Reprap Host Software README
Date: 03 November 2008
Author: Jonathan Marsden
Version: 20081103
This is an attempt at a quick package of the Reprap host software.
It should run on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh.
CHANGES:
Several bugs have been fixed since the last release, though plenty
remain, as usual!
Also, the software is now run so it can find the libraries it needs at
a fixed location (/usr/share/java in Linux, %programfiles%\Java\shared
in Windows). This change is made in preparation for more automated
installation, also means the zip file needs to be unpacked and then
its contents moved to a fixed location:
/usr/lib/reprap/ # For Linux
or
C:\Program Files\Reprap # For Windows
So that (for example) you will have a file /usr/lib/reprap/reprap.jar
or C:\Program Files\Reprap\Reprap.jar
If you need to install it somewhere else, edit the reprap-host or
reprap-host.bat file appropriately.
DOCUMENTATION:
See http://www.reprap.org for project details.
See http://www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/DriverSoftware for the closest
thing we have to a user manual for this host software at this stage.
Please use http://forums.reprap.org to ask about this package. The
Software forum is probably the right place to ask.
NOTES:
(1) You need a working Java 1.5.0 or later JRE to run this.
(2) You need to manually install the Java3D libraries.
(3) You need to manually install the rxtx libraries ( http://www.rxtx.org )
(4) You need to manually install the .jar file from j3d.org, which
you can download from
http://reprap.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/reprap/trunk/reprap/host/lib/j3d-org-java3d-all.jar
until we have a better idea of where this can be obtained!
KNOWN BUGS:
(1) This software still uses too much memory, but is a lot better than
it used to be.
(2) Installing the libraries by hand is a bit awkward.
(3) Probably many other bugs, less serious than (1) above! See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=159590 for more.
(4) This package isn't a nice friendly installer. One is planned...!
