FACELIFT Installation
The program is distributed as source code in the form of a tar file
for Unix/Linux platforms.
You can obtain the tar file (~800K) via
anonymous ftp.
Compressed (~240K) and
gzipped (~125K)
tar files are also available.
- Copy the file faceliftsrc.tar into an empty directory, for example
/usr/local/src/facelift
- Untar the file with the command tar -xvf facelift.tar
- Edit the Makefile and (un)comment the lines for your operating system.
- Compile the source code by typing make all
- Generate with your editor a file /usr/local/bin/facelift (or somewhere else
in your searchpath). This file should contain two lines:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/src/facelift/facelift "$@"
- Make this file executable: chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/facelift
- You should now be able to use the "command-line" version of facelift.
The command-line version of FACELIFT can also be run via a
Graphical User Interface,
which makes use of the Tcl/Tk library. Please make then sure,
that a recent version of this library is installed on your system (the program
was tested with version 8.3).
- Copy the file facelift.tcl into a directory, for example
/usr/local/src/facelift
- Generate with your editor a file /usr/local/bin/faceliftgui.
(or somewhere else in your searchpath).
This file should contain two lines:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/src/facelift/facelift.tcl "$*"
- Make this file executable: chmod ugo+x /usr/local/bin/faceliftgui
- You should now be able to use the "GUI" version of facelift. Note:
not all commands of the "command-line" version are available in the GUI. But
the most important commands should be there.
