DOWNLOAD
A self-extracting binary distribution (including documentation) of the whole GILDAS package is available in the download area for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Seven. Just pick the last release named:
gildas-win-mmmyya.msi (Sources and documentation)
|
where mmm are the 3 first letters of the current month, yy are the last two digits of the current year and a a letter defining the minor version of the monthly release: a for the initial monthly release, b for the monthly release with the first bug fix, c for the monthly release with the second bug fix, and so on.
Then follow this guide to install it. This version is supported on a best effort basis only.
Gildas is available as a package for Fink. Step-by-step installation instructions for users that are new to Fink are available in this document. This is the recommended way to install Gildas under Mac OSX.
This package is maintained by Sebastien Maret on a regular basis. Usually the Fink package is updated a few days after a source release, so that the latest functionalities or bug fixes in Gildas are quickly available to Mac users. Please send questions and problems regarding this Fink installation package to Sebastien Maret. Questions, comments and bugs about Gildas itself should be sent to the GILDAS team.
As an alternate solution, it is possible to install first Gildas dependencies using MacPorts. You will find the MacPorts dmg image on its website.
If you have problem with rsync when running "sudo port selfupdate", you can modify the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf by replacing the line:
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]
|
with:
#rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]
http://www.macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz [default] |
and run "sudo port sync" instead of "sudo port selfupdate".
shell> sudo port install gcc45
shell> sudo port install gtk2 |
Since june 2011, use:
shell> sudo port select gcc # show available arguments
shell> sudo port select gcc mp-gcc45 |
instead of:
shell> sudo port install gcc_select
shell> gcc_select mp-gcc45 # possible arguments available with ~gcc_select -l~ |
Then you can follow the standard steps below to compile Gildas from the sources.
UNIX/Linux version of GILDAS are distributed only as sources because binaries are not portable (due to the many different possible combinations of processors, operating system and compilers). We thus tried to ease building as much as possible: If GILDAS dependencies are correctly installed, building the binaries should just need the following sequence of commands
shell-prompt> gunzip gildas-src-mmmyya.tar.gz
shell-prompt> tar -xvf gildas-src-mmmyya.tar shell-prompt> cd gildas-src-mmmyya shell-prompt> source admin/gildas-env.sh shell-prompt> make shell-prompt> make install |
Exactly the same sequence of command should be used for Mac OSX in case the binary distribution does not match your needs.

Daily releases are there just as a convenience for beta testers. We strongly discourage standard user to get them.
In contrast with executables, compiled PDF and HTML documentations are inherently portable. We thus also distribute them (though separately from sources).

where mmmyya has the same meaning as above.
