---

2.  Installation Instructions

2.1  Source

It's assumed you know what your doing if your using the source patch!

2.2  Linux Installation

Download the Linux version weld-2.0.bin and from a shell do:

    chmod u+rx weld-2.0.bin
    weld-2.0.bin --weld-install

and follow the instructions.

The linux version is statically linked and has been validated to work on at least the following systems:

• Redhat 7.3 - i586
• SUSE 10.0 - i586

The installer will update the PATH in users the .bashrc, but you will need to source this, exit and open a new shell window and/or restart X11 to see any effect.

2.3  Windows Installation

Download the Windows version weld-2.0.exe and open a cmd window. Go to the downloaded directory (or use Run) to execute:

    weld-2.0.exe --weld-install

and follow the instructions.

The installer will update the PATH, but you will need to exit and open a new cmd window to take effect.

The windows version has been validated to work with Win XP.

3.  The Installer

The process for installing weld generally requires running weld --weld-install to invoke the installer, which should appear thus:

4.  Post Installation

After installation, the downloaded copy may be deleted. The installer will also optionally start wted on the unpacked source, allowing immediate use of <Shift-F5> to test running the debugger and error handling.

Note, the installer will append to the PATH, and so any older versions need to be manually renamed or deleted.

4.1  Installed Commands

The installation of Weld adds up to five commands to the destination directory:

• weld - the binary application.
• wted - link for running ted under weld.
• wtdb - link for running tdb under weld.
• ted - link to ted.tcl for running ted under wish
• tdb - link to tdb.tcl for running tdb under wish

The last 2 commands are available on Unix systems on which wish is installed, and unpack was on (the default). The install directory will be added to the path for windows and Unix systems using bash.
