15INSTALLING
16
17- Unpack the distribution. A subdirectory named 'xtrojka123' will be
18 created.
19
20- Edit the Makefile to change your system's specific settings.
21
22- Copy one of the 'XTrojka.???' files to 'XTrojka'. Currently the
23 following XTrojka files are shipped.
24
25 XTrojka.us English version configuration
26 XTrojka.nl Dutch version configuration
27 XTrojka.hu.tmp Unofficial Hungarian version configuration.
28
29 Read the information in the files on how to make more language
30 versions.
31
32- Type 'make'.
33
34- To install it, type 'make install'.
35
36- To clean up the directory from unneeded stuff, type 'make clean'.
37
38- With 'make tar' you can make a tar file of xtrojka.
39
40- Also copy XTrojka to the app-defaults directory on your system
41
42- If you use XPM, you should at least have version 3.4d of the library,
43 since it fixes a pallette bug. It also works with earlier versions,
44 but don't be surprised if things crash.
45
46Trojka should run on the following configurations
47
48- Sun Sparc running SunOS 4.3 or Solaris 2.3
49- Sun386i systems running SunOS 4.2
50- Linux boxen.
51
52It's interesting to put the highscore file in some network shared
53directory. When playing, track is kept of new high scores of other
54players on the network. Beware: the locking mechanism is poor. It
55sometimes goes wrong, but only warnings are given. You can turn of
56locking, by uncommenting the -DLOCKING flag in the Makefile.
57
58If you had to change major things in the Makefile or the source-code,
59to make it running on your system, PLEASE mail the changes to me, so
60that the versions are managed centrally and I can keep them up to date.
