- My guess is that you have OpenWindows 2 or less. This provides a fairly minimal
- X11 installation. I strongly recommend that you obtain OpenWindows version 3.
- This provides most of the tools assumed by PD X11. A better solution would be to
- get the MIT distribution itself, but that's a bigger decision.
-
- A reasonably complete X11 installation ought to make PD software building and
- installation, on your own workstation, as easy as:
-
- Read the README
- Check the Imakefile
- xmkmf (possibly -a if the package is complex)
- make
- make install
- make install.man
-
