Comments to build DIM on Linux

Build on Lynx

Current version is dim_v19r3

Since DIM version v18 the memory leak in the java interface has been fixed.
To build the Java part at GSI,
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
JDK_INCLUDE=$JAVA_HOME/include
ODIR=linux
OS=Linux
DIMDIR to top directory

make 32BITS=yes JDIM=yes

The /jdim/makefile does not create the jar file. For that, go into classes and

jar -cf ../dim.jar dim/*.class

It is important that in the jar file the top directory is dim.

In the dimlogin

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DIMDIR/linux
PATH=$PATH:$DIMDIR/linux
CLASSPATH=.:$DIMDIR/jdim/dim.jar
