The classical game: You're a sysadmin, and someone's trying to destroy your computers. The little people running around the screen are trying to infect your computers with Wingdows [TM], a virus cleverly designed to resemble a popular operating system.

== Installing ==

Using [[Toolchain]] you can compile XBill from the official source code. Make sure you do NOT have a "gtk-config" in your path on your host OS while compiling, otherwise that will add the GTK include paths of your PC and linking will fail.

Get the source:

wget http://www.xbill.org/download/xbill-2.1.tar.gz
tar -xzvf xbill-2.1

Compile with your Toolchain tools, this will install the required Athena library into your Toolchain setup.

mypc$ . setup-env
mypc$ opkg-target install libxaw
mypc$ om-conf --enable-athena
mypc$ cd xbill-2.1
mypc$ make

On Openmoko you need Athena again and a directory for XBill pixmaps:

om-gta02$ opkg install libxaw
om-gta02$ mkdir /usr/share/xbill

Copy to your Openmoko:

mypc$ scp xbill root@192.168.0.202:/usr/bin
mypc$ scp -r pixmaps root@192.168.0.202:/usr/share/xbill
mypc$ scp -r bitmaps root@192.168.0.202:/usr/share/xbill

== Desktop icon ==

Here is an example desktop entry. Create a file called "/usr/share/applications/xbill.desktop" with content:

<pre>
[Desktop Entry]
Version=2.1
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XBill
Comment=XBill
Exec=/usr/bin/xbill
Icon=drm/Drm.png
Categories=Application;Games
Terminal=false
</pre>

== Further improvements ==

Building against GTK+ would be cool. You could try ''om-conf --enable-gtk'', but ./configure will either unable to find ''gtk-config'' or it will use the host OS ''gtk-config'', so it won't work. Please extend this documentation if you know how to build against GTK+.

Please send comments or questions about this installation guide to [[:User:Kempelen]].
