These are some instructions on installation and building of the software in
this distribution.
To use the software in this release, you must first uncompress and untar
the distribution file.
This will create a directory called wais-8-b4, with a number of
subdirectories.
To build the software, first modify the file wais-8-b4/Makefile according
to the comments to conform to your particular Hardware/Software
architecture. You will have to set the variable "TOP", as this is not done
automatically. Be sure to comment out the lines that ay "comment-me". Then
simply type "make".
Most of the software will be made automatically, but the X windows user
interface may not be made due to your particular system's installation of
the X windows base software. New with this release is an Imakefile, which
can be used to create a Makefile that includes the locations of the X
software for a particular site. If you can build an X application, you
should be able to build xwais.
More information on this release can be found in the README file in this
directory.
