Eidolon is written in Objective C, a very elegant language which is implemented on NeXTStep OS. However, using it on other systems is not easy.
The GNUstep project attempts to adapt the NeXT environment for gnu-linux and unix systems.

These pages have been made for people, especially students who are not unix-experts and who would like to modify the Eidolon package. A large project is not so easy to manipulate and some hints are useful to make the job easier.
Make a compilation the first time without modifications to check if all is working well.
$ make all
To be sure no residual object file is to be found, clean the ./objc directory with
$ rm -rf ./objc/*

The documentation of Eidolon is now divided in two parts: the user guide contains the required background and useful informations concerning PET and the way the Simulator works.
The second part is useful for developpers and contains a more detailed description of the sources. A second document is dedicated to the use of the GNU debugger GDB with Obj-C.
For compatibility problems have a look at the credits section.

To download the first 1999 release of the free/open source package, users have to accept the licence agreement and fill a registration form on the PARAPET web site. This was suspended after the end of the project.
For the more recent releases (some bugs fixed) and other options added, including simulation of transmission scanning, please contact Frédéric Schoenahl or Dr Habib Zaidi.
