Installing DaggeX 0.9 is quite simple, but there are two ways you can do it.
1) If you have an older distribution of DaggeX, you'll only need to replace
the server binary and copying usr:lib/x11/rgb.txt to your usr:lib/x11/
2) Installing DaggeX 0.9 from scratch. This file is about this option.
Now that you're reading this you obviously has uncompressed the DaggeX0.9.lha
archibve, so that's been dealt with. If not, do it.
Now you have a directory with a few files and directories in it.
To make DaggeX installation complete you'll only have to do a few things.
1) add a 'assign daggex: drive:daggex', where drive is the the place you
unarchived DaggeX.
2) add a 'set DISPLAY foo:0' line to your user-startup. foo is the default
machine/communications method to use. if you use local messageport
communications, then 'foo' is 'local' so the line looks like
set DISPLAY local:0
If you choose to use AmiTCP communications for locally running clients, then
foo is you machines name, 127.0.0.1 don't work for some reason. So if your
machines name is 'honeypie.someplace.kindergarten.edu' the line looks like
set DISPLAY honeypie:0
Of course using commandline option -display or -d overrides this variable.
3) add a 'set XAUTHORITY /somedrive/directory/.xauthority'. this'll tell
clients where to look for the authority file. If you use the supplied
.xauthority file this should be /daggex/.xauthority.
4) add a 'set FONTPATH /drive/place/,/anotherdirve/anotherplace' in the default
configuration this should look like
set FONTPATH /daggex/fonts/bdf/misc/,/daggex/fonts/bdf/100dpi/,/daggex/fonts/scaled/speedo/,/daggex/fonts/bdf/75dpi/
5) If you're bot using AmiTCP add a 'set HOSTNAKME 127.0.0.1' to your
user-startup.
6) add a 'path daggex: daggex:bin add' to your user-startup.
7) copy libs/ixemul.library to your libs or add an assign. If you already have
ixemul.library v39.47 you can skip this.
8) add an assign usr: daggex:usr if you don't have usr: assigned to someplace
already. If you have usr: assigned to someplace, do a 'copy usr/#? all usr:'
9) add an 'assign etc: daggex:etc' if you don't have etc: assigned to someplace
already.
Thats it! For convenience you might want to add aliases and stuff, but that's
up to you.
Now DaggeX can be started with 'startx'. But you should edit startx script to
suit your system. The default configuration of startx assumes you have done
everything mentioned above, and want to run twm locally using messageport
communications. It also loads resources from supplied .xdefaults file.
