The easiest way to build a new client (X application) is to use
xmkmf
if an Imakefile
is included with it. Type ``xmkmf -a
''
to create the Makefiles, then type ``make
''. Whenever you install
additional man pages you should update whatis.db
by running
``makewhatis /usr/X11R6/man
''.
Note: Starting with XFree86 2.1 and FreeBSD 1.1, the symbol __386BSD__ no longer gets defined either by the compiler or via the X config files for FreeBSD systems. When porting clients to BSD systems, make use of the symbol BSD for code which is truly BSD-specific. The value of the symbol can be used to distinguish different BSD releases. For example, code specific to the Net-2 and later releases can use:
#if (BSD >= 199103)
To ensure that this symbol is correctly defined, include
<sys/param.h>
in the source that requires it. Note that
the symbol CSRG_BASED is defined for *BSD systems in XFree86 3.1.1
and later. This should be used to protect the inclusion of
<sys/param.h>
.
For code that really is specific to a particular i386 BSD port, use __FreeBSD__ for FreeBSD, __NetBSD__ for NetBSD, __OpenBSD__ for OpenBSD, __386BSD__ for 386BSD, and __bsdi__ for BSD/386.
