UltraSTAR

Stream processing Tools for Astronomical data Reduction; Unix and Linux based Tools for Radio Astronomy data reduction

This is a software for radio spectrum data processing, which is developing by the radio astronomy group in the institute of astronomy, the university of Tokyo. And it is used for data obtain by VST1 and VST2.

To install STAR/ULTRA

The STAR/ULTRA system requires the following libraries. X11R5 or later Motif1.2 or later Pxplib (also distributed by IoA-UTokyo)
1. make Pxplib libraries
You must install Pxplib libraries. You can get it through http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~handa/ A breif instruction to install it is shown there.
2. make libraries of UltraSTAR
a) expand the archived file zcat star2007g.tgz | tar xf - makes new directory such as ./star2007g. In the following we assume the directory is ~/star
* If you use GNU-tar, you only do
  tar zfx star2007g.tgz
* The file extension "tgz" may be abbreviated to be "tar.gz".
b) check there are no older Pxplib. You should use Pxplib2002 or later. If you have in your system, "configure" script may assign improper Pxplib directory in the next step. Please check and edit your Makefile by hand.
c) make a proper Makefile for the libiraies with the script "configure" cd ~/star/lib ./configure This script can make a proper Makefile for News4.xR, News4.xC, SUN4.1.3, Solaris2.x, and Linux2.0.x, 2.2.x. If something wrong, please check final Makefile.
d) make libraries in binary make If failed, motif base directory is not proper in most cases. Please check motif in your system and replace/add the line in Makefile like
   MOTIF =  /usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0
or
   MOTIF =  /usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2
3. make commands of UltraSTAR
a) cd ../src This is the directory stored the source codes.
b) make a proper Makefile for the commands with the script "configure"
  ./configure
This script can make a proper Makefile for News4.xR, News4.xC, SUN4.1.3, Solaris2.x, and Linux2.0.x, 2.2.x. If something wrong, please check final Makefile.
d) make executable binary
  make
All binary files for UltraSTAR commands are made.
e)installed them into bin directory. make install All commands are installed in the proper directory. The default is /usr/local/star/bin
f) make starman If you use starman. Actually it is a simple script to execute firefox with the proper web pages in your system. Http server deamon is not required on your system to use this. starman command works well only after installation of all other commands.
4. before starting
a) Set a command path in your own shell.
b) setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/dt/lib If you use Solaris2.x, please setenv the above parameter. This is required to use Motif library in dynamic allocation mode. The /usr/dt/lib should be modified to fit your system. See your Motif installation manuals in detail.
GOOD LUCK!

Remarks,

Some source codes may contain Japanese characters in the comments. I confirm that all command work well even non-Japanese envilonment. But if you want to borrow and edit the sources, please notice it. These Japanese characters will be translated and remove near future.
