Hi!
Please read the docs if you want detailed information. In most Linux setups,
'make' alone will be enough. Other systems can edit Makefile and xb_config.h
or try 'xmkmf' using the supplied Imakefile. Here's the QuickStart Guide if
you wanna compile manually: (still need to edit xb_config.h)
Note: steps 1 to 5 have been done for you by the debian xbanner package.
1. gcc -O -o xbanner effect.c xbanner.c xres.c backg.c pix.c
colors.c linger.c util.c plasma.c ripples.c
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lX11
gcc -O -o freetemp freetemp.c util.c -lX11
gcc -O -o random_effect random_effect.c (optional)
gcc -O -o xb_check xb_check.c (optional)
2. mv xbanner freetemp /usr/local/bin/X11 (optional)
3. Copy the sample XBanner.ad (in the samples/
directory) and edit it to suit your taste
4. Place XBanner.ad in the app-defaults dir.
And rename it from XBanner.ad to XBanner.
(usually /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults). (optional)
5. Edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 and add a
line to run xbanner. You can use -display
and -file <other-resource-file>.
6. Edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession and add a
line to run freetemp around the top.
7. Logout to see what it does. (Assuming you
have XDM set up and running already).
If any of the above mentioned files/directories don't exist for you, then
please refer to the documentation for detailed information on where they
can be and how to find them.
Also, the docs contain a lot of other usefule information.

P.S. If you are using XBanner, please send me a note, just so I'll know
about the people using it. If you like it, it would be nice if you
could show this by sending me a postcard to:
