Solaris

WindowLab has been successfully compiled on Solaris 10 x86 using gcc. These instructions may also work in Solaris Sparc but I do not have a Sparc machine to test it on.

Download and uncompress the WindowLab tarball. Make WindowLab with gmake. Make sure gcc is in your PATH, usually it is installed in /usr/ccs/bin. If you use sun's make, the compile will fail. DO NOT attempt make install or gmake, Neither will work!

Once compiling is finished you can move the WindowLab binary anywhere in your PATH.  If you want the WindowLab man page, you'll have to move it manually as well.

Known Issues:

When you login into WindowLab, you will have a black screen. This is normal on Solaris. The menu bar is hidden at the top of the screen. Mouse over it to make it visible.

There is no way to gracefully exit WindowLab. To exit and return to DTLogin, open a console and find WindowLab's PID by running prstat. Then kill it.

To make a DTLogin entry, go to http://www.tiem.utk.edu/~peek/solaris/ and follow the instructions found there.

Good luck!
