    kdrill v5.9.2 INSTALL file

READ THIS FILE CAREFULLY.

 kdrill REQUIRES an ANSI-C compiler
(And X11R5 libXaw, or better)


You should scan through the top of "Imakefile", for things to tweak before
compiling.

TO INSTALL on most systems, do;

xmkmf
make
make install
make install.man

You may also choose to install some or all of the extra .dic files
in the "makedic" directory, for those people who haven't
learned hiragana yet. Just 'cp' them as desired.

Please read the rest of this file.

 ##################################################

Read "README" about getting "kanjidic", if you do not have it yet.

  >>>>>>>  THIS IS THE ACTUAL "Dictionary"  <<<<<

kdrill comes with two dictionaries;
The simple kana pronunciation dictionaries in the makedic subdir, and an
ABBREVIATED "kanjidic" file in this directory. You should get the full
one. See the README file, or manpage, on where to get it.

Currently, there are a few options how to install the dictionary file.
By default, kdrill will look for /usr/local/lib/kanjidic.gz
The ".gz" means that it expects a gzipped file. 
I strongly advise you to get gzip, and save yourself some space.

If you really really don't want gzip, but do want to use compress or
something, change the Imakefile defines for UNCOMPRESSEXT and UNCOMPRESS.
If you don't want to compress your dictionaries, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
Just make sure the filenames are correct(without any extention), and it will
automatically work.
You can change what file it looks for, with "kdrill -kdictfile filename"

kdrill will check to see if the dictionary is compressed or not, judging by
whether it has the UNCOMPRESSEXT on the end.  If it is compressed, it will
attempt to open the file through the uncompression program of your choice.
If the dictionary is not compressed, it will open the file "normally".


COLOR OPTIONS:
KDrill now comes slight colored. It uses grey (Oooooo!)
You may tune to taste via the KDrill.ad file. "make install" will
hopefully put it in the right place for you.
That file is also where you can change global defaults like where the
dictionary is, if you dont feel like recompiling.

If you have a monochrome system (I feel sorry for you) you might want to
just comment out the color lines in the "KDrill.ad" resource file, if you
have it installed.  (or not bother to install it at all)

Note for X newbies:
"KDrill.ad" is the "resource file", that should be installed as
"KDrill", in the appropriate directory. "make install" should do that
for you. If you don't have the permissions required to install it, you can
put the lines you want from it, in ~/.Xdefaults, or some similar file that
should get loaded automatically when you start up X.


MISC COMPILING ISSUES

kdrill now requires that you have the "strstr(a,b)" C library call.
I THINK just about everyone has it nowadays.
(if you don't, please let me know)
All it does is check whether string b is in string a.
