README for xcolrsel Version 1.1
Xcolrsel is an X Window System application that allows the user to
display all of the standard X11 colors from the rgb.txt file as backgrounds
and foregrounds. Once a color combination has been picked, its background
and foreground color names may be transferred into the mouse buffer for use
by other X Window System applications.
To build xcolrsel under X11R5 and X11R6, cd to the xcolrsel directory and type:
xmkmf -a
make >& makecsel.log
This will build a Makefile in the directory and all subdirectories, and then
build the software. If the build is successful, you should be able to
install it using the same commands used for the xc software:
make install >& install.log
make install.man >& man.log
Xcolrsel has been tested on the following platforms:
X11R5:
Sun 4c and 4m running SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.3
HP 715/33 running HP-UX A.09.01
SGI Indy running Irix 5.1.0.1
X11R6:
Sun 4c running Solaris 2.3
