*** Distribution of compiled X11 R5 tree for NeXT 3.0 ***
Please see the NOTES at the bottom of this file.
In this directory there are a tarfile and 2 dirs containing the following:
1) X11R5-MouseX-v2.3.tar.Z - the X servers and NextApp front end for starting X.
Grab this one and put the app in ~/Apps or /LocalApps, and put the servers in
/usr/bin/X11 after following the directions below. You must grab this one,
because the X servers are NOT included in the files below. This allows users
who only wish to update their server and front end to do so.
Then grab all the chunks from either the first or both of:
2) X11R5-basics/*
Just the essential binaries plus the bitmaps, lib files, and man pages
needed to run X. No development libs or header files are included.
3) X11R5-dev-supplement/*
All remaining binaries, all libraries, include files, config files, and
library files (such as App defaults) for use with the Xnext server and for
doing software development. Additional man pages are included.
Both of these are in chunks which need to be catted together and piped though
uncompress and tar xv - to unpack. They unpack at the same level. YOU MUST GRAB THE FIRST IF YOU PLAN TO GRAB THE SECOND. The second one is supplemental
to the first.
Installing the Compiled Tree:
After grabbing one or both of these two, untar it somewhere where you can back it up easily. I use /usr/local/XR5. It will untar into 5 directories: bin, include, lib, man, and usr.lib.
Make symbolic links from bin, include, and lib, to /usr/bin/X11,
/usr/include/X11, and /usr/lib/X11. Make a link from man to /usr/man/mann.
If you grabbed the developer files, link each of the libs in usr.lib
individually into /usr/lib, and then run "ranlib -c -s" on each of them to
update the libraries.
Move the Xnext server binaries (from the first tarfile) into /usr/bin/X11. If you are running this on a monochrome machine, you are set. If you are running on a color machine, remove the symbolic link, /usr/bin/X11/X, and relink it to the color server, i.e., /usr/bin/X11/X --> /usr/bin/X11/Xnext.color.
