XMgr

Xmgr was ftped from http://www.teleport.com/~pturner/acegr/. We start with the Makefile that comes with the distribution and change the following.
  1. Change the help browser from mosaic to netscape
  2. Change the Application Default file location to /usr/local/lib
  3. Comment out the default linux libraries and include locations
  4. Uncomment the platform specific libraries and includes for solaris or osf. For Solaris add the -lnsl (Name Service Library).
  5. Verify the printer string command and make any flag changes like removing -h or adding -P strings.
Run make. If the compilation is done correctly, then you can do a make -n install to verify what will be done and then do a make install to do it.

On the solaris 2.5 platforms, the xmgr program and the wordperfect for windows program were unable to locate the XKeysymDB file which is located in /usr/openwin/lib/X11 area. We had to make a soft link to this area from /usr/local/lib/X11 area to get rid of the errors.
