3D Benchmarking

From Knowledge76

Before Installation

Make sure that your sourcelist is properly set up and your 3D driver for your graphic card is working. Next step is getting you the right compiling tools and depended libs to compile and making Globs working:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion 
sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev python-gnome2-dev 
sudo apt-get install python-gobject-dev python-gtk2-dev python2.4-opengl scons x11proto-gl-dev 
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev python2.4-pysqlite2 freeglut3-dev

Installation

Now to the compiling and installing:

cd && cd Desktop
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/globs/globs/trunk globs
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/globs/benchmarks/trunk globs/src/benchmarks
cd globs
scons
sudo scons install prefix=/usr
sudo python patchdir.py prefix=/usr
sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

Launcher

sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/globs.desktop
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/globs.desktop

add the following text:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GL O.B.S.
Comment=OpenGL Benchmark Utility
Exec=globs %F
Icon=/usr/share/globs/pixmaps/globs.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;System;

Save an exit.

You can now start GLobs in the Application tab ---> System Tools or type globs in the terminal.
