2 A RISC OS-like filer for X
9 Type this ($ is the shell prompt):
13 and follow the on-screen instructions. If you want to compile as a normal
14 user and install as root then you should do this instead:
16 $ ROX-Filer/AppRun --compile
18 [ enter root password ]
24 If you got this from CVS then you'll need to have 'autoconf' installed
25 before you can compile (the snapshots on the FTP site don't require this).
27 You will also need to create the postscript manual from the Lyx file and
28 run 'dist' in 'ROX-Filer/src/po' to get the translations.
30 Instructions on getting rox via CVS can be found at:
32 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7023
34 Once you have a version of rox from CVS you can update it by simply doing
38 from inside the 'rox' directory.
40 Finally, remember that the CVS version is the very latest developer code. It
41 has not been well tested. It may have bugs. It may not even compile. You
47 Help for ROX-Filer can be found in the directory ROX-Filer/Help.
53 Two places are used for MIME-handling configuration files:
56 Contains the rules for guessing a file's type from its name.
57 Many programs come with files called '<prog>.mime' which contain
58 additional rules. Put these files in the MIME-info directory too.
60 <Choices>/MIME-types/*
61 Contains programs or symlinks which will be run.
66 $ <Choices>/MIME-types/image_gif picture.gif
67 or, if that isn't found,
68 $ <Choices>/MIME-types/image picture.gif
70 In both cases, <Choices> is all the directories in your CHOICESPATH
71 environment variable, which defaults to:
73 ~/Choices:/usr/local/share/Choices:/usr/share/Choices
75 The leftmost directory listed is searched first, followed by the others in
76 order. If the string starts with a `:' then saving is disabled and no program
77 will attempt to save any configuration into it. For more details, see:
