2.4 Environment Variables
If your installation succeeded, you'll only need to modify DL_SHADERS_PATH
and DL_TEXTURES_PATH
variables to suit your needs. If for some reason 3Delight does not run properly, check if the variables described below are set to correct values.
You may also contact us at info@3delight.com if you experience difficulties.
DELIGHT
-
This variable must point to the root of your 3Delight installation.
DL_SHADERS_PATH
-
This variable contains search paths for 3Delight shaders. It must contains a colon (or semi-colon on Windows systems) separated list of directories. A default value is `.:$DELIGHT/shaders' (`$DELIGHT/shaders;.' in Windows).
DL_TEXTURES_PATH
-
Contains search paths for the textures used in the scenes rendered by 3Delight. The default is `.' (current directory).
DL_DISPLAYS_PATH
-
Contains search paths for 3Delight display drivers. The default is `$DELIGHT/displays'.
DL_ARCHIVES_PATH
-
Contains search paths for RIB archives. Used when loading RIBs using
ReadArchive
or DelayedReadArchive
.
DL_PROCEDURALS_PATH
-
Contains search paths for DSOs used by
DynamicLoad
as well as for programs used by RunProgram
.
DL_RESOURCE_PATH
-
Setting this environment variable is equivalent to set each of the `shader', `display', `texture' and `archive' paths individually.
DL_RIB_OUTPUT
-
This variable may contain the name of an output RIB file. You do not need to define this variable to use 3Delight. However, it may be useful if you want 3Delight to output the scene it renders. This variable is mainly used for debugging purposes.
INFOPATH
-
If you use
info
to view the online documentation, add
`$DELIGHT/doc/info' to this variable.
PATH
-
You may also want to make the 3Delight executables accessibles by adding `$DELIGHT/bin' to the this environment variable.
LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
-
If you are installing 3Delight on an IRIX system and you decided to configure your environment by hand, you'll have to make the `lib3delight.so' dynamic library visible to the program loader. One way to do this is to add `$DELIGHT/lib' to the
LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
environment variable.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-
If you are instsalling 3Delight on a Linux sytem and you decided to configure your environment by hand, you have to make the `lib3delight.so' dynamic library visible to the program loader. One way to do this is to add `$DELIGHT/lib' to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.
