Please read the files (especially README.Makefiles) in the husky-common (huskybse) package FIRST! Unix: ----- 0. The smapi and the fidoconfig package are required for the htick package. 1. Put the htick package in the directory where the other packages of fido linux reside: /usr/src/packages/ -> smapi/ -> fidoconfig/ -> htick/ 2. Determine which makefile you need to use then compile and install fidoconfig using selected makefile, as this examples. Ex.1 (use ../huskymak.cfg for all packages): $ make $ make install Ex.2 (use compiler-specific makefile): $ cd linux $ make -f makefile.lnx $ make -f makefile.lnx install You're ready. If you have a working fidoconfig, you can now use htick under unix.
