NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System =================================== Welcome to NCSA Mosaic. This README details installation steps. More complete information and documentation on NCSA Mosaic is available online, via NCSA Mosaic. Binaries -------- This release of NCSA Mosaic is known to compile on the following platforms: SGI (IRIX 4.0.2) IBM (AIX 3.2) Sun 4 (SunOS 4.1.2 with stock X11R4 and Motif 1.1). DECstation 5000-200 (Ultrix). DEC Alpha (OSF/1). Binaries for these platforms are available on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Mosaic/xmosaic-binaries. Rumor has it that Mosaic will compile on systems like: Hewlett Packard HP/UX 7.x, 8.x, 9.x. Dell SVR4 Sun Solaris 2.x SCO Open Desktop Harris Nighthawk NeXT BSD If you have to make changes to NCSA Mosaic to get it to compile on a particular platform, please send a set of context diffs (e.g., 'diff -c oldfile newfile') to [email protected]. Installation instructions ------------------------- So far, there's no toplevel Makefile. This both simplifies and complicates things. Follow these steps: (1) Examine and modify Makefile in libwww. Do 'make'. (2) Examine and modify Makefile in libhtmlw. Do 'make'. (3) Decide whether you want to compile with DTM and DMF support. DTM support allows you to send documents over NCSA's Data Transfer Mechanism protocol to NCSA Collage, a real-time collaboration tool that runs on X and Macs (available at ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /Collab), and other DTM clients. Once a text file is in Collage it can be freely edited or doodled upon, alone or in concert with other people over the network. DMF support would allow you to connect to NCSA Data Management Facility servers, if we had any publicly available accessible, which we don't, and which we probably won't in the future. If you're not interested in either of these things, then you shouldn't bother compiling them in. Otherwise, you should compile both of them in. If you don't want DTM and DMF support, go to step (6). (4) Build the DTM library in libdtm (which has support for various architectures built in). Do 'make sgi', 'make sun', or whatever. Some architectures aren't supported by libdtm; in the event that your particular architecture isn't, don't worry about it -- go straight to step (6). (5) ONLY DO THIS IF YOU'VE ALSO DONE STEP 4: Examine and modify Makefile in libdmf. Do 'make'. (6) Examine and modify Makefile in src. If you didn't want DTM and DMF support in step (3), make sure and specify this in the Makefile where appropriate. Do 'make'. (7) If you do not normally run Motif on your system (e.g., if you run Sun OpenWindows instead), then you may get a whole bunch of run-time errors about translations when you start Mosaic. If this happens, copy the file XKeysymDB (included in this directory) to /usr/lib/X11. See the FAQ list online for more information. X Defaults ---------- NCSA Mosaic includes sets of fallback X resources that provide reasonable screen display properties for three configurations: color, monochrome, and color SGI. (Color SGI has its own configuration since SGI systems commonly use a gamma correction factor of 1.7, which makes their screens brighter than usual.) If you compile NCSA Mosaic out of the box, or if you download a binary from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu, the default resources will be for a color display (or, if you compile on an SGI, the default will be for color SGI). See src/Makefile for information on how to have monochrome resources by default. On the command line, the flags '-mono' and '-color' allow you to switch resource configurations at runtime. For your convenience, three corresponding X app-defaults files are included in this distribution: app-defaults.color, app-defaults.color-sgi, and app-defaults.mono. Bug Reports and Comments ------------------------ Bug reports and other comments can be sent to [email protected]. If you find NCSA Mosaic useful or particularly interesting, please also send us a note -- continued development of this project partially depends on user feedback and support.
