About

Build the package (V1.2.1)

AIX

1. In cfg.c change

   #include <sys/fcntl.h> 
   

   to

   #include <fcntl.h> 
   

2. In error.h adapt the varying argument macros

   #if defined(_AIX)
   #define ERR_MSG(...) show_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, __VA_ARGS__ )
   #define APP_MSG(...) show_error ("", -1, __VA_ARGS__ )
   #else
   #define ERR_MSG(x,args...) show_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, x, ## args)
   #define APP_MSG(x,args...) show_error ("", -1, x, ## args)
   #endif
   

3. Remove the -Wall flag in Makefile.in
4. run

   configure CC=cc CFLAGS=-O2 --prefix=/tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1 # AIX native C compiler, install into /tmp
                                                             # attempt to add Xpm support (with example for location):
   configure CC=cc CFLAGS="-O2 -I/bio/local/../61/include" LDFLAGS="-L/bio/local/../61/lib" --prefix=/tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1 
   make clean
   make
   

   to create the executables

5. make install
   

   will copy essential executables and man pages (to /tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1/).
6. In addition, copy

   mkdir -p          /tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1/etc  # config dir.
   cp -p xdmchoose.conf /tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1/etc  # config file
   cp -p *.xpm          /tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1/etc  # background pixmaps
   

7. create a package (example):

   cd /tmp/xdmchooser-1.2.1/
   tar -cvf - * | compress >xdmchooser-1.2.1.tar.Z
   

Install & customize

1. choose a target directory (represented by $DST) and unpack e.g.:

   mkdir $DST/xdmchooser-1.2.1
   cd    $DST/xdmchooser-1.2.1
   zcat  xdmchooser-1.2.1.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
   

2. If desired, adapt the config file $DST/etc/xdmchoose.conf, e.g.:

   app.startscript   "$DST/bin/xdmchooser-background.sh"
   panel.background  "$DST/etc/xdmchoose-blur.xpm"
   app.hostlist      "bio.pool" "aix-pool" "lx-pool"
   

3. In /etc/dt/config/Xconfig (if not existing, copy from /usr/dt/config/Xconfig) add the line

   Dtlogin*chooser:   $DST/bin/xdmchooser --config $DST/etc/xdmchoose.conf
