libXmd
Before building any of the applications you will need to build libXmd, which contains code common to most of them:
# cd libXmd
# ./build.sh install
Individual applications
Individual applications can be installed using ./build.sh in their respective
subdirectories:
# cd <application>
# ./build.sh install
Replicants
Xmd provides something called replicants, which are dynamically loaded widgets
that can be placed inside of xmpanel. They can be installed using ./build.sh
in their respective subdirectories:
# cd replicants/<replicant>
# ./build.sh install
Glue
Xmd includes some scripts to provide a standard interface for common graphical
tasks like taking screenshots. These can be installed using ./install.sh in
the glue directory.
Session
Xmd includes several scripts to facilitate using it as a desktop environment. It
can be installed using ./install.sh in the session directory. Note that
without a configuration in place, the session scripts don't really do anything
useful. The next section of this document describes how to install a default
configuration.
Default configuration
A default configuration can be installed by running ./install.sh in the
defaults directory. It contains:
- An MWM configuration
- .xinitrc and .xsession files
- Default startup items
- MWM
- XMPanel
- Default panel replicants
