5. BUILD

In the usual X11R5 of DG (mwm) open an xterm and give: (/bin/sh = Bourne shell)

  cd xc
  make World > Build-dg.log 

In that way you will get all the error messages in your screen. Don't worry with messages about -znodefs.

Note: the old command

  make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-DDGUX" > Build-dg.log
is no longer needed since imake will detect the DGUX OS (in Version => 3.3.3.1) and set up things. However this command will also work.

And in another xterm give cd xc tail -f Build-dg.log to watch the building progress.

To install X11R6.3 XFree version 3.3.5 after the build you must have a filesystem say usr_X11R6.3 mounted to the directory /usr/X11R6 size 350000 blocks. (or whatever you choose to be your ProjectRoot, if you modify DGUX.cf for another ProjectRoot than the default /usr/X11R6 in site.def). Then give

  make install
  make install.man (install the man pages)
The installation will not put an XF86Config in your /usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/ and so if you give startx the new X11 will not start. Read the file README-X3331.DGUX in this ftp site (located in the binaries) about the whole installation procedure of X11R6.3. Or quickly you can do: (I remind: DG/ux mouse device "/dev/mouse") cd /usr/X11R6.3/bin ln -s XF86_VGA16 X Then put in your .profile the path /usr/X11R6.3/bin and run the XF86Setup program. Adjust first the mouse device then everything else. (You need to read really the file README-DGUX.INSTALL-> look in the end of this file).

To build the contributed software with XFree86-3.3.5 get the X335contrib.tgz and do

  gzip -d < X335contrib.tgz | tar xvf -

(Or for 3.3.3 sources unpack X333contrib.tgz and apply the DGUX patch as

  gzip -d < X335contrib-DGUX.diff.gz  | patch -p0 -E ). 
Please note: You must have already install and active the X11R6.3 that you build so that the imake is working properly for your system. Read below for how to install this X window system. After that you could do:

  cd contrib
  xmkmf -a
  make
  make install 
  make install.man (for installing the man pages)
