How to Get It for Sparc Sun Solaris2.5

To bring over the pre-built Solaris version of Fresco:

1. There are two versions available:

A light version Solaris25-CC401-lite.tar.gz takes up about 19MB when unzipped.

A heavier version Solaris25-CC401.tar.gz contains .o so you can step around using the your debugger. For the heavier version, you'll need at least 180MB.

2. Uncompress and extract the Fresco source tree:

    % gunzip Solaris25-CC401-lite.gz
    % tar xvf Solaris25-CC401-lite.tar

This will put the Fresco src tree in a directory named Fresco96.

To set up and test your environment:

1. Set your path to include the build/X11/bin directory and your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include build/X11/lib as follows:

      % setenv PATH <FRESCO>/build/X11/bin:$PATH
      % setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <FRESCO>/build/X11/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

where <FRESCO> denotes the absolute path to the Fresco96 directory.

2. Try out the examples programs and fdraw.

    % examples
    % fdraw

3. To run the collaborative examples, see these instructions.
