######### FOR WINDOWS #################

####dependencies
- Microsoft VC++ version 6.0 (Microsoft Visual Studio .Net or VC7 won't work)        (Essential) 
- JAVA JRE version 1.2 or higher     (For Visualization Tool) 
- JAVA SDK version 1.2 or higher    (For Visualization Tool) 
#####

1. download GloMoSim & Parsec compiler from http://pcl.cs.ucla.edu/projects/glomosim/academic/topsecret_download.html
   this is a tar.gz package containing both.
2. extract to c:\glomosim_2_03   
   after this step, you should have "c:\glomosim_2_03\glomosim" and "c:\glomosim_2_03\parsec" ready.
**NOTICE** here the name of the root directory for glomosim and parsec has to be without any special characters, o/w environment variables couldn't recognize
the directory 

3. copy EVERYTHING in "glomosim_2_03\parsec\windowsnt-4.0-vc6" to "c:\glomosim_2_03\parsec", and delete all other directories
4. Set pcc environmental variables (For Parsec) 
   (1) My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables 
   (2) New "PCC_DIRECTORY", value = "C:\glomosim_2_03\parsec"
   (3) Set path "C:\glomosim_2_03\parsec\bin"
5. Set VC6.0 environmental variables (if default, go to step 5) 
       1) Set include: 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Include; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include"
       2) Set lib: 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Lib; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib" 
 	 3) Set path: 
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin" 

6. Check pcc environment by "pcc -env" in cmd prompt

7. upon successful installation of parsec compiler, go to next step
8. go to c:\glomosim_2_03\glomosim\main\ run makent.bat
9. glomosim.exe is generated in c:\glomosim_2_03\glomosim\bin

10. TEST glomosim
   (1) run "glomosim config.in"
   (2) glomosim.stat is generated in current directory
   (3) compare glomosim.stat with glomosim.stat.sample

11. Build GloMoSim Visualisation Tool (VT)
   (1) setup java environment variables
   (2) go to C:\glomosim_2_03\glomosim\java_gui
   (3) run "javac *.java" to compile the visualization tool
12. GloMoSim is now ready to use

13. run GloMoSim Visualization Tool
   (1) go to C:\glomosim_2_03\glomosim\java_gui
   (2) run java GlomoMain

14. DONE! try simulating something


######### FOR SOLARIS #################
1. download .tar.gz file
2. extract 
3. cp parsec/solaris-gcc3.0.3/ folder to a certain directory. 
   (by default, parsec dir is /usr/local/parsec, but you cant access /usr/local on solaris machines. You have to choose another one in your own home directory e.g. my dir is /home/taojin/courses/wireless/glomosim_2_03/parsec/

4. run setenv PCC_DIRECTORY "your parsec dir"
5. add parsecdir/bin to your PATH env variable
   setenv PATH "parsecdir"/bin:$PATH
6. test pcc by typing pcc in any directory
   if you see the following output
   $pcc
    no input file
   that means your pcc has been successfully installed
7. change to dir /glomosim_2_03/glomosim/main/
8. make
9. an executable file "glomosim" should have been generated in /glomosim_2_03/glomosim/bin
10.test the glomosim in the same way as step 10 for installation guide on windows


<in order to avoid setting environment variables EVERY time, edit the following file >
1. open .tcshrc in your home directory of your unix account
2. add the following lines to this file
setenv PCC_DIRECOTRY "parsecdir"
setenv PATH "parsecdir"/bin:$PATH
3. save this file and relogin your account
