Email: iraf@noao.edu) + + +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. + +Anyone with questions or problems should feel free to contact site support, +iraf@noao.edu |
