[edit] Manual installation

If your distribution doesn't provide a package, or you are interested in creating packages, the following instructions should be helpful.

These instructions will install RSL to /usr/ and AWeather to /usr/local/. If you wish to install them to different directories you may have to modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and/or PATH environment variables.

[edit] Dependencies

You'll need the following libraries installed, these will likely be available from your distributions package manager.

• jpeg (http://www.ijg.org/)
• hdf4 (http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/hdf4.html)
• libsoup >= 2.26 (http://www.gnome.org/)
• gtk+ >= 2.16 (http://www.gtk.org/)
• gtkglext (http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net/)

AWeather uses RSL (Radar Software Library) to access the Level II radar files. Note that there are several patches for RSL which are currently needed by AWeather.
