Directories and files marked * above are created by make, and will therefore not exist immediately after svLis has been downloaded and before make has been run.
Svlis needs the OpenGL library to do graphics. On a Silicon Graphics computer you should have this; for Linux and for Suns see:
http://www.mesa3d.org/ and
http://www.opengl.org/
All systems also need the GL User Toolkit (GLUT), obtainable from the same websites. Install OpenGL and GLUT and get them working before making svLis.
To make svLis, edit the Makefile and do what it says at the top:
#
# The SvLis Geometric Modelling Kernel # ------------------------------------
#
#
# This Makefile is intended for GNU make (usually gmake on most systems)
# If you haven't got it, see http://www.gnu.org/
#
#
# ===========================================================================
#
# Uncomment (remove the # from the beginning of) the line for the type of
# machine you're on:
#
MACHINE = LINUX
MACHINE = SGI
MACHINE = SUN
# then type gmake.
#
# ============================================================================
#
.

.
.
That one would be for Linux.
To test svLis after gmaking it, run
bin/sv_tst_1
from this directory. Then run
bin/sv_tst_2
and then
bin/sv_tst_g
