Install Guide

General steps to configure/compile/install Xastir

System Requirements

1) Get one of the source releases and explode it.

Download from Sourceforge

 mkdir xastir
 cp xastir*.tgz xastir
 cd xastir
 tar xzvf xastir*

An alternative to the above steps is to use CVS to download the Xastir sources. See README.CVS for those instructions. CVS allows you to easily keep up to date with the developers.

2) Go into the xastir directory to build the executable:

 cd xastir*

If you used CVS to fetch the sources, you need one more step here before you run configure: "./bootstrap.sh"

 ./configure
 make
 sudo make install (make install-strip can be used after the first time)
 sudo chmod 4555 /usr/local/bin/xastir (only if you use kernel ax.25, see below) 

3) Xastir should be installed in /usr/local/bin (the default on most systems). You can run it by typing this from a shell:

   xastir &
