Creating an rpm package
You first need the correct fox-1.6.x and fox-devel-1.6.x packages to be installed. To
create an RPM package from the Xfe sources, simply type:
rpmbuild -ta xfe-1.32.tar.gz
The created RPM package xfe-1.32-1.i386.rpm is usually located in /usr/src/rpm/RPM/i386,
but this may vary depending on your distribution and/or your customizations.
To install the created RPM package xfe-1.04-1.i386.rpm, enter the following command
(as root):
rpm -Uvh xfe-1.32-1.i386.rpm
Creating a Debian package
You first need the correct libfox1.6 and libfox1.6-dev packages to be installed.
Extract the sources and enter the source directory:
tar zxvf xfe-1.32.tar.gz
cd xfe-1.32
Then, build the Debian package (no need to sign the package, thus the -uc -us options):
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
And finally, install the created package (as root):
cd ..
dpkg -i xfe_1.32-1_i386.deb
Creating a self extracting package
You first need the correct FOX libraries 1.6.x installed and working on your system.
First, extract the sources and enter the source directory :
tar zxvf xfe-1.32.tar.gz
cd xfe-1.32
Create the self extracting binary package :
sh makesfx.sh
And finally, install the created package (as root):
sh xfe-1.32-i386.sh
