7-3-2 Setting up the Software


In this manual, the compiler (cc), the assembler (as) and the linker (ld) required to develop the application should be already installed. For details, see Chapter 1, Section 2 [N64 Emulator software installation] from the Programming Manual. (However, you do not need to install gvd debugger.)

1. The installation of N64 OS
Install the include file, library, microcodes and sample program required to use the N64 OS on the N64 application. After inserting the DAT tape, go to the appropriate directory on the console and enter

% tar xv

(contents of DAT are expanded to the directory).

Next click "Software Manager" from the "System" menu with the left mouse button and activate "Software Manager". After activation, designate the directory the contents of DAT were expanded to and click "Customize Installation" with the left mouse button.

The installable contents, will be displayed so after selecting all (check the Install field), push "Start." When the installation ends without error, the Status field changes from "New" to "Same Version."

The directory configuration after the installation will appear as seen below:

1. The Installation of PARTNER-N64 (SGI)
Install debugger for debugging the created software.

Insert the PARTNER-N64 (SGI) Disk into the CD drive. On the CD, the "tar" format has been set up. Decompress the file within the appropriate directory. After decompressing, the shell script file "ptinst" for the installation is created. Execute "ptinst" from the console (the standard place for the installation is "/usr/local/partner-net/n64").

% ptinst

PARTNER-N64 (SGI) is compatible with "Software Manager" starting from version 1.06.
