Where would be a proper place to put all the
suggested .jar files in such a Knoppix distro ?

/usr/local/
/usr/share/
/usr/java/
/home/knoppix/

- or some other place ?

And what about the associated manuals and other
included stuff  ?

Don't know, but i'd always place a startup script into /usr/bin.

Supplementary files for a programs usually go into /usr/share/program-name/.

I know of nothing linux based at the moment I am afraid.  Would have to 
rely on Wings' or Blender.  Too bad.

	Well Knoppix 3.4 has been used for compiling purposes only, and
I didn't investigate anything else but which version of gcc was there  :-)

Yes I am.

If the version you are making comes with Wine, you can
include Anim8or (it's a windows freeware 3D program but
works fine with Wine, at least here with Suse 9.1)
http://www.anim8or.com

Kpovmodeler is a nice linux modeller for Povray 
(very similar to Moray), it would be nice to have it.

QTPoveditor is a must (IMHO)

Talking about a converter, Suse comes with 3dto3d from
Thomas Baier, I don't if it's freeware though.
http://www.3dwin.com
 
Hope this helps.

Bye, and thank you for your efforts.

Ok.

I have tried to follow your advices and I have also looked at other
applications. It is not easy to find clear patterns.

Most of these POV/Ray related applications seems to have been made
to be contained in a single directory beneath the user's home
directory, e.g.:

/home/knoppix/application-name

But I do not think this is a good place to put it on a Knoppix
distro, because this directory actually exists in a RAM-disk.

Here's how I have tried to arrange things:

/usr/local/bin <-- Startup scripts
/usr/local/lib/application-name/ <-- .jar/.beam/binary/plugin-files
/usr/local/share/application-name/ <-- include/example-files etc.
/usr/local/share/doc/application-name/ <-- manuals/licenses etc.

The applications now starts, but I'm not sure if they find all
their needed files:

I would appreciate it if anyone could comment on this arrangement.


Next thing to do is to try to make entries in the KDE start menu
for all the startup scripts.

I'll look into this.

Already working.

I installed SuSE 9.1 on a apre hd yesterday, and managed
to install the package for this converter. I doesn't seem
to be many files in the package, so maybe I could just
copy the files into the right places in the Knoppix file
three.

Thank you for your feedback.

Ok, I'll check the licence and see if distribution is allowed.

If it is, then hopefully someone could try so see if it can
be run in Linux on e.g. Wine (?)

I meant QTPoveditor is working.

(KPovModeler is still troublesome.)
