Install Compile mMosaic

Installing from binaries

Get the binary of last release . Gunzip it and move it in a file named /usr/local/bin/mMosaic. That's all.

Compile from sources

Before compiling, you need to get some library: jpeg-v6a, pnglib-0.99d and zlib-1.0.9 and lesstif-82, if Motif-1.2 is not available on your system.

Edit the Makefile at root of source tree. Adjust compiler, options and path for library depending of your system. If you edit some source, you MUST 'make clean'.
Type 'make' and copy src/mMosaic in /usr/local/bin.
For multicasters only, copy plugins/sdr2.plugin.S53.html.udp.mMosaic to $HOME/.sdr/plugins

Set your WWW_HOME environment variable and run.

The multicast option

If you don't know what is multicast, don't use it. Try to learn!. Here are 2 good starting point:
- French/English lesson, uptodate pointer, howto.
- Lot of uptodate pointer

Configure with plugins (experimental)

Got the two plugins. Mpegtv is a video mpeg player with sound and gifview(part of gifslice) is a gifanimator. Install mtvp and gifview in /usr/local/bin/. Add to your PATH /usr/local/bin.

Return to mMosaic source directory. Edit the makefile and set:

   customflags = -DOBJECT
   make clean ; make
   cp src/mMosaic /usr/local/bin

Go to plugins/examples Edit Makefile and install plugins.

   make
   make install

and now test you must see the animated earth and rolled text. Clic on WalkOfLife. You must see the video. For video you MUST have a good bandwith, at least 300kbits/s.
