Dali Clock

==============================================================================
To build for the X Window System:
cd xdaliclock/X11/
./configure
make
make install
There's also an unfinished GTK port in here. See gtk/README for details.
==============================================================================
To build for MacOS X (10.4 or later) or iPhone:
cd xdaliclock/OSX/
make
then copy "build/Debug/DaliClock.app" to your Applications folder.
Or, you can use the included XCode project.
==============================================================================
To build for PalmOS Classic devices:
cd xdaliclock/palm/
./configure --host=m68k-palmos --build=`../config.guess`
make CFLAGS="-O3"
Then install daliclock.prc on your device through your usual method.
If you don't already have a working PalmOS cross-compilation environment
set up, you'll need to install "m68k-palmos-gcc", "pilrc", "obj-res", and
"build-prc" first. This can be a lot of work -- you're on your own!
Check http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/ to find the things you need.
Check http://www.zenonez.com/prctoolsx/ for MacOS X build tools.
==============================================================================
To build for Palm WebOS devices...
You don't really have to "build" it, because it's all Javascript!

and is cleaner looking than any X font I've seen at
that size...

PseudoColor visuals when using `-transparent'.
Some portability fixes for OpenVMS.
Added `xdaliclock.spec' so that everyone builds their

SERVER_OVERLAY_VISUALS if available -- that makes the

work, unlike the Shape extension.)

not cause the date to be displayed.
23-Feb-96 (v2.07) Added WM_COMMAND property for session management.

Fixed a couple of shape-related bugs.

visual and cmap.

31-May-94 (v2.03) Minor tweaks to Imakefile; submitted for X11r6 contrib.

second, even bigger builtin font. Added the -root
and -fullscreen arguments.
