5. BUILD

In the usual X11R5 of DG (mwm) open an xterm and give: (/bin/sh = Bourne shell)

  cd xc
  make World > Build-dg.log 

In that way you will get all the error meggages in your screen. Dont worry with messages about -znodefs.

Note: the old command

  make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-DDGUX" > Build-dg.log
is no longer needed since imake will detect the DGUX OS (in Version => 3.3.3.1) and set up things. However this command will also work.

And in another xterm give cd xc tail -f Build-dg.log to watch the building progress.

To install X11R6.3 XFree version 3.3.5 after the build you must have a filesystem say usr_X11R6.3 mounted to the directory /usr/X11R6 size 350000 blocks. (or whatever you choose to be your ProjectRoot, if you modify DGUX.cf for another ProjectRoot than the default /usr/X11R6 in site.def). Then give

  make install
  make install.man (install the man pages)
The installation will not put an XF86Config in your /usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/ and so if you give startx the new X11 will not start. Read the file README-X3331.DGUX in this ftp site (located in the binaries) about the whole installation procedure of X11R6.3. Or quickly you can do: (I remind: DG/ux mouse device "/dev/mouse") cd /usr/X11R6.3/bin ln -s XF86_VGA16 X Then put in your .profile the path /usr/X11R6.3/bin and run the XF86Setup program. Ajust first the mouse device then everything else. (You need to read really the file README-DGUX.INSTALL-> look in the end of this file).

To build the contributed software with XFree86-3.3.5 get the X335contrib.tgz and do

  gzip -d < X335contrib.tgz | tar xvf -

(Or for 3.3.3 sources unpack X333contrib.tgz and apply the DGUX patch as

  gzip -d < X335contrib-DGUX.diff.gz  | patch -p0 -E ). 
Please note: You must have already install and active the X11R6.3 that you build so that the imake is working properly for your system. Read below for how to install this Xwindow system. After that you could do:

  cd contrib
  xmkmf -a
  make
  make install 
  make install.man (for installing the man pages)
