Installing WWW
This section describes how to install the World-Wide Web
line-mode browser called "www". First of all,
The browser has already been ported to VAX/Ultrix (using cc or gcc compilers),
VAX/VMS (read the special instructions),
DECStation (MIPS), Sun 3, Sun 4 (Sparc), NeXT, RS-6000, Apollo-M68K,
HP-700 (Snake), SGI, Convex, VM/CMS and MVS, IBM-PC/MS-DOS/PC-NFS, Macintosh.
If your machine is not one of those, see the section on porting.
If it is, then find the relevant subdirectory of LineMode/Implementation.
Compiling
This will not be necessary if there is already a copy of the executable
for your machine in the subdirectory.
- Check the directory definitions in the Makefile in that subdirectory,
and change them if necessary. If the file www does not exist, type
"make". See the definition of the macros in the file
Implementation/CommonMakefile.
- Become superuser (su root). If you can't do this, see
how to do it without being superuser).
- Type "make install". A reference copy of the executable is made and
copied into the system.
The "make install" step creates a copy in your system directories
of the www executable and the basic documenattion. If you wish to
just soft link them to the files on the WWW tree, say "make link"
instead. After either of these, "make clean" will remove intermediate
files.
You must now check that the default "Home" page works, and
customize it if it is not what you want.
The default home page is the CERN entry point, which refers explicitly
to certain information which we know about. You may wish to add more.
Setting up news
To read Internet news, you must have first defined the
news server's address.
