*** Installation instructions for xtic, version 1.12 *** -------------------------------------------------------- To be able to install xtic, you need the XPM package. If this is not present at your site, try to get it from ftp.x.org or, rather, from one of its mirror sites close to you. Also, the installation procedure relies on the imake/xmkmf procedures. Assuming everything is set up well at your site, do the following: 1) Edit configure.h in this directory if needed. 2) Edit the Imakefile in this directory if needed. 3) Execute the following commands xmkmf -a make Monitor the output of the above commands for error messages. If no errors occured you my now test the program by stepping into the src directory and entering xtic. 4) If you want to install the binary file xtic and the manual file xtic.man, do: make install make install.man Be aware that to put these files into their default directories (determined by imake) you normally have to be root. If you have the appropriate privileges, become root. Otherwise you may ask someone else to do it or else edit the file configure.h to make imake put the files at another, non-privileged place. Then you have to do "make clean" and start all over again from 1). 5) If you want to clean up the installation directory, do make clean If something goes wrong for some reason (xmkmf is not properly installed, the xpm library is misplaced etc.) then you will have to edit the makefiles yourself and try to make it work... Good Luck! Mattias Jonsson
