How do I compile xdd on a UNIX platform?

The supported UNIX platforms are:

• Linux (Redhat 2.4.x and above, Suse 9.2 (2.6 kernel) and above)
• Solaris (8, 9, and 10, > SPARC and i86 Solaris)
• Mac OS X - Darwin
• IRIX - 6.5.x and above
• AIX
• HPUX
• FreeBSD

The from the xdd directory that contains the source distribution enter the following command:

make -f os.makefile xdd

where "os" is the operating system you are running on. For example, on a Linux machine you would enter make -f linux.makefile xdd and the xdd executable should magically appear in the "bin" sub directory as xdd.linux.

Similarly, the timeserver and gettime programs can be compiled the same way:

make -f os.makefile timeserver

make -f os.makefile gettime

and the timeserver.os and/or gettime.os executables will appear in the bin subdirectory.

How do I compile xdd on a Windows platform?

The Windows executables are generally shipped with the standard distribution. However, if you feel compelled to rebuild xdd.exe, timeserver.exe, or gettime.exe you can do so using MS Visual Studio.net which is what I use to guild the Windows version.
