The DB Software Package has been successfully compiled on dozens of Unix variants, using both ANSI/ISO and K&R C compilers.
Copy the source files (in the software/db directory) to a working directory on your hard disk, then examine db/Makefile for information about compiling the DB Software Package on your system. In most cases, you will need to change a few settings in db/Makefile to configure the software for your system, then type make to compile the software, and make install to install it. You will need root permissions to install the software in the standard locations.
WAVE is not part of the DB Software Package, but is intended to work with this package on systems that support X11 and XView (currently Linux, Solaris, and SunOS). If you would like to use WAVE on another UNIX system, you will need to port XView to your system first (or purchase a commercial port if one is available). Sources for XView are supplied on our CD-ROMs, and are also available from sunsite.unc.edu, tsx-11.mit.edu, and their mirrors. We cannot offer assistance in porting XView; if you wish to try this, you are on your own. If you successfully port the cmdtool terminal emulator application included in the XView sources, we will assist you in porting WAVE (this is much simpler than the XView port).
