INSTALL ------- This file describes how to install asedit program (Version 1.3.2). PREREQUISITES X-Windows Release 6, 5, or 4 and Motif 1.2, 1.1 (usually the higher the version the better) INSTALLATION 1. Make sure that "xmkmf" is in your path somewhere (probably in /usr/bin/X11/xmkmf or /usr/X11R5/bin/xmkmf). 2. Check and edit the Imakefile for any customization that needs to be done (on most systems, if you want to install the program and other files in the standard places, you don't have to change anything). 3. I assume you want to use your installed libraries and include files. So type: xmkmf make asedit 4. If you want to TRY OUT asedit from within the build directory before doing the "make install" type: ./asedit.try [options] [filename(s)] or for a French version: LANG=fr ./asedit.try [options] [filename(s)] (you can test the following language versions: da, de, en, fr, nl, pl, pt and sv). To test on SGI computers with high GAMMA colour corrections use: ./asedit.try -xrm "*customization: -sgi" To test the special emacs mode (alternate set of bindings) use: ./asedit.try -emacs 5. Install it. Become a root or somebody having write permission in the install directories and type: make install make install.man To install a non-default language version, for example a French one, type the following: INST_LANG=fr make install The above command is for the Korn(ksh) or Bourne(sh) shell. Repeat the above for other languages, if needed. Note that on some systems you might need to include a territory name for the full locale definition (for example for French you might choose one of the following: fr_FR, fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH). Check your documentation or use INST_LANG=$LANG for the current locale installation. Note also that for all languages we use ISO8859 codesets. That's all! ___________________ Installation notes: i) If you do NOT have xmkmf try: imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config The name of the directory where all the configuration files for imake reside might be slightly different for your system, change that if necessary (e.g. for IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2.3 I found it as /usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/config, on SOLARIS 2.3 it is /usr/openwin/lib/config). If you do not have imake or something goes completely wrong, COPY the supplied Makefile.raw onto Makefile, edit it if needed and "make asedit". ii) If you would like to compile in the non-English default fallback resources do the following (let's assume you want a French version): rm Asedit.ad.h INST_LANG=fr make asedit The above command is for the Korn(ksh) or Bourne(sh) shell. iii) If you have previous versions of asedit installed on your system (i.e. 1.0, 1.1x, 1,2x) please remember to CHANGE/UPGRADE the application defaults files (i.e. the system wide Asedit file and the private Asedit file in the user home directory). Otherwise the new asedit would pick up the old application defaults file(s) and some functionality might be lost. iv) If on a program startup you get a lot of warnings about osfKeys read the on-line help topic: "Index|Users' Q & A" (simply your Motif setup is wrong).
