Installation instructions for wmstock.

Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wmstock requires the Xpm library (which should be available on most machines
with XFree86 installed). And it requires that the GNU wget utility be installed
as well. wget is a utility that allows you to grab stuff like html files and
images diretly off the www without using a graphical browser. (Also, you
obviously need to be connected to internet in a way that wget will work.)
You also need to have Perl installed.

On FreeBSD systems you may need to use gmake instead of make.

On Solaris 2.x you will need to uncomment a line in the Makefile.
Uncomment the line below for Solaris and comment out the line below
for Linux.


Installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) install wget (the GNU web get command) if you do not have it (see below)
1) gunzip wmstock-0.0x.tar.gz	(substite appropriate number for x ;) 
1) tar -xvf wmstock-0.0x.tar
2) cd wmstock-0.0x/src/
3) make clean
4) make 
4a) [optional] strip wmstock  (this will cut the size down by 2/3)
5) make install (must be root) 
6) wmstock & (or 'wmstock -h' for help, or 'man wmstock' for the man page)
7) You need to set the location of perl correctly in testqt.pl if your perl
   is located in a place other than /usr/bin/


wget
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wget is available here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/

you must have it installed an in your path for the perl script to be able
to download your data.

I am using wget 1.5.3 with my development, so I cannot say for sure
whether or not this will work on any other versions.
