How to build & install Xenon ---------------------------- Xenon currently compiles happily on Linux with g++ and on IRIX with the Delta C++ compiler and perhaps even cfront (not tested). It should also compile on Solaris and OSF1 with g++, however I haven't tested this myself. At the moment the SGI compiler will print out a whole bunch of warnings for some files (I haven't had time to try and get rid of them) An STL implementation that supports SGI's extensions (hash_map, slist, rope) is also required. g++ 2.95.2 and greater supports this (gcc.gnu.org), and SGI's STL implementation is available for free: http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ X Libraries required: libX11 and libXpm No Imakefile at the moment and I only have makefiles for Linux, IRIX, OSF1, and Solaris, however porting to another X/Posix system should be pretty straight-forward. To compile, do the following: ./config make If you want an optimized version, edit the Makefile and change the OPTIMIZER variable to whatever is appropriate for the compiler being used. The files that need to be installed somewhere are as follows: Files: xe - executable xerc - configuration file (copy to ~/.xerc) xe.1 - man page (copy to whatever man1 directory you choose) The executable and man page can be installed into standard X locations using: make install
