The Imakefile in this directory must be edited for your system. It contains a few questions at the beginning, along with explanatory comments. Make sure you set the values appropriately. The bulk of the xmove source code should be generic enough that it can compile on most systems. It uses sockets for client/server communications. Building xmove also requires a properly configured Imake. To compile xmove: $ cd xmove $ xmkmf $ make This should create the xmove executable. If you chose to load libraries dynamically, you should ensure that xmove is successfully finding its library. After building the library, run xmove. Make certain that it says "Loaded mapping library <filename>" If not, xmove is not finding its library. Make certain xmove's Imakefile has the full path to the library's directory. If you are not loading the library dynamically, the standard libatommap library source code will be compiled statically into xmove. The disadvantage is that, with this configuration, you will be unable to use future libraries by simply placing them into xmove's library directory. However, if you are not using a Sun workstation, this may not even be an option as the dynamic loading of libraries via dlopen() is not standardized between Unix platforms. To ensure maximum compatibility between workstation configurations, do not load the library dynamically. The xmove executable is standalone and can be relocated to any directory desired.
