Ion Copyright (c) Tuomo Valkonen 1999-2002. <tuomov@cc.tut.fi> <http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/> BUILDING AND INSTALLING You will need a C-compiler, gnu make :-( and an editor. 1. Edit system.mk to suit your system. If heavy modifications are required, you might want to save the file somewhere for future use (and hope that I don't change the makefile-system...). 2. If you want to customize ion above what is possible with ion.conf, edit config.h (this step is optional) 3. make depend && make. Note that 'make' here refers to gnu make which is usually named 'gmake' on systems with their own version of make. 4. make install (not required if you manually setup configuration files). NOTICE: ION WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT A PROPER CONFIGURATION FILE! Without a configuration file no keys or mouse buttons will be bound to any actions and you will get a black and white color scheme. Either personal ~/.ion/ion.conf or system-wide $(PREFIX)/etc/ion/ion.conf must exist unless another specified on the command line. $(PREFIX) is the path where you told to install Ion in the Makefile and the default setting is /usr/local. The scripts 'ion-edit' and 'ion-view' (F5 and F6 keys) expect the program 'run-mailcap' to be found. This program opens a viewer/editor for a file based on its mime-type. Most likely you don't have it, but any other similar program (or just plain old text editor) will do as well - just modify the scripts. Unless you don't want to use them, of course. If you want to use run-mailcap, it can be found at <http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/net/mime-support.html> (as .tar.gz as well). CONFIGURATION Have a look at doc/config.txt and the default configuration files. If you do nothing else, you may at least want to change term_font from the default 7x13 to whatever font you use in xterm and such. Ion takes the units by which it resizes frames from this font. CREDITS Ion was written by Tuomo Valkonen. src/complete_file.c is based on editline, (c) 1992 Simmule Turner and Rich Salz. See the file for details. Various patches contributed by other individuals unlisted here have also been used. (See the mailing list archives.)
