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.
You should now have three binaries:
xtide, the interactive X-windows client
tide, the non-interactive TTY client
xttpd, the web server
The X-windows client is easy to use. Go for it.
tide does a few things that xtide doesn't do. Run
it with nothing on the command line and read the usage info.
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.)
