- Instructions for installing the vt100 panel emulator on a SUN:
-
- 1. Decide where you will keep your vt100 fonts and change the
- definition of MAIN_FONT_DIR in vconfig.h. Put the 32 font files that
- are in the subdirectory "fontdir" in that directory.
-
- 2. Decide if you will keep the library files in a subdirectory called
- libdir under your main vt100tool source directory. If not, change the
- LIBDIR variable in the makefile for vt100tool.
-
- 3. cd to LIBDIR and run make. This makes a copy of libsuntool.a from
- your current /usr/lib and modifies it with the binary (.o) files from
- this distribution. This step was necessary because some of the
- vt100tool depends on changes made to proprietary SMI library routines
- and I do not feel I can provide the source for these to installation
- unless they have a source license from SMI. This will insure that any
- new changes which you or SMI has made to your libsuntool.a are
- retained in your emulator. It does not guarantee these will not
- conflict with the current implementation of vt100tool.
-
- 4. Go back to the main vt100tool source directory and run make.
-
- 5. Install vt100tool whereever you like. Test it with vttest from Per
- Lindstrom if you have it. If you don't, a source version is included
- in the distribution of vt100tool. Just compile it for your SUN and
- execute it inside of vt100tool.
-
- 6. Install the manual page: vt100tool.1. Don't forget to tell any host
- or shell that asks that you are a vt100, NOT a SUN!!! In fact, you
- should also run your .login program on your Sun when you execute
- vt100tool and tell the UNIX shell that you are a vt100.
-
- 6. Report bugs to me <Ed Lafferty, MITRE> and I will try to fix them
- or tell you how to work around them.
-
- Good Luck,
-
