- FILES: README - this file.
- Imakefile
- Makefile.std - the standard make file.
- xbmbrowser.c \
- xbmbrowser.h -
- callbacks.c - the 'C' code.
- misc.c /
- xbmbrowser.man - a simple manual page.
- xbmbrowser.help - the help file that the program uses - see below.
-
-
- There are three things that you must setup for your site:
-
- EDITOR constant:
- In the file 'xbmbrowser.h' you must set the name (and possibly the full path
- if it is not in the normal path) of the bitmap editor you wish to use.
- The editor MUST accept the command line of:
-
- bitmapeditor <bitmap file to edit>
-
- where bitmapeditor is the editor you select and <bitmap file to edit>
- is a bitmap file name (passed to it by xbmbrowser)
-
- NOTE: If you wish to pass arguments to the editor, then put them into this
- define, and the filename will be appended to the end.
-
- SETROOT constant:
- And also in the file 'xbmbrowser.h' you must set the name (and possibly the
- full path if it is not in the normal path) of the program to set a bitmap
- as the decoration for the root window. The default is 'xsetroot' and all
- the things that you can do to the EDITOR setting apply to this.
-
- SETROOTINV constant:
- This is the name and options of the program to set a bitmap as the root window
- decoration inverted (colors inverted).
-
-
- If you put and empty set of quotes ("") for any of these variables, then the
- corresponding selection in the menu will be insensitive so it won't run.
-
- This is already setup to use 'bitmap' when it is in the path that the
- program gets.
-
- Installation:
-
- With Imake:
-
- type:
- xmkmf
- make
- make install
- make instal.man
-
- With normal make:
-
- type:
- mv Makefile.std Makefile
- make
- then you will have to manually move the executable and man page to where
- you want to put them.
-
- For information on how to use xbmbrowser, look at xbmbrowser.help, or press the
- [Help] button when it is running.
-
- If you wish to change the program, then please feel free. However You must
- leave the copyright notices unchanged but add one detailing your changes, you
- should also not just increment the version number, but add something unique
- to it (like your name or something).
