USAGE
Just run the program, and the clock should display.
Click and drag to move the clock. Hit ESC on the clock to kill it.
The clock is mostly idle, except every 20 seconds when it
updates with the current time.
DEPENDENCIES
This code uses the FLTK Fast and Light Toolkit to do the GUI stuff.
At the time of this writing, FLTK 1.0.7 was the current version,
supported under WinNT, Linux and SGI.
The latest version can be downloaded from http://www.fltk.org/
PRECOMPILED BINARIES
There are precompiled binaries in the bin.* directories.
The Makefiles do not overwrite them.
LINUX BUILD/INSTALL
1) cp Makefile.LINUX Makefile
2) Tweak the Makefile's 'FLTK' variable to point to your FLTK installation.
3) Then just say 'make'.
4) cp nixieclock /usr/local/bin, or whatever.
IRIX BUILD/INSTALL
1) cp Makefile.IRIX Makefile
2) Tweak the Makefile's 'FLTK' variable to point to your FLTK installation.
3) Then just say 'make'.
4) cp nixieclock /usr/local/bin, or whatever.
WINDOWS BUILD/INSTALL
1) Open a DOS window.
2) COPY Makefile.MICROSOFT Makefile
3) Tweak the Makefile's 'FLTK' variable to point to your FLTK installation.
4) Then just say 'nmake'
5) COPY nixieclock.exe \your\bin
NOTES: If nmake fails, or says 'command not found', make sure your
environment variables in DOS are set correctly:
a) Do a Find Files on the disk with your compiler, and search for
a BAT file called 'VCVARS32.BAT'. Run it to setup the compiler's
environment.
b) Now retry step #3.
