv and rtrace, not only do you not need libtiff, Yes, initially at least, we plan to use ju

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

Hang on, if you're really only using oconv and rtrace, not only do you not need libtiff, you don't even need X11 at all. And the obj directory can be ignored as well, those are all sample scenes and stuff. On Fri, Apr 6, 2018 at 8:41 AM, Philip Schwarz < philip.johann.schw...@googlemail.com> wrote

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

Hi Philip, as far as I understand you, the aim is to get a minimalistic Radiance rendering node. For that, I would propose to exclude all the X11, tcl-tk and tiff stuff. You will probably not work interactively on the node but get the results transferred to a local work-station, where you coul

[Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

Hello, should I be concerned about the fact that installing libX11 and libX11-devel seems to have been sufficient in order to eliminate the X11-related compilation errors? I expected to also have to change the -L option to point to /usr/lib64 in the following set mach="-Dlinux -D_FILE_OFFSET_BI

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

I think you need at least the "xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.7” package, or whatever the current version is. That has at least some of the headers. You may need some other packages, but that’s a place to start. Might want to try asking on Amazon’s developer forums or Amazon technical support directly,

Re: [Radiance-dev] specifying X11 location

If you're compiling Radiance yourself, you not only need the X11 libs, but also the X11-development libs, as well as a few other build dependencies. Is there something like libX11-dev for Amazon LINUX? A On 04/04/18 18:54, Philip Schwarz wrote: Hello, In https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/blo

Hello, In https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/blob/master/noX11.help I see the following: If you have X11 installed but in a non-standard location, you only need to edit the rmake script to add the needed -I and -L options. I think that by 'add the needed -I and -L options." it really means modi
