The ART COM AG Y60 Media Engine is a multipurpose media and graphics engine targetted at interactive screen installations, interactive projection tables, 3D games and everything else that might go under the name "media installation". It can also be used as a general purpose 3D scene graph and renderer.

Y60 itself is implemented in C for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. It can be scripted in JavaScript, offering a DOM API for its scene graph that is similar to what can be found in common web browsers. For graphics rendering, it targets OpenGL.

It is open-source licensed under GPL and available for windows, linux and mac-osx.

• CMake: download and install the latest installer from: cmake
• Cg Toolkit: get the latest installer from NVIDIA Cg Toolkit or install it with your favorite package manager on your OS
• y60 relies heavily on ASL the ART COM Standard Library and AcMake, so you need to install or build those too. Instructions can be found in the readme at ASL and AcMake
• windows only:
  • DirectX SDK: download from DirectX SDK
  • get the latest dependencies: PRO60Dependencies-..*-win32.exe Y60 Prebuild Installer
  • Nullsoft Scriptable Install System NSIS from NSIS (optional, only needed for building packages)

Currently, we distribute windows installers at Y60 Prebuild Installer Install the following packages and you should be able to run y60 applications

• get the latest installer Y60-..*-win32.exe
• get the appropriate dependencies: PRO60Dependencies-..*-win32.exe
• get the appropriate asl library: ASL-..*-win32.exe

Checkout y60 sources

git clone [email protected]:artcom/y60.git

• Visual Studio Express 9 2008, 32Bit from Y60 Prebuild Installer
• get the latest dependencies: PRO60Dependencies-..*-win32.exe
• get the appropriate asl library: ASL-..*-win32.exe
• get the appropriate acmake library: AcMake-..*-win32.exe and install them

install Gtkmm 2.14 or higher (development package) from gtkmm

It is recommended to build Y60 within cygwin, but the instructions should also work with the Windows Command Shell.

• do not use the cygwin cmake

• you must move the following cygwin executables out of the way because they are in conflict with the MS compiler:

    mv /usr/bin/link.exe /usr/bin/_link_cygw.exe
    mv /usr/bin/mt.exe /usr/bin/_mt_cygw.exe
  

• setup the environment for visual studio, therefore add the following line to the cygwin.bat located in your cygwin install directory

    call "C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" 
  

Create build target directory:

cd y60
mkdir _build  
cd _build  

Make build scripts using cmake (either for nmake or visual Studio 9 2008).
Build with ide:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" .. 
open Y60.sln and build it using the ide

You can also build using Visual Studio from the command line:

vcbuild Y60.sln "Release|Win32" 

Build with nmake via shell:

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..
nmake

These instructions should work on Ubuntu >=8.04 and Debian (>=lenny) RedHat/CentOS >= 6 on either x86 or X86_64 systems. The Dependent library names may vary on those target systems
