Basic astronomical functions for solar system ephemerides, time systems, coordinate systems, etc. This includes some utilities based on these functions, such as a calendar computer and a utility to numerically integrate asteroid orbits. The code can be built for Windows, Linux, or BSD, and probably OS/X. Some documentation (in need of updates) is at
http://www.projectpluto.com/source.htm#astrocalc
On Linux, run make
to build the library and various test executables.
(You can also do this with MinGW under Windows.) In Linux, you
can then run make install
to put libraries in /usr/local/lib
and some
include files in /usr/local/include
. (You will probably have to make that
sudo make install
.) For BSD, and probably OS/X, run gmake CLANG=Y
(GNU make, with the clang compiler), then sudo gmake install
.
On Windows, run nmake -f lunar.mak
with MSVC++. Optionally, add
BITS_32=Y
for 32-bit code.
