These are the steps to follow when you want to install dim:
1. Unpack the dim-X.YY.tar.gz file, using
tar xzvf dim-X.YY.tar.gz
from the current directory. GNU tar 1.11.2 was used to
create dim-X.YY.tar.gz
2. You get subdirectories src, bin and examples, a document file
dim-X.YY.txt and a build-script.
The dim...txt file contains a lot of information about setting up
you modem, kermit, gettydefs, getty.ttySx, etc. Read it when
you're ready for it. You don't need it for the installation proper.
3. Start editing the file build. Look for the lines:
#define CONFDIM "/conf/dim"
#define DIMDEST "/usr/local/bin"
The dial-in getty.ttySx files will be stored at the CONFDIM
subdirectory. If you don't want this name, adapt this pathname in
the file build *AND* in the file config.h.
The dim program will be installed (*only* if you do 'build install')
in the path named with DIMDEST. Again, modify it if you want it
somewhere else.
Check out other #defines in build: do you have all the programs
used by build? (this should be no problem, they're pretty standard)
4. Edit src/config.h, and check (again, to be sure) CONFDIM and
other defines. Edit them if necessary. Pay attention to the
GETTYSTRING definition. This line *MUST* be found in your
ps -ax output. If you have another way of having getty look at
the modem, adapt the line in config.h accordingly.
5. When all #defines are the way you want them, do
build dim
This should build the (unstripped) program dim the bin subdirectory
created by tar. If dim is started without arguments, it will
give you usage information.
6. Now that dim is created, you may want to install dim. To do that,
you must (probably) be root. Once you're root, go again to this
directory, and enter:
build install
You must copy examples/getty.ttyS3.* to the CONFDIM subdirectory,
and you may have to edit /etc/initab and /etc/gettydefs.
There are demo files in the examples subdirectory.
Note that /etc/default/getty.ttySx is rewritten by dim, check
any special things you might have in you current
/etc/default/getty.ttySx. Copy them in CONFDIM/getty.ttySx.org
if necessary *before* you start using dim.
7. After having installed dim, having copied/adapted
CONFDIM/getty.ttySx.*, having adapted /etc/gettydefs and
/etc/initab, dim can be used. Try dim -file to see if
your current getty.ttySx file is displayed. Then start
using the other options to enable or disable incoming calls.
8. If you're getting stuck: start reading dim-X.YY.txt.
if anythings fails, or if questions remain, send an email.
