2.4 Environment Variables

If your installation succeeded, you'll only need to modify DL_SHADERS_PATH and DL_TEXTURES_PATH variables to suit your needs. If for some reason 3Delight does not run properly, check if the variables described below are set to correct values.

You may also contact us at info@3delight.com if you experience difficulties.

DELIGHT
This variable must point to the root of your 3Delight installation.

DL_SHADERS_PATH
This variable contains search paths for 3Delight shaders. It must contains a colon (or semi-colon on Windows systems) separated list of directories. A default value is `.:$DELIGHT/shaders' (`$DELIGHT/shaders;.' in Windows).

DL_TEXTURES_PATH
Contains search paths for the textures used in the scenes rendered by 3Delight. The default is `.' (current directory).

DL_DISPLAYS_PATH
Contains search paths for 3Delight display drivers. The default is `$DELIGHT/displays'.

DL_ARCHIVES_PATH
Contains search paths for RIB archives. Used when loading RIBs using ReadArchive or DelayedReadArchive.

DL_PROCEDURALS_PATH
Contains search paths for DSOs used by DynamicLoad as well as for programs used by RunProgram.

DL_RESOURCE_PATH
Setting this environment variable is equivalent to set each of the `shader', `display', `texture' and `archive' paths individually.

DL_RIB_OUTPUT
This variable may contain the name of an output RIB file. You do not need to define this variable to use 3Delight. However, it may be useful if you want 3Delight to output the scene it renders. This variable is mainly used for debugging purposes.

INFOPATH
If you use info to view the online documentation, add `$DELIGHT/doc/info' to this variable.

PATH
You may also want to make the 3Delight executables accessibles by adding `$DELIGHT/bin' to the this environment variable.

LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
If you are installing 3Delight on an IRIX system and you decided to configure your environment by hand, you'll have to make the `lib3delight.so' dynamic library visible to the program loader. One way to do this is to add `$DELIGHT/lib' to the LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH environment variable.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If you are instsalling 3Delight on a Linux sytem and you decided to configure your environment by hand, you have to make the `lib3delight.so' dynamic library visible to the program loader. One way to do this is to add `$DELIGHT/lib' to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
