Overview
--------
This code was developed on a SUN 3/60 and a SPARCstation 1 with the help of
Saber-C which has been a blessing. The code has been also been tested on
a DECstation 3100 and a SUN 386i. The messages passed between the chaos
client and the drone daemons are byte-order independent and therefore drones
may be run on a variety of different machines.
Building, Installing and Executing
----------------------------------
1. From the top level type "xmkmf" to create a makefile for
the top level. (Sample makefiles are supplied for users who
cannot use Imakefiles.)
2. Type "make World".
3. Watch for any errors during the build.
4. As root, type "make install". If you want manual pages installed,
also type "make install.man".
5. Read the man pages for chaos(6), drone(6), and gencmap(6).
6. Copy the contents of master/Chaos.ad to the end of your .Xdefaults
file and customize as desired.
7. If you wish to run drones remotely on other hosts, add them to the
access control list with xhost. For example, to allow drones to
be run on hosts "calvin" and "hobbes", type "xhost calvin hobbes".
8. Type "chaos" and have fun.
Bugs and Enhancements
---------------------
There will undoubtedly be be some bugs remaining in the code although Saber-C
was used to point out a lot of insideous bugs that would have caused me hours
of greif otherwise. When bugs or portability issues arise, please send them
back to me so that I may include the patches in future releases of the code.
Any enhancements are welcome but please direct them back to me so that I can
keep a single version of the code.
