Building x-Sim

This section describes the procedures that should be followed to install, configure, build the x-kernel , and build and run x-Sim as a Unix process. We assume the following throughout the rest of this note.

• You will be installing the x-kernel in directory /usr/xkernel, and this directory is reachable (via NSF, for example) from all machines on which you want to run x-Sim . You may choose some root directory other than /usr/xkernel. If you do select another root directory, change the steps given below accordingly.

• You will be running x-Sim on a Solaris (Sparc) workstation. If you are building x-Sim on some other Unix platform---SunOS (on Sparc) or OSF/1 (on Alpha)---then substitute sunos or osf1 for solaris, respectively, in the steps that follow.
