Chapter 3: Copyright
Chapter 1: Obtaining xwatch
XWatch can be obtained at the ftp site ftp.icce.rug.nl, in the directory /pub/unix, as the file xwatch-X.YY.tar.gz.
X.YY is the version number, e.g., 1.00. This site is the primary site,
so check here for new versions.
To unpack the archive, change-dir to your `sources' directory (e.g.,
/usr/local/src) and type
tar xvzf /where/ever/you/put/it/xwatch-X.YY.tar.gz
Next, change-dir to the unpacked subdirectory xwatch and check there.
You will find a subdirectory src with the full sources.
Chapter 2: Compiling xwatch
This file is automatically generated from doc/xwatch.yo. Please
also read the full docs in HTML format as doc/xwatch.html or in LaTeX
format as doc/xwatch.tex. A poor-mans document is doc/xwatch.txt,
that's plain ASCII for those who can't handle HTML or LaTeX.
Follow these steps.
o You will need the XForms library and include files to compile
xwatch. Check the Makefile in the src subdirectory for
two ftp sites that carry XForms for Linux. Obtain the library and
install it. XWatch will happily run with XForms version 0.81 or 0.88.
o In the src subdirectory, edit the Makefile and adjust
some defines at the top. E.g., a make install copies the binary by
default to /usr/local/X11/bin; adjust that if you don't like this
behavior.
o Next, do a make install, followed by a make clean.
o Copy the file XWatch.ap from the source directory to
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XWatch. Edit the file and state your
favorite settings.
o Next, start the program xwatch with some file arguments in
your logfiles directory. If you're satisfied with the appearance and
workings of xwatch, add the invocation to your script that starts
an X session.
