1.1 Installation - installation preparations |
Under Linux:
tar xvfz fli4l-2.0.tar.gz
Under Unix:
gtar xvfz fli4l-2.0.tar.gz
If gtar is not existent at all, you may do the following:
gzip -d < fli4l-2.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Those who want to do the installation in an existing FLI4L directory, should call the script mkclean.sh afterwards :
cd fli4l-2.0 sh mkclean.sh
In the Windows environment the zipped tar archive may be extracted by using WinZIP. Please obey that files with sub-directories (check settings in WinZIP) will be extracted too. Besides that you will have to switch off the so called "Smart TAR cr conversion" . If this option is switched on, some of the files (which are important for correct function) will not be extracted correctly.
Alternatively you may use the program Powerarchiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com), which is as good as WinZip.
Follwing files will be installed in sub-directory fli4l-2.0/ :
