+
+   Installation
+
+  Windows
+
+XTrackCad has only been tested on Windows 7.
+
+The MS-Windows version of XTrackCad is shipped as a
+self-extracting/ self-installing program using the NSIS Installer
+from Nullsoft Inc.
+
+Using Windows Explorer, locate the directory in which you downloaded
+or copied your new version of XTrackCAD.
+
+Start the installation program by double clicking on the
+xtrkcad-setup-4.2.0.exe file icon.
+
+Follow the steps in the installation program.
+
+The installation lets you define the directory into which
+XTrackCAD is installed. The directory is created automatically if it
+doesn't already exist.
+
+A program folder named XTrackCAD 4.2.0 will be created
+during the installation process. This folder contains the program,
+documentation, parameter and example files. An existing installation
+of earlier versions of XTrackCad is not overwritten.
+
+A new program group named XTrackCad 4.2.0 will be
+created in the Start menu.
+
+  Linux
+
+XTrackCAD for LINUX is shipped as a self-extracting archive
+(executable). You will need libc6, X11R6, GTK+2.0, webkitgtk.
+
+ Installing from the self-extracting archive.
+
+After downloading open a command line then
+
+./xtrkcad-setup-4.2.0.x86_64.sh --prefix=/usr/local --exclude-subdir
+
+This will install the executable in /usr/local/bin. A directory named
+xtrkcad will be created in /usr/local/share and all files will be
+unpacked into it.
+
+If you install XTrackCAD into another directory, set
+the XTRKCADLIB environment variable to point to that directory.
+
+   Release Info
+
+  Upgrade Information
+
+In order to prevent problems when moving files between different
+platforms, the symbol '½' was removed from the scale definitions and
+parameter files for narrow gauge definitions. As customary '.5' or
+the corresponding gauge in inches eg. 30 is used instead. Layouts
+using the old definition can be still be loaded. Use the 'Layout
+Parameter' dialog to set the updated definition.
+

+
+   Building
+
+  Overview
+
+The following instructions detail building XTrackCAD
+using CMake. CMake is a cross-platform build system, available at
+http://www.cmake.org, that can be used to generate builds for a
+variety of build tools ranging from "make" to Visual Studio and
+XCode. Using CMake you can build XTrackCAD on Windows,
+GNU/Linux, and Mac OSX using the build tool(s) of your choice.
+
+ Building XTrackCAD on GNU/Linux
+
+ - Obtain the current sources from Mercurial; I assume that they are
+   stored locally at "/src/xtrkcad". Note that the correct URL for
+   read-only access to Mercurial is
+  
+   http://xtrkcad-fork.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/xtrkcad-fork/xtrkcad
+   
+ - Create a separate build directory; for these instructions I
+   assume that your build directory is "/build/xtrkcad".
+ - Run CMake from the build directory, passing it the path to the
+   source directory:
+
+$ cd /build/xtrkcad $ ccmake /src/xtrkcad
+
+ - Press the "c" key to configure the build. After a few moments you
+   will see four options to configure: CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE,
+   CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, XTRKCAD_USE_GTK, and XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO.
+ - Use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to control the build type. Enter "Debug"
+   for a debug build, "Release" for a release build, etc.
+ - Use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to control where the software will be
+   installed. For this example, I assume "/install/xtrkcad".
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GETTEXT to add new locales (language
+   translations). Choose "OFF" to use XTrackCAD's
+   default language (English). Refer to
+   http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/Internationalization for additional
+   information.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK to control the user-interface back-end.
+   Choose "OFF" for Windows, "ON" for all other platforms.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO to enable optional high-quality
+   antialiased Cairo rendering for the GTK back-end. This option has
+   no effect unless you are using the GTK back-end.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN to enable the production of type,
+   function, etc., documentation from the the source code. Requires
+   doxygen if enabled. Enable if and only if you intend to hack on
+   the code.
+ - If you made any changes, press the "c" key again to update your
+   new configuration.
+ - Once everything is configured to your satisfaction, press the
+   "g" key to generate makefiles for your build.
+ - Compile XTrkCad using your new build:
+
+$ make
+
+ - Install the new binary:
+
+$ make install
+
+ - Run the installed binary:
+
+$ /install/xtrkcad/bin/xtrkcad
+
+ - If XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN was enabled:
+
+$ make docs-doxygen
+
+to create the internals documentation. Read this documentation by
+pointing your web browser at
+/build/xtrkcad/docs/doxygen/html/index.html.
+
+ Building XTrackCAD on Mac OSX
+
+ - You will need to install the following dependencies - I recommend
+   using http://www.macports.org to
+   obtain them: o GTK2 o webkit o gnome-icon-theme
+ - Once the prerequisites are installed the build instructions are
+   the same as for the GNU/Linux build, above.
+ - Remember that to run XTrackCAD on OSX, you need
+   to have X11 running with your DISPLAY set.
+
+ Building XTrackCAD on Windows
+
+ - Obtain the current sources from Mercurial; I assume that they are
+   stored locally at "c:/src/xtrkcad". Note that the correct URL for
+   read-only access to Mercurial is
+  
+   http://xtrkcad-fork.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/xtrkcad-fork/xtrkcad
+   
+ - Use the Windows Start menu to run CMake.
+ - Specify the source and build directories in the CMake window.
+   You must provide a build directory outside the source tree - I use
+   "c:/build/xtrkcad".
+ - Press the "Configure" button to configure the build. You will
+   be prompted for the type of build to generate. Choose your desired
+   tool - I used "Visual Studio 10". After a few moments you will see
+   three options to configure: CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, XTRKCAD_USE_GTK,
+   and XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO.
+ - Use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to control where the software will be
+   installed. The default "c:/Program Files/XTrkCAD" is a good
+   choice.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GETTEXT to add new locales (language
+   translations). Choose "OFF" to use XTrackCAD's
+   default language (English). Refer to
+   http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/Internationalization for additional
+   information.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK to control the user-interface back-end.
+   Choose "OFF" for Windows.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_GTK_CAIRO to enable optional high-quality
+   antialiased Cairo rendering for the GTK back-end. This option has
+   no effect unless you are using the GTK back-end.
+ - Use XTRKCAD_USE_DOXYGEN to enable the production of type,
+   function, etc., documentation from the the source code. Requires
+   doxygen if enabled. Enable if and only if you intend to hack on
+   the code.
+ - If you made any changes, press the "Configure" button again to
+   update your new configuration.
+ - Once everything is configured to your satisfaction, press the
+   "OK" button to generate project files for your build.
+ - Compile XTrackCad using the new project files.
+   For example, start MSVC and open the "XTrkCAD.sln" solution file
+   which is located in your build directory.
+ - Build the "BUILD_ALL" project to build the software.
+ - Build the "INSTALL" project to install the software.
+ - Run XTrackCAD by double-clicking its icon located
+   in the install directory - for example: c:/Program
+   Files/XTrkCAD/bin/xtrkcad.exe.
+
+  Where to go for support
+
+The following web addresses will be helpful for any questions or bug
+reports
+
+ - The Yahoo!Group mailing list
+ - The project website for the open source development
+ - The official Sourceforge site
+
+Thanks for your interest in XTrackCAD.
