Supported Platforms:
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- GNU/Linux (kernel 2.4.x / 2.2.18 or later)
|
||
|
|
- FreeBSD (5.0-CURRENT / 4.4-RELEASE or later)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Patches to make it work on other platforms are welcome.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements:
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
- Basic obvious stuff
|
||
|
|
If you will build WMLongRun, make sure you have gcc (or some Other ANSI
|
||
|
|
C compiler).the X header files installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- X11R6.x
|
||
|
|
WMLongRun can NOT be compiled in older versions of X, like X11R5 or
|
||
|
|
X11R4. Upgrading the client libraries (Xlib, Xext) will help if you
|
||
|
|
can't upgrade the server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- libXPM 4.7 or newer
|
||
|
|
Older versions may not work.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- CPUID/MSR drivers. (GNU/Linux)
|
||
|
|
To run WMLongRun under GNU/Linux, you will need CPUID/MSR drivers.
|
||
|
|
These drivers have been a part of the kernel distribution since version
|
||
|
|
2.2.18. (2.4.x kernel has already included support for CPUID/MSR.) Make
|
||
|
|
sure your kernel was compiled with 'CONFIG_X86_CPUID=y' and
|
||
|
|
'CONFIG_X86_MSR=y'. If the CPUID/MSR drivers are not already built, you
|
||
|
|
will need to configure and build a new kernel. You can either build the
|
||
|
|
CPUID/MSR drivers into the kernel or build them as kernel loadable
|
||
|
|
modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- CPUID/MSR character devices (GNU/Linux)
|
||
|
|
To get the information of the LongRun settings and status, you may need
|
||
|
|
to make the special character files in the /dev directory. Please type
|
||
|
|
as following to see if these devices already exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ ls -l /dev/cpu/0/*
|
||
|
|
crw------- 1 root root 203, 0 Sep 27 00:16 /dev/cpu/0/cpuid
|
||
|
|
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 202, 0 Sep 27 00:16 /dev/cpu/0/msr
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If not, you will need to create them. There is a MAKEDEV-cpuid-msr
|
||
|
|
script in the source distribution of WMLongRun which will create
|
||
|
|
the CPUID/MSR devices for you. You can also do it yourself.
|
||
|
|
As root, type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ mkdir -m 0755 -p /dev/cpu/0
|
||
|
|
$ mknod /dev/cpu/0/msr -m 0600 c 202 0
|
||
|
|
$ mknod /dev/cpu/0/cpuid -m 0444 c 203 0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installation:
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1: tar -zxvf wmlongrun-<version>.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
2: cd wmlongrun-<version>
|
||
|
|
3: ./configure
|
||
|
|
4: make
|
||
|
|
5: su root
|
||
|
|
6: make install (or 'make install-strip')
|
||
|
|
7: wmlongrun &
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTES:
|
||
|
|
- WMLongRun is installed as a setuid-root program on GNU/Linux. A setuid
|
||
|
|
program with a graphical user interface is NOT secure. Please use at your own
|
||
|
|
risk.
|
||
|
|
- Non-GNU make may not work.
|
||
|
|
e.g.) it doesn't work on FreeBSD when you run 'make clean'.
