X S N O W * * * * * * * December 16th 2000 How to compile: --------------- To build: xmkmf make depend make To run: ./xsnow or: ./xsnow& (in the background) To install (be root): make install make install.man If xmkmf does not work and you cannot get a working Makefile that way then try compiling yourself, eh, xsnow this way: cc -o xsnow snow.c -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl gcc, SUN Solaris users without a C-compiler, but with gcc installed, try the following two commands. The first compiles Xsnow, the second links Xsnow. gcc -c -O2 -I/usr/openwin/include -DSVR4 -DSYSV xsnow.c gcc -o xsnow xsnow.o -O2 -L/usr/openwin/lib -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl Note: Xsnow-1.41 needs the Xpm library. It is available from: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/ The current Xpm version is xpm3.4k More information in the README file. Merry X-mas! Rick Jansen -- rja@euronet.nl http://www.euronet.nl/~rja/
