- Hello,
-
- I post this article in order to get some help.
-
- I dowloaded "viewer-nntp.tar.Z" from a ftp anonymous server. "viewer"
- is a very smart multiformat picture viewer that runs under X-Window.
- The problem is the following: I do not know how to install this
- software in my home directory. I can just expand it by the "uncompress
- command". The remaining of the process in unclear in my mind. Since I
- am not very much in touch with sophiosticated Unix commands, I shall
- need some help. Could anybody help me? Thank you very much for your
- attention. Enclosed you will find the installation notes of "viewer"
- READ-ME file (I typed ?? in front of the point I do not understand).
- I seems I must create a Makefile with emacs: what shall I write in??
- My working configuration is the following: Sun 4/670 running SunOS and
- release X11R4 of X Window. (I usaually run emacs as a text editor).
-
- INSTALLATION ------------
- mkdir viewer
- cd viewer
- uncompress < ../viewer.tar.Z | tar xvf -
- ?? emacs Makefile
- ?? emacs config.h
- ?? make
- ?? make install
- ?? setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
- ?? rehash
- ?? viewer
- ?? if($status == "0") then
- echo "Good job." | mail battle@cs.utk.edu
- else
- echo "You twit." | mail battle@cs.utk.edu
- endif
-
- Uncompress and extract viewer.tar.Z in an empty directory. Change
- INSTALLDIR in the Makefile to be what you want. You may also want to
- change the default directory and possibly other parameters in
- config.h. Make sure you have xloadimage installed, if not, get it
- from export.lcs.mit.edu and install it. Then just type "make
- install". Make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set, and
- that you have done a "rehash" since installation and type "viewer".
-
-
- Thanks for your attention.
- Sincerely,
-
