+------------------------------------+ | 1. Installing with libnova support | +------------------------------------+ If you have libnova installed with its default prefix "/usr/local" just do make in the source directory to build the xmoontool binary. Then issue make install as root to install the executable in /usr/X11R6/bin and the man page xmoontool.1 in /usr/X11R6/man/man1. In the case you have chosen a different prefix for libnova, specify this prefix for the above targets by setting the variable LOCALBASE appropriately. In other words, enter a command of the form make LOCALBASE= install to build and install xmoontool. +---------------------------------------+ | 2. Installing without libnova support | +---------------------------------------+ This means that you have to instruct `make` not to look for libnova on your system. Execute make WITHOUT_LIBNOVA=yes to build, and make WITHOUT_LIBNOVA=yes install as root to install the xmoontool executable and the man page with the prefix "/usr/X11R6". +-------------------+ | 3. Deinstallation | +-------------------+ Just enter make uninstall to remove any previously installed xmoontool files. +-----------------------+ | 4. Additional remarks | +-----------------------+ Note that the supplied 'Makefile' is intended for BSD make, whereas the 'GNUmakefile' is automatically chosen by GNU make. No other versions of make have been tested so far. Inspect/edit the most suitable makefile if you have special desires. Enjoy!
