Downloading Binary and Source Versions:
LisaEm is available for download from http://lisaem.sunder.net/downloads.html
Pre-Compiled versions of LisaEm are available for Mac OS X (intel and PPC), win32, and
Ubuntu Linux. Note that due to the variation between Linux distributions, it is recommended
to compile your own version for your system from source.
Some Linux distributions may provide precompiled packages and binaries for their
distribution. If these are available, and you prefer to use them, use your distro's preferred
installation method (i.e. apt-get install or rpm -ihv and so forth.)
If LisaEm is not provided for your platform in binary form, you can compile your own version,
provided you have proper development environment/software including wxWidgets 2.8, the
GNU C compiler toolchain, the bash shell, the netpbm package, and other standard open
source tools available on most open source systems.
Compiling LisaEm for your system:
Prerequisites:
On Unix, BSD, and Macintosh systems:
You'll need to download, compile, and install wxWidgets 2.8.4 from http://www.wxwidgets.org.
and the netpbm package for your system.
NOTE: For Macintosh, you'll need to edit wxWidgets as follows before compiling wxWidgets
or the graphics display by LisaEm may not work properly. For versions 1.0.0 and later of
LisaEm, this is no longer required, but may cause performance issues on some machines.
in your wxWidgets directory, edit the file include/wx/mac/carbon/chkconf.h
change the line with '#define wxMAC_USE_CORE_GRAPHICS 1'
to '#define wxMAC_USE_CORE_GRAPHICS 0'
(Many thanks to Brian Foley for finding this!)
On Microsoft Windows systems:
You'll need to install both Cygwin and the wxDev-Cpp 6.10-2 environment. Download wxDev-
CPP 6.10-2 from http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ and install it in c:\wxDev-Cpp. Do NOT allow
the installer to install it underneath the C:\Program Files directory. The space between
“Program” and “Files” will cause issues that cannot be easily resolved with the build script.
wxDev-Cpp was chosen since it contains both wxWidgets and the MINGW gcc/g++ compiler
toolchain, however, Cygwin and its netpbm package are required for the build script.
The Cygwin environment can be downloaded from http://cygwin.com. When you install
Cygwin, be sure to enable the netpbm graphical tools. The bash shell should be installed by
default, but you should check to make sure that it is enabled.
