(Note: this is the first release with the cnfigure script. I never before used this tool so it might not work under all circumstances. E.g. I know that sometimes the libscheme.a is not build correctly. The linker gives you errors when linking myxec. You should then simply remove libscheme.a and start make again. Always worked for me.) Follow these steps to install myxec: 0. Install Gcc-2.X, with X >= 4. This is ABSOLUTELY required. (gcc-2.4.5, gcc-2.5.8 or gcc-2.6.0 are the recommended version and all these should now be able to compile the program) 1. run configure: > sh configure If you have Xaw3d and want to use it (I did) give it the argument --with-xaw3d. 2. run make (I think GNUmake is not needed anymore but it's always a good idea to install it; tell me about problems): > make 3. install the application defaults file Myxec.ad. I extensively use the app-defaults file because it is easier for developing. When I manage to get a stable version I will put the information in the C files and the app-def file is less important. You have to install the file under the name Myxec (not Myxec.ad !!!). I prefer to use a dir ~/app-defaults and let the env-var XAPPLRESDIR point to this dir. 4. make sure the files .myxec-scheme, pp.scm amd libscheme.init are in the dir you start the program in. This is for the scheme interpreter (see documentation). To run the program you have to use a color X-terminal. (For now) there is no monochrome version (I think 0.3 will be). Note to the data file: you will find that the client sometimes crashes. In this situation it won't save the data file with the actual information. When starting new and a data file exists you will find old information to be displyed. Simple use the all command to get a complete new set of information.
