Install on systems GNU/Linux, BSD, ...

FísicaLab 0.2.2 is available in the following distros:
  • Gentoo
  • OpenBSD

Donwload the package:

FísicaLab need GNUstep (See Guide to install GNUstep) and GSL libraries (the dev headers too). With these requirements, on a terminal cd to the source directory and run the GNUstep script:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

(in some systems . /usr/share/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh, or depending of GNUstep installation)

then execute ./configure and make and, with root permissions:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

make install

It is expected that the GSL headers are in the path /usr/include and libraries in /lib/gsl. Otherwise, modify the file GNUmakefile.preamble according to the proper paths. To run the application type openapp FisicaLab.

If you aren't using the WindowMaker desktop, we recommend install the theme Silver a more suited theme to other desktops. Once installed you can set this theme on SystemPreferences.app, or in a terminal with:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSTheme Silver

Or, if you wish that only FísicaLab use this theme:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

defaults write FisicaLab GSTheme Silver

In desktops like GNOME, KDE, ... we also recommend this configuration:

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSAppOwnsMiniwindow NO

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSSuppressAppIcon YES
