Dear Experts,
Could someone direct me to installation instructions for pre-releases that were downloaded from github?
I am able to download and compile pre-releases (e.g., version 5.0.a.3) without any apparent compiling errors, but when I try to use that installation, there are missing programs. How does one use (select and combine?) the appropriate release/pre-release files to compile a fully functional program suite? Presently, I need the original functionality plus the ability to compute caustics (making the latest official release insufficient).
I am sure this is a common issue, but without access to a convenient source of organized information (i.e., a wiki), I find myself fumbling with Google searches and generally lost.
Thanks again,
Chris
What's missing? There may be some missing teeth in the CMake files,
resulting in incomplete installs. To clarify, I assume you want to use the
photon map stuff.(?) Those new programs (mkpmap, etc) are getting built,
but perhaps the "install" target is not quite right. So: what platform are
you trying to do this on, what is your workflow, and what is missing or
not working? Apologies that there aren't instructions for using the CMake
stuff in the Radiance source; it's on the list of things to do. Basically
you use CMake to generate the makefiles, and then just use make like
normal.
You could also use the "makeall" csh script which comes with the source
and is maintained by Greg (and probably Roland now too). That guy has has
always been pretty bulletproof on unix systems. Andy's YouTube vid on
installing Radiance on OSX demonstrates the use of the makeall script; the
process is basically the same for Linux:

Hello Rob, developers,
Thanks for your helpful comments. I managed to install rad4R0supp.tar.gz and radiance-HEAD.tgz. However, I had to install XQuartz to avoid errors. Still lots of installation warnings though.
Also, the github releases seem to be different than the releases mentioned above. Other than warnings, my standard (non-github) installations seem to be working. I might benefit from using CMake, but I don't know how to use it.
As long as the warnings are non-problematic, I am happy with the installations that seem to be working.
Thanks for your help!
-Chris
Installation output, in case the devs find them useful..
1) Radiance 4.2 installation (output: www.kallie.org/RadInfo/Rad42info.txt )
2) Radiance-4.2.2.tar.gz did not have a lib folder, so I tried adding one, but it installed with errors (output: www.kallie.org/RadInfo/Rad422info.txt )
3) rad4R0supp.tar.tz and radiance-HEAD.tgz (output: www.kallie.org/RadInfo/Rad50info.txt )

It's an interesting bunch of warnings. There was even an undiscovered bug in there for a never-used feature of ies2rad...
Seems like you still aren't compiling the HEAD, however. I don't think you got the photon map from the version of the sources you used. You need the latest.
Cheers,

The head version of Radiance is available via CVS with the command:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at radiance-online.org:/home/cvsd/radiance
co ray
IIRC going to directory "ray" and issuing the command "cvs update" will
update the directory to the latest version.
For more on the CVS server, see:

Thanks Greg and Randolph,
For starters, sorry Greg: In my haste I screwed up the 5.0 installation. Hope I got it right this time: http://www.kallie.org/RadInfo/Rad50info2.txt
Still digesting the rest of this info...Thanks again!
