- Welcome to the official Xnext distribution!
-
- Xnext is an X server for NEXTSTEP platforms that supports various
- screen depths reflecting the NeXT and DriverKit modes.
- An X screen that's realised as a window in the common NEXTSTEP UI
- enables you to start or display X11 applications on your system.
-
- DISTRIBUTION PARTS
-
- Xnext consists of the following NEXTSTEP packages:
- Xnext-install.rtf The Xnext installation guide
- Xnext-basicdist.pkg X11R6 basic distribution.
- Xnext-fonts.pkg X11R6 fonts and bitmap data (arch-indep.)
- Xnext-server.pkg Xnext server executable.
- Xnext.app.NIHS.b.tar.gz A NEXTSTEP frontend to the server.
- Xnext-dist.pkg Additional X11R6 executables and manual pages.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Xnext-libs.pkg Xnext development kit (quad-fat)
- Xnext-man-include.pkg X11R6 manual pages and header files.
-
- You need the Xnext-basicdist.pkg, the Xnext-fonts.pkg, and the
- Xnext-server.pkg to successfully run Xnext. Install them in this
- order, if possible. The Xnext-dist.pkg contains additional xapps.
-
- NOTE: There are different packages for each architecture (except
- for the libraries and architecture independent data).
-
- If you like to compile your own xapps, you need the Xnext-libs.pkg
- and the Xnext-man-include.pkg which contain the "Xnext development
- kit".
-
- RELEASE NUMBERS
-
- The packages have release numbers in their names (e.g. the fonts
- package will always be named Xnext-fonts.6.NIHS.d.tar.gz since
- this is Release 6 of the X System). So if the package changes on
- your FTP server, you can tell from the numbers in the name whether
- or not the data has changed. In some cases the packaging will
- change, though the contents remain the same.
