BUILDING
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
You should be able to build and install xclip by running the following commands
|
|
in the xclip source directory:
|
|
|
|
autoreconf # create configuration files
|
|
./configure # create the Makefile
|
|
make # build the binary
|
|
su # su to root to install
|
|
make install # install xclip
|
|
make install.man # install man page
|
|
|
|
This should make and install xclip using the configuration (in terms of install
|
|
directories, libraries, etc) used to build everything else in your X11
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
REQUIREMENTS
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
xclip should compile on pretty much any unix-like system. The requirements to
|
|
compile xclip are pretty minimal, if you can compile any X apps at all, you'll
|
|
be able to compile xclip.
|
|
|
|
This means you will need a C compiler, C development environment, xlib
|
|
development environment, make, etc. All of these should be available as
|
|
packages for most useful distributions.
|
|
|
|
PLATFORMS
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
xclip should compile and work on any unix-like platform, I have taken great
|
|
effort to avoid using anything that isn't absolutely standard.
|
|
|
|
I have decided that it's not practical to compile a list of specific platforms
|
|
that xclip works on, but it has been known to work on GNU/Linux, Solaris,
|
|
Cygwin and Irix. If you are able to get xclip working on a different platform,
|
|
or have any problems getting it to work on a platform you feel it should work
|
|
on, please drop me an email - I'd be interested to know.
|
|
|
|
TESTING
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
The xctest shell script tests xclip by creating a file, and transferring it
|
|
with xclip -i and xclip -o to put it trough xclip, then making sure that
|
|
xclip -o returns exactly what we put in with xclip -i with diff. It was written
|
|
primarily for my own benefit so that I can quickly test that all xclip features
|
|
are working correctly after I make a change. However, I have included it to
|
|
help out anyone who may be modifying the xclip code themselves.
|
|
|
|
Basically, when you run xctest, you shouln't see any extra output from diff
|
|
inbetween each test (because the input and output should be identical).
