XWatch
can be obtained at the ftp site ftp.icce.rug.nl
, in the directory /pub/unix
, as the file xwatch-X.YY.tar.gz
.
X.YY
is the version number, e.g., 1.00. This site is the primary site,
so check here for new versions.
To unpack the archive, change-dir to your `sources' directory (e.g.,
/usr/local/src
) and type
tar xvzf /where/ever/you/put/it/xwatch-X.YY.tar.gz
Next, change-dir to the unpacked subdirectory xwatch
and check there.
You will find a subdirectory src
(with the full sources) and a
subdirectory bin-linux
(with a precompiled binary for Linux in ELF
format). You have now two choices: either trust me and copy
bin-linux/xwatch
to e.g. /usr/local/bin
or compile your own
version. The compilation is explained later.
