OpenSees - Release 1
This is the first release of the OpenSees framework. Feedback and
comments would be greatly appreciated.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
UNIX: You need to create a Makefile.def for your system. We have no automatic
configuration at this time. You should copy one of existing Makefile.def.* in
the directory MAKES to this directory and rename it Makefile.def. Then
typically all you need to do is modify the $HOME variable. You also need a
bin and lib directory in $HOME. Then type 'make'.
Note: Depending on your system you may need to install some additional
packages, i.e. tcl/tk and mysql.
WINDOWS: go the Win32 and open up the vc++ project. then do a build once loaded.
Note: You do need to have installed tcl/tk.
