Icon Quick install instructions

  1. XTide requires:
  2. You must download at least one harmonics file from http://www.universe.digex.net/~dave/files/.
  3. You must set the environment variable HFILE_PATH to point to the harmonics files that you downloaded. Example:
    export HFILE_PATH=/etc/harmonics:/etc/offsets.xml:/etc/harmonics.anchorage
    
  4. If your Imake is known to work, do this to compile:
    xmkmf; make depend; make
    
    Otherwise, copy Makefile.std to Makefile, edit as needed, and type make.
  5. You should now have three binaries:
  6. The X-windows client is easy to use. Go for it.
  7. tide does a few things that xtide doesn't do. Run it with nothing on the command line and read the usage info.
  8. xttpd is a self-contained web server. Fire it up and browse away. If you don't have root or if you already have a web server running, provide a port number (e.g., 8080) on the command line when you start it, and find it at http://your.site.net:8080/ instead of http://your.site.net/. Set the environment variable XTTPD_FEEDBACK to change the feedback address. (You can also change the compiled-in default in config.hh.)
