How to compile and install fookb: 0. The best way The best way is to install Debian Linux and use apt-get to install precompiled version of fookb :) 1. Generating Makefile. ./configure You may use ``./configure --prefix some_dir'' if you wish to install fookb in ``some_dir'' -- not in ``/usr/local''. Icons will be placed under ``some_dir/share/fookb'', manual page under ``some_dir/man/man1'', fookb itself under ``some_dir/bin''. E.g.: ./configure --prefix /usr/local/stow/fookb 2. Fine tuning. [Read this section only if compilation process was unsuccessful] configure tries automagically decide: do you wish to compile WindowMaker dockable version of fookb and would you like use PropList-like configuration file or X resources for configuring fookb (using libWUtil). If you have libWUtil AND WINGs/WUtil.h we will try to compile libWUtil-enabled version of fookb. If you want to compile libWUtil-free version of fookb, run configure with --disable-libWUtil argument. If you have wmaker in your $PATH, we will compile WindowMaker dockable verison of fookb. Run configure with --disable-wmaker to disable this behaviour. If you have no wmaker in your $PATH you still can compile WindowMaker dockable version of fookb. Run configure with --enable-wmaker. 3. Compiling make If compilation was unsuccessful or you can get no satisfaction, read previous section. 4. Installing make install 5. Configuring fookb IF YOU COMPILED libWUtil-version of fookb: Copy fookb.cf to ~/GNUstep/Defaults/FOOkb (for Window Maker enabled) or to ~/.fookb (for Window Maker disabled version) and edit this file according to your desire. IF YOU COMPILED non-libWUtil version of fookb: You should put the following resources in your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fookb (or in other file which will be read by xrdb -- such as ~/.Xresources): fookb.icon1: xpm_file_with_full_path fookb.icon2: the same fookb.icon3: the same fookb.icon4: the same fookb.iconBoom: the same fookb.sound: Yes/No fookb.command: some_command (for playing sound) BOTH WAYS: Instead of putting parameter in config file you may use the following command line parameters: -icon1 xpm_file_with_full_path -icon2 the same -icon3 the same -icon4 the same -iconboom the same You may also use -display command line parameter.
