Notes for Antiprism 0.19.1
--------------------------

The 0.19.1 release includes changes to allow building with GCC 4.3.

The 0.19 release includes: a new program to investigate Bravais
lattices (by Roger Kaufman); a new program for the optimised
generation of Waterman polyhedra (by Roger Kaufman); some minor
feature additions; and some bug fixes.

General
-------

Antiprism is a collection of programs for generating, manipulating,
transforming and viewing polyhedra

   http://www.antiprism.com/

This is a beta release. The programs have not had wide use
and probably contain a number of bugs. Please let me know
if you come across any bugs, or anything not working as
documented.

There are two release files.

   antiprism-0.xx.tar.gz   - source code only
   antiprism-0.xx-win.zip  - source code and Windows executables

The Windows executables are in the bin directory, and do not need
to be installed. To access the resources, set the ANTIPRISM_DATA
environment variable to the path of the 'share' directory. In a
DOS box the command would be something like

   set ANTIPRISM_DATA="c:\some\dir\antiprism-0.xx\share"


Building
--------

These are instructions for building from source. They aren't
needed to run the Windows executables.

Antiprism uses the autotools build system. The programs can be built
with

   ./configure
   make

and installed with (as superuser)

   make install-strip

See the INSTALL file for more details.

The antiview viewer depends on GLUT, which is installed
separately.
