- This is the original INSTALLATION guide for Dagge
- ****
-
-
- 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.
