- 0. YOU NEED AN ANSI C COMPILER! A C++ compiler may also work (try it!)
- Frisk will eventually be rewritten in C++ anyway :) POSIX compliance
- would probably help.
- 1a. If you have imake, type `xmkmf' to create the Makefile. Then create the
- binaries by typing `make'. If you wish to install the binaries in a
- non-standard place, type `make BINDIR=<binary path>'. If you want the
- library files (i.e. the map and such) to be placed somewhere non-standard,
- then type `make LIBDIR=<library path>'. Both options may be used in
- conjunction. For example:
-
- > xmkmf
- > make BINDIR=/usr/local/bin LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib
-
- Or to build and install them, type
-
- > make BINDIR=/usr/local/bin LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib install
-
- NOTE: If you _build_ the binaries with a specified BINDIR or LIBDIR,
- remember to _install_ them with the same options. Or even better, build
- and install them with the same command, as above.
-
- NOTE 2: Frisk is forgiving. It uses default resources if it can't find
- the installed ones, and if it can't find its data files, it looks in
- the current directory. So if you're just trying Frisk out, you can
- just type `xmkmf;make' to get fully working binaries without any need
- for root priviledges or installing anything.
- 1b. If you don't have imake, get it. Sorry...
- 2. Try it out by running `friskserver' and then `xfrisk <host>.' You can run
- the former in the background if you wish. For <host>, put in the name
- of the machine on which the server is running. For example, if both
- are running on the same machine, then type:
-
- > friskserver &
- > xfrisk 127.0.0.1
-
- Or if the last command fails, try:
-
- > xfrisk localhost
-
- Or you can just run the `risk' script, which does this for you. It uses
- localhost. If 127.0.0.1 works for you, then edit the script and change
- it. If both localhost and 127.0.0.1 (loopback device) fail for you,
- try the actual name of your machine (you can do this through
- > xfrisk `hostname`
- which you can also put in the script).
- 3. If something fails, let me know about it: feingold@zko.dec.com
- 4. Enjoy it!
