- This is a "port" of the OPEN LOOK Window Manager to NeXT. The only
- thing I have done is to hack the makefiles (in ./contrib/lib/olgx and
- ./contrib/windowmgrs/olwm) to build the olwm on the NeXT. These
- sources are from tape 2 of the MIT release of X11R4. You must have
- an X server installed and the X libraries (/usr/lib/X11). I have
- Mouse X for NeXT.
-
- You may get a lot of warnings when compiling in ./contrib/windowmgrs/olwm,
- but it seems to work anyway.
-
- Here is what you do to build olwm:
-
- 1. cd ./contrib/lib/olgx
- make
-
- 2. cd ../../windowmgrs/olwm
- make -f Makefile.next
-
- 3. cp olwm /usr/local/X11 or some other system directory or whatever.
-
- To start the X server and use olwm, you have to replace the entry
- for the window manager you used previously (typically twm) with olwm.
-
- I am going to build the rest of the OPEN LOOK applications from the
- MIT release, it will take a day (or two).
-
- If you got any questions, please let me know, and I'll try to help.
- I'm not a NeXT wizard, I recently got the NeXTstation, so I'm afraid I
- can't give you much NeXT specific help...
