Re: [Swarm-Support] Running a model

[Paul E. Johnson]

Please make sure you can compile heatbugs and other things in the 
swarmapps package before you worry about other programs.

Swarm runs fine on many Linux systems, you don't say what kind of system 
you have.  You might want to consult the Swarm FAQ to find out how to 
ask questions, or find out what you ought to try first:
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFAQ/SwarmOnlineFaq.html

Now, about your batch question.

WHen  you run heatb ugs like this:

./heatbugs,

then the initSwarm function will cause the GUI mode to be used..

if you run it like this:

./heatbugs -b

then it starts in the non GUI mode. THere is a global variable 
swarmGUIMode that gets set YES or NO according to how you start the model.

I've got a copy of the updated Swarm tutorial stashed here, you might 
want to look it over. This one will compile and run with the newer Swarm 
snapshots. Right now, I have no trouble with 2.1.141 and recently I 
built an even newer one that I'm testing still.

good luck.
