Power MachTen 4.03 + CU1 + X11R6 Installation (Jan 29,'97)

Hardware Configuration

PowerBook 5300ce

CPU: PowerPC 603e (117MHz) x 1
RAM: 64 MB
HDD: 1.2 GB (builtin)

Macintosh OS Version

Kanji Talk 7.5.5

Installation

• Set up partitions so that
  LC-Fujii PB --> 648MB for Mac.
  LC-Fujii PBUX --> 256MB for MachTen Core.
  LC-Fujii PBUD --> 256MB for /usr/local/.

  Then drag and drop

  MachTen 4.03 Root --> / in "LC-Fujii PBUX".

  Copy the following items

  System Folder items/Control Panels/MachTen Controls --> Control Panels

  System Folder items/Extensions/MachTen NFS (v4.03) --> Extensions
  as indicated by arrows to "System Folder".

  Now invoke CU1 installer and install CU1 to MachTen 4.03 Root in "LC-Fujii PBUX". Then make sure that the old MachTen library is not in the System extensions folder (This is necessary for KT7.5x).

  Here one can invoke PerlLibrary installer and patch the shared library for use of perl5.003.

  Then invoke X11R6 installer and install it to MachTen 4.03 Root in "LC-Fujii PBUX".

  /etc/...
  Start canna server in

  /etc/rc.local
  by adding

  if [ -f /usr/local/canna/bin/cannaserver ]; then

  rm -f /var/spool/canna/lock/.CANNALOCK*

  /usr/local/canna/bin/cannaserver

  ($ECHO "Cannaserver started ") > /dev/console

  fi
  to the bottom. Of course, this takes effect after installing canna.
  Mount necessary disks in

  /etc/fstab
  such as

  "LC-Fujii PBUD" /mnt/PBUD ufs rw 0 0
  where /mnt/PBUD/ has to be created beforehand. In the present setting, this second partition is used for /usr/local/ by the following symbolic linking:

  ln -s /mnt/PBUD/usr/local /usr/local
  which has to be done after erasing the original /usr/local.
  Setup printers in

  /etc/printcap ---> Define qms3g414, etc.
  and create a print spool for each printer entry

  /var/spool/output/<printer>
  which has to belong to bin:bin and writable for owner and group. Activate lpd in

  /etc/rc.conf ---> START_lpd = "yes"
  Set up pppclient in

  /etc/pppclient
  if connection from home is necessary. See for detail

User Entry

In order to add a new user
adduser <username> [ -u <uid> -g <gid> -s <shel> ]
For instance
# adduser fujiik -u 20 -g 20 -s /usr/local/bin/tcsh

---> /etc/passwd
---> /etc/group
Add jlc for compatibility with jlc clusters.
---> The command "su" is allowed only for gid=0 (wheel)
---> Edit /etc/group to allow entry to multiple groups
In order to change /etc/passwd
# chpass <username>
which invokes "vi" to edit the user entry. In order to remove a user entry
# rm -R /home/<username>
# vi /etc/passwd
then remove the user entry.
Valid Shells
Add
/usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
in
/etc/shells
to allow "tcsh" as a valid SHELL.

Other Customizations

/etc/man.conf for MANPATH
/etc/hosts for system aliases

X Window Settings

New Fonts

Copy kanji fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc
to
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
by hand due to X11R6 installers bug.

Add fonts (a12, rk12, k12) in

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
and do
# cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
# mkfontdir
to create fonts.dir. Then do
# xset fp rehash
to notify the system the change.
Font Alias
Modify
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.alias
to include helvb12, etc. and do
# xset fp rehash
to notify the system the change.
New Icons
Add user icons in
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmap/...

System-wide Defaults

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/...
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit//xinitrc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit//xserverrc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit//Xparams
(e.g.)
.Xmodmap: Setup the ascii-like key environmet on a JIS-keyboard by
keycode 58 =
keycode 101 = grave asciitilde
keycode 102 = underscore
Xparams: Activate arrow keys by
/usr/bin/X11/X -cmdkey meta -mo
which at the same time makes the mouse button simulations with OPT+left/right and allows to use the cmdkey as a unix's meta key.

Starting and Ending MachTen

Start MachTen

Double-click the MachTen icon.
Cmd-t starts the X window system.

End MachTen

First end the X window session by quitting the window manager in use or by selcting
"Close Window"
from "File" menu. Only then "Logout" and then "Quit"
File Repair
In case of hungup, rebuild "Desk Top" and use "Norton Disk Doctor" to check and fix, if necessary, the file system. Never fix the file names starting with periods! Never run "Speed Disk"!

Authentication

• Tcl/Tk's "send" command does not allow "xhost" based access control which is not secure. In order to solve this problem, one must empty /etc/X0.hosts and use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIES. After CU1 + X11R6 installation, this became only possible with xdm sessions. export this password to remote hosts by
  xauth extract - fujiipb:0 | remsh <rhost> xauth merge -
  so as to this <rhost> can connect to the local X server.

Local Settings

Libraries, etc.

First install
tcsh
to facilitate further work.
Create
/usr/tmp
and make it writable for everybody.
Create
/usr/vue/palettes/CoralReef.vp
for color setting with tk applications.
Install
/proj/phys/lclib

   Installation Notes
   In general, all one has to do is

   # cd /

   # tar -zxvf <source-dir>/<app name>-bin.tar.gz
   if a binary is available.
   xaw3d: one has to install libXaw3d in System Extensions Folder while MachTen is down. Note that shared libraries must have Type shlb and Creator MUMM.
   tcl_tk: one has to make symbolic links as

   tclsh7.6jp ---> tclsh7.6, tclsh

   wish4.2jp ---> wish4.2, wish

   libtcl7.6jp.a ---> libtcl7.6.a, libtcl.a

   libtk4.2jp.a ---> libtk4.2.a, libtk.a

   tcl7.6jp ---> tcl7.6, tcl

   tk4.2jp ---> tk4.2, tk
   ntt-jlatex: one has to make

   /usr/local/tex/ntt/lib/texmf/fonts/tmp/pk/*
   writable for everybody.
