To install Qbib, perform these steps:
Figure 2.1: Steps to installing Qbib
Line 1 unpacks the Qbib tarball. A directory named qbib-1.3
is created beneath the current directory containing the Qbib distribution.
Line 2 instructs you to change to the qbib-1.3 directory.
Line 3 instructs you to edit the Makefile. There are instructions
in the Makefile to tell you how to prepare for installation.
You must be sure to set the appropriate environment variables to
tell the ``make'' process where your qwish executable is
located. Also, be sure to modify the QBIB_BIN_DIR variable
to tell the ``make'' where to put the Qbib executables.
After you've saved your changes to ``Makefile'', Line 4 starts
the ``make install'' process. After this step, you've completed
your installation and are ready to
run the Qbib programs: newqbib and xqbib.
If you purchased Qbib in binary form, you should follow the instructions on the binary archives web page where you retrieved it.
Note that Qbib 1.3 and later includes a QddbScript for
easy modification by Qddb 1.44 users. If you create
a new Qbib database with newqbib, you can use
nxqddb to access the database instead of xqbib
.
