Message-ID: <8811172027.AA00715@kanga.lpr.edu> Date: 17 Nov 88 20:27:59 GMT Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 27 I am fairly new to Makefiles and want to install X11R3 in sections so I can delete the object files once the necessary library and executable files are generated. After getting the compressed X11R3_core_distribution via ftp, uncompressing it and then running it through "tar -xvf", I have 25.5 MBytes free. I plan to install the fonts, binaries, etc. in /usr/machine/users/local and then install symbolic links from /usr/lib/X11, /usr/bin/X11, etc. Does anyone have reccomendations on how I should proceed? I am installing the software on a SUN-3/180 running SunOS-3.5. I have read the ReleaseNotes, the README in server/ddx/sun, util/imake.includes/Sun.macros and util/imake.includes/Imake.tmpl. So far, I've run afoul twice trying to install this system. -- Thanks! Miles Lane Addresses: lane@kanga.tcp.cs.umass.edu CSNET%"lane@umass"
