Simulation from cluster initial condition file supplied with Gadget-1.1

CAPGADGET is a plug-in and graphical browser for the serial version of the cosmological N-body/SPH Gadget-1.1 NBODY simulator.  CAPGADGET is released under the  GNU license.  It is written in C using   SDL, FreeType2 , and SDL_ttf .  It should compile and run in Linux , UNIX® , Win32, MacOS, MacOS X, Amiga OS, BeOS or any other environments supported by SDL .  I have personally built and tested   CAPGADGET using CYGWIN and RedHat Version 7.1 and 7.2 .
 

Requirements:

A C compiler   (Windows CYGWIN GNU and Redhat Linux 7.X prebuilt binaries will be available for download soon)                
A Computer (This is helpfull) Note that CAPGADGET is graphics intensive 2meg+ graphics cards work

The following FR EE software must already be installed (click on the link for download and installation):

Gadget-1.1   (Version 1.1)
FreeType2    (Version 2.0.6)
SDL          (Version 1.2.3)
SPD          (Parts needed by CAPGADGET are already included)
zlib         (Included with CYGWIN and most Linux/UNIX versions. Used to read/write gzipped files  Lastest Version is 1.1.3)

Optional free Software:

pjBmp2Avi        (An excellent utility that can create AVI, Microsoft Video 1, MPEG-1, and several other codec movies from bmp files created by
              BROWSE GADGET's autocapture screen option)
 
Note the current version of CAPGADGET usage of  FreeType2 will require that you have TrueType fonts installed.   Windows and Macs have these preinstalled. The location of the font files is configurable. I will TRY to include some default non-copyrighted fonts for Linux. CAPGADGET is still in it's infancy and contains numerous undocumented features aka BUGS.
