NOTE: This is just the "Compile_Help.doc" file poorly converted to HTML. You may find the orginal file easier to find. At least until I can improve this one.

    1) "gzip -d < xanim2801.tar.gz | tar xvof - "
	OR alternatively:
    		1a)  gunzip xanim2801.tar.gz
    		1b)  tar xvof xanim2801.tar

    2) cd xanim2801 

Now that you've got it, what do you do?  

Part A) 
   If you are using OpenWindows(with SunOS 4.1.3) goto Part B. 
   OpenWindows with SunOS 5.x should be okay here, but not positive.
   If you know that Imake is NOT setup on your system, goto Part B.
   If you're not sure about Imake, try it anyways and on any failure
   goto Part B and skip any initial steps you've already done.
   Imake for a lot of linux releases is broken. See 2nd entry of
   "Compile_Errs.doc" for details on how to fix.
   
    1) Read the following files: 
           README.dll
           README.zlib
    2) If you aren't using XA_DLL(see README.dll) then also read the following:
           cinepak.readme
           indeo.readme
           creative.readme
    3) Read and edit the Imakefile. Visit each section and
          a) Modify section IIIa based on info in the file "README.dll".
          b) Modify section IIIb based on info in the file "README.zlib".
          c) Modify section IIIc based on info in the "cinepak.readme",
             "indeo.readme" and "creative.readme"  files. NOTE: ONLY IF
             YOU ARE NOT USING THE DLLs(see step a above).
          d) In Section IV.a, indicate where the X11 includes and libs 
             are located on your machine. 
          e) Modify Section IV.b based on which rev of X11 you are running.
          f) In Section VI indicate which XA_AUDIO_DEFS/LIBS/etc is correct
             for your particular machine/OS combination.
          g) Check Section VII for any machine or OS specific notes, etc.
    4) xmkmf
    5) make xanim
    6) NOTE: you should use "make xaclean" instead of "make clean" if you
       wanted to preserve the cinepak/indeo decompression modules.
       I haven't found a way to override Imake's clean yet.

    If steps 2) or 3) failed, then your system most likely isn't setup up
    properly for Imake(xmkmf). Either talk to your System Administrator 
    or goto Part B.


Part B)
    IF  Part A ABOVE FAILED, OR Imake ISN'T PROPERLY SETUP OR YOU'RE USING
    Sun OpenWindows INSTEAD OF X11

    1) cp Makefile.unx Makefile
    2) Edit the Makefile and: 
          a) Read and possibly modify Section IIa and IIb.
          b) Modify section IIIa based on info in the file "README.dll".
          c) Modify section IIIb based on info in the file "README.zlib".
          d) Modify section IIIc based on info in the "cinepak.readme",
             "indeo.readme" and "creative.readme"  files. NOTE: ONLY IF
             YOU ARE NOT USING THE DLLs(see "b)" above).
          f) In Section IV.a, indicate where the X11 includes and libs 
             are located on your machine. 
          g) Modify Section IV.b based on which rev of X11 you are running.
          h) In Section VI indicate which XA_AUDIO_DEFS/LIBS/etc is correct
             for your particular machine/OS combination.
          i) Check Section VII for any machine or OS specific notes, etc.

    3) On Suns you need to have your LD_LIBRARY_PATH match the XLIBDIR
       define inside the Makefile. If it doesn't, you might end up mismatching
       different revs of X11 includes and libraries, causing all sorts of
       failures(usually undefined symbols). NOTE: This also has to match
       when you try executing XAnim, or it may not be able to find the 
       proper libraries.

	To find out what you LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to: 

        	"env | grep LD"

	The following examples are for OpenWindows(XLIBDIR = /usr/openwin/lib) 
	To set it up properly for OpenWindows in the (C shell):

        	"setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib"

	To set it up properly for OpenWindows in the (Korn, Bourne and 
	POSIX shells):

        	"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib"
        	"export LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

	NOTE: No spaces around "=" sign.

    4) make xanim

    If your not sure where your X11 libs or includes are, your SysAdm should
    know or I can help as well. Also the Makefile.unx file has example places
    on where to look.
