This kterm basically needs X11R6.1 libraries and include files.
47
In X11R6.1 environment, just type:
50
In X11R6 environment, if you have some luck (your system supports fd_set
51
type and FD_* macros), you can compile kterm without modification.
56
Install kterm and KTerm.ad:
59
Install kterm.man manual page:
62
If your system supports Japanese manual pages and you want to install
63
kterm.jman, copy it to an appropriate directory/filename in an
64
appropriate encoding by hand. Note that kterm.jman is encoded in JIS
67
If your system does not have kterm entry in the termcap or terminfo,
68
you may want to install termcap.kt or terminfo.kt by hand.
73

112
*1 Kterm and X libraries must be compiled with -DX_LOCALE to use XIM.
113
*2 Kterm must be compiled with -DUSE_POSIX_WAIT to eliminate a warning.
114
*3 Kterm must be linked with -lxpg4 to use XIM.
119
Killing an IM server while it is establishing connection with a kterm,
120
or on a kterm which is connected with the server may hang the kterm
121
(because of imperfection around IM handling in Xlib).
126
o Use of fontSet resources.
127
o More ISO6429 attributes.
