NetBSD Applications


Installation Instructions
The first step in installing any of the applications included on this months CD is to copy them to an area of disk accessable by NetBSD. For this example we shall assume that the files reside in a NetBSD directory on the Amiga`s hard drive. To make the files accessable we must mount the Amiga disk under NetBSD. As always we shall use /amiga as the mount point.

> mount_ados -o ro /dev/sd0d /amiga

For each application that you wish to install follow the steps below, which must be executed as root

i) Extract the achive. This must be done in the root (/) directory, otherwise the files will not be installed into the correct directory

> cd /
> tar zxvf /amiga/NetBSD/application_name.tar.gz

ii) Install the application using the install script provided.

> cd /usr/local/application_name/install
> ./install.sh

Note: On a few of the archives the execute flag is not set on the install script. If NetBSD produces a unable to execute error use the following commands to make the installation scripts executable.

> chmod 755 /usr/local/install/install.sh
> chmod 755 /usr/local/application_name/install/install.sh

 Some installation scripts may prompt you for the location of the X11 default directory. This should be entered as /usr/local/X11R6.1
iii) Follow any special instructions listed for each application below.

A script /usr/local/application_name/install/uninstall.sh is provided should you wish to remove the application from you system.
