[Xitami] Yeah!

[Magus]

Hello All,

  Just a brief note that with some help I have been able to compile
  Xitami from source code! For those of you that want to know, here's
  how I did it:

  From www.imatix.com download any one of the tools "Libero, SMT, GSL
  or SFL" The download's page lets you download "Rbase_1_0_src.zip" or
  "...src.tar.gz" for all of them. Then get the source for Xitami
  or Xitami-Pro or both. The web pages and other sources of
  information indicate that Windows 2000-Pro is the preferred platform
  to compile on, so if you have a fast enough processor and XP then
  download from Microsoft their free Virtual PC and set up a Windows
  2000-Pro machine.

  Next extract the rbase archive to the virtual machine's disk. Now
  open a command prompt and change to the ".../rbase/src" directory.
  Type build at the command prompt and watch the files get compiled.
  You will have a new directory called imatix created for you.

  Go to Control Panel | System | Environment Variables and edit the
  path statement to include the ...\imatix\bin\. directory.

  Next extract the source for Xitami into it's own directory which
  we'll call ".../xiopen_2_5_src". In the command Prompt window change
  to this directory and type "build". Watch the files being compiled.
  You will have a new directory created for you called
  ".../imatix/xitami-25" where you will find the compiled contents.
  Simply move it to where ever you want and start it up.

  Topics for my further investigation: Will they compile under XP? and
  BSD? Once those are determined then it's time for some changes to
  the Xitami source.

  I hope this helps.
