To install Xgfe:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE QT LIBRARIES FROM http://www.troll.no/ INSTALLED
AND WORKING CORRECTLY!

- login as root
- cd ./source
- edit Makefile.common to suit your system
- choose a Makefile for your system and rename it Makefile (current
  Makefile is for linux-gcc)
- make
- make install

type xgfe to run the program. 

There is a pre-compiled binary for Red Hat 5.0 Linux with glibc in the
source directory if you want to use that. If you do, just run "make
install" and you are done. 

There is only one executable named xgfe. After running make install,
the default locations are to put the executable in /usr/local/bin and
the docs in /usr/local/doc/xgfe-2.0. 

You can compile a statically linked version by running "make static"
instead of "make" in the above list of commands. You have to have libqt.a
to do this. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about
it. 

All makefile for xgfe were generated with Qt's tmake perl script so I hope
they will work. 

If you have linking problems dealing with basic_string, but not
compile errors, then the linker can't find the correct standard c++
libraries on your system. One user who had this type of problem in
HP-UX added:

-I/opt/gcc/libg++/lib/g++-include

to the INCPATH and

-L/opt/gcc/libg++/lib -lg++ -lstdc++ 

to the LIBS definition to solve the problem (modify for your
system). 

This tells the linker where the g++ libraries are for
linking. I use gcc 2.7.2.8 on Red Hat Linux 5.0 and the Makefile file
works fine on my system. 

If you compile it under other OS's than the ones listed on the Xgfe
webpage, I would appreciate a copy to make available for others.
