##################################################################
# REQUIRMENTS: -TK/TCL installed properly
#
#
-TIX installed properly
#
#
-mgetty/vgetty installed properly
#
#
-faxrunqd running at boot time
#
##################################################################
1. Find a suitable directory to start
from (best done from
root account for overall
compatability)
# cd /usr/local/lib
# tar tvfz tkfaxspool-0.x.tar.gz | less
This displays the contents
of the archive (you should always
do this before unpacking a
tar file)
2. Unpack the archive:
# tar xvfz tkfaxspool-0.x.tar.gz
This creates a subdirectory
./tkfaxspool-0.x where all the
extracted files should go.
3. Change to the new directory:
# cd tkfaxspool-0.x
4. run ./install.sh and skip to step
8.
OR
Follow these instructions
for manual installation:
Make sure the mgetty tools
are in your path:
# type faxrm faxspool faxq
Should return the location
of the tools:
faxrm is /usr/local/bin/faxrm
faxspool is /usr/local/bin/faxspool
faxq is /usr/local/bin/faxq
5. Make sure that wish is in your path:
# type wish
Should return the location
of wish:
wish is /usr/bin/wish
6. Make sure that tixwish is in your
path:
# type tixwish
Should return the location
of wish:
wish is /usr/local/bin/tixwish
This is usually a good
indication that tix is installed on your system.
7. Link the directory:
cd /usr/local/lib
ln -s tkfaxspool-0.1
tkfaxspool
Link the script to
/usr/local/bin:
ln -s
/usr/local/lib/tkfaxspool/tkfaxspool /usr/local/bin/tkfaxspool
8. Start the script:
# ./tkfaxspool
Play with it.
9. tkfaxspool also accepts the command
line argument -f /path/filename
This will load the
/path/filename into the "FILES to FAX" list.
This is very useful for
building a FAX-Printer script to print from
any program directly to
tkfaxspool. (See the README for more details)
