Appendix C: Installation Notes for Unsupported Systems

The following is a list of helpful hints when porting LAS to a computer that is not supported. This list was compiled from the phone support given by EDC personnel to sites that were porting LAS to an unsupported system; therefore, this list is not comprehensive.

Note:

This list does not reflect PSU modifications to the EDC distribution of LAS 7.4, nor does it address possible changes to TAE.

1. Some of the source code has been placed within ifdef statements. As a consequence, files with ifdef statements need to be edited in order to build on an unsupported computer. The following files are known to be likely to require editing:

        las/base/include/imageio.h
        las/base/include/imageio.mfi
        las/base/include/sysdef.h
        las/base/include/sysdef.mfi
        las/base/include/tapeio.h
        las/base/include/tapeio.mfi
        las/base/include/typlim.h
        las/base/include/typlim.mfi
        las/base/support/ddr/c_comsys.c
        las/base/support/ddr/c_getsys.c
        las/base/support/pixman/c_pxsys.c
        las/base/support/util/c_sysset.c
   

2. The supports for the tapeio modules may have to be revised for the specific drivers of the unsupported system.
