=========================================================================== README.RASS-OSX.361.txt =========================================================================== This is the Macintosh OS X P1 release of the RAMSES software, version 361. To install this software onto your machine for a single user 1. Execute the installation script by double clicking the file: install.RASS-OSX.361.command Troubleshooting: - The downloading may cause the installation script to become nonfunctional. If above step fails, i.e. you get an error message similar to this: Open Command File The .command file '.../install.RASS-OSX.361.command' could not open. Most likely it is not executable. < OK > you need first to make the file 'install.RASS-OSX.361.command' i.e. the installer file executable. Open the application Terminal, which resides in '/Applications/Utilities/' and type 'chmod 755 ' without the quotes and without pressing key return yet. Then drag and drop from the Finder the installer file onto the Terminal window. Finally press the RETURN key, which should make the installer file now executable. Try again as described above under step 1. - If you encounter permission errors, rerun the script in a Terminal window. Best go to the directory where the installer script resides by typing in the Terminal 'cd ' again without the quotes and without pressing key return yet. Then drag and drop from the Finder the directory icon onto the Terminal and press the RETURN key. The working directory should now be that directory. Then proceed with the installation with command 'sudo install.RASS-OSX.361.command' and enter your administrator password when prompted. To install the S-release add option S, to install the T-release add option T after above command. The S-release is a simple release of RASS only for PPC Macs made for the P1 compiler 8.2 and Xcode 2.5. It is only recommended if you wish to remain backward compatible with earlier P1 versions such as P1 8.2 and work exclusively on PPC Macs. The T-release is for the more recent P1 compilers such as 9.0.2 and is thought to be used on PPC Macs running under OS X 10.4.11 Tiger (T for Tiger). Since Tiger supports only Xcode up to 2.5 you need the T-release when working with the latest P1 compilers on such systems. All RASS libraries are universal binary and support full cross building among Intel and PPC Macs. You can install the T-release on top of the S-release (rerun the installer script with option T). For work under latest Intel Macs such as of this writing Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.x) and more recent versions of Xcode (as of this writing 3.2.6) use the standard release. All RASS libraries are universal binary and still support full cross building among Intel and PPC Macs. Note, universal binaries ('mk -u' or 'mk1 -u') made with the standard release run still under Tiger if made with the proper option ('mk -ut' or 'mk1 -ut'). You can install the standard release on top of the S- and T-release (rerun the installer script with no option). For P1 Modula-2 visit https://www.awiedemann.de/compiler/ For more information on RAMSES visit http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch and the home page of RAMSES: https://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/ramses/ and for the RASS specific home page https://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/ramses/ramses-software-layers/rass.html Note that all definition modules of the RASS software are identical to those of the entire RAMSES package and are available also at above web site (use link 'Reference'). If you use AlphaX and its M2 mode (recommended) then command clicking on any object brings you directly to the clicked's object definition on that website (More specifically: ctrl-command click to the definition module, mere command click to the quick reference definition). RAMSES stands for Research Aids for Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Systems and RASS is the RAMSES Simulation Server.
