3DLDF is available for downloading from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/3dldf.
The official 3DLDF website is
http://www.gnu.org/software/3dldf.
The "tarball", i.e., the compressed archive file
3DLDF-1.1.5.1.tar.gz unpacks into a directory called
/3DLDF-1.1.5.1/.
On a typical Unix-like system, entering the following commands at the command line in a shell will unpack the 3DLDF distribution. Please note that the form of the commands may differ on your system.
gunzip 3DLDF-1.1.5.1.tar.gz
tar xpvf 3DLDF-1.1.5.1.tar
The p option to tar ensures that the files will have
the same permissions as when they were packed.
The directory 3DLDF-1.1.5.1/ contains a
configure script, which should
be called from the command line in the shell, using the absolute path of
3DLDF-1.1.5.1/ as the prefix argument. For example, if
the path is /usr/local/mydir/3DLDF-1.1.5.1/,
configure should be invoked as follows:
cd 3DLDF-1.1.5.1
configure --prefix=/usr/local/mydir/3DLDF-1.1.5.1/
configure generates a Makefile
from the Makefile.in in 3DLDF-1.1.5.1/, and
in each of the subdirectories 3DLDF-1.1.5.1/CWEB,
3DLDF-1.1.5.1/DOC,
and 3DLDF-1.1.5.1/DOC/TEXINFO.
Now, make install causes the 3DLDF to be built.
The executable is called 3dldf.
See the files README and INSTALL in the 3DLDF distribution
for more information.
