+# X11IRAF -- X11/GUI development utilities and applications developed by the

+
+BUILDING FROM SOURCES
+
+Before building x11iraf you should check the archives on iraf.noao.edu (or
+it's mirror sites) to see if there are already pre-built binaries available
+for your platform.
+
+To build x11iraf type, in the x11iraf root directory,
+
+ % xmkmf
+ % make World # (or preferably, make World >& spool &)
+
+This will do a "make World", build everything, and install into the x11iraf
+bin and other install directories. To install somewhere else you can manually
+move the binaries to /usr/local/bin or wherever you wish to install them.
+Alternatively the X11IRAF.tmpl file can be edited to customize the install.
+The minimal install requires moving the executables in bin to a public
+directory, and installing the app-defaults files "XGterm" and "XTapemon".
+ximtool does not require installation of an app-defaults file. See the
+manual pages for more detailed configuration instructions.
+
+To build the GUIDEMO IRAF package type "mkpkg" in the guidemo directory.
+
+The LIB and INCLUDE directories should be referenced in applications which
+use any of the x11iraf libaries (libobm.a, libXaw3d.a, libXpm.a, libcdl.a).
+
+
+USING THE INSTALL SCRIPT
+
+To install the files you can use the new 'install' script by logging in as
+the root user and issuing the command:
+
+ # ./install
+
+Just answer the questions about path destinations and the files will be
+moved automatically. Root permissions are required to install the files to
+system diretories, however the install script can be used by "normal" users
+wishing to install in a private directory.
+
+
+BINARY DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION
+
+The binary distributions are all that are required to use the package.
+Binaries may be installed in any place normally in the user's path but
+we recommend something like the following
+
+ % mv bin.<arch>/* /usr/local/bin # for the binaries
+ % mv lib.<arch>/* /usr/local/lib # for the CDL library
+ % mv include/* /usr/local/include # for CDL include files
+ % mv app-defaults/* /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults # app resource defaults
+ % mv man/* /usr/man/man1 # man pages
+
+The CDL file installation is not required unless you plan to use it for
+building local applications. The app-defaults file are for XGterm and
+XTapemon. Note that on Sun systems these files may need to be installed
+in the /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults directory.
+
