This file pertains to versions of MacAnova except Mac OS 8/9. 


                              Introduction
In spite of its name, MacAnova is available for Windows, Macintosh,
and Linux, not just Macintosh.  And it does a great deal more than
Analysis of Variance.

MacAnova was conceived and programmed and is maintained by Gary W.
Oehlert and Christopher Bingham, School of Statistics and is
Copyright (C) 2005 by them (kb@stat.umn.edu and gary@stat.umn.edu).

MacAnova is distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License,
Version 2.  See file Copying.txt distributed with MacAnova.

There is no warranty of any kind for MacAnova, either expressed or
implied.  MacAnova is distributed "as is".  See file Copying.txt
for a more complete statement.

Reports of bugs should be e-mailed to kb@stat.umn.edu.


                         Where to get MacAnova
Everything publically available about MacAnova, including the latest
Macintosh, Windows and DOS versions, documentation, and source, is
available via the Internet.  On the World Wide Web, our home page is

  http://www.stat.umn.edu/macanova/macanova.home.html

The starting point for downloading the source 

  http://www.stat.umn.edu/macanova/download.html

It is set up to make it relatively easy for you to download the file you
need.

                      Files
MacAnova source comes as a single gzipped tar file, for example
MacAnova5.04.2.tar.gz.  Give the command
  zcat MacAnova5.04.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
This will expand the archive into a directory named macanova5.04.2
All MacAnova source (including some for obsolete verions) is
included in this archive.

                      Developer Toolkits
All versions of MacAnova are compiled using the GNU gcc/g++
compiler suite.  On Linux, gcc/g++ often come as a standard part
of the distribution.  We have been using version 3.3.x for SuSE
Linux.  On Mac OS X, you must install the developer tools.  On
Windows, we have been using gcc/g++ under the Cygwin environment.
Thus, if you are compiling for Windows, you must first set up
a working Cygwin environment and install the compilers and standard
utilities.  Cygwin is available at www.cygwin.com  .

                      wxWidgets
All windowed forms of MacAnova use wxWidgets (currently we use
version 2.6.0).  You should obtain wxWidgets from their website
at www.wxwidgets.org, configure it for your system, and then
compile it.  It's actually very simple.
1.  cd into the wxWidgets directory
2.  on Linux    ./configure --with-gtk=2 --disable-shared --with-libpng --with-libjpeg
    on Mac OS X ./configure  --disable-shared 
    on Windows  ./configure  --with-msw  --disable-shared 
3.  make
There's a lot to compile, so it will take a while, but I've not had
problems.

                      Compiling MacAnova
There is one Makefile for each system: Makefile.cpc.gtk, Makefile.cpc.msw,
and Makefile.cpc.osx.  Edit the makefile for your system.  The only
thing that you should need to change is a line that tells make where
your wxWidgets installation is.  For example, I might have
WXDIR = /home/gary/wxGTK-2.6.0
Edit this line to point to whereever you have wxWidgets installed.
Then simply do
  make -f Makefile.cpc.gtk macanovacpc
(although you'll have to change the name of the makefile for the other
two systems).  That should be all there is to it.


Happy Computing!
