THIS FILE IS A DESCRIPTION OF Xamiga.tar.gz
This archive contains two things:
A relatively small (500K) X server linked dynamically,
and a dynamically linked version of fvwm.
Xamiga is a plain, bear bones, X server. It should have just about all
of the extensions except PEX linked into it. I have found it possible
to run Xamiga, fvwm and 1 Xterm, and a small applrication (say vi, or
tip) without swapping on a 4 meg system. Your mileage may vary.
The server was ported using Godzilla's guide, and does not make use of
any custom hardware. I am using Chris Hopps Views interface, but the
server does not manipulate the bitmap size, or color palette. I'm
afraid you may be stuck with a black&white 640x400 screen for the time
being.
It will probably expect to find files in "/usr/X11R5/{bin,lib}", so
you may need to create a symlink. I compiled it using "gcc -g -O3",
and then stripped the file. The stripped server weighs in at 525524
bytes. (Unstripped is over 3MB.) It is also dynamically linked, so
you will need the dynamic libraries to run it.
I may publish the amiga-dependent portions sources if I get enough
requests. To use them, you would need the full X11R5 distribution,
though.
