The x-kernel requires a few utility programs. We distribute binary versions of these programs, so you probably don't need to rebuild these programs and can skip to the next section.
If you decide to rebuild the utility programs, you must first have gnumake built and installed. A copy of the source code and build instructions for gnumake version 3.66 can be found in util/make. After you have built gnumake, place the binary in the appropriate /usr/xkernel/bin/BINTYPE directory, where BINTYPE is one of: sunos-sparc, mach3-mips, mach3-intelx86, irix-mips, or scout-alpha.
Next, put /usr/xkernel/bin/BINTYPE and /usr/xkernel/bin in your search path. They should appear before /bin and /usr/bin in order to pick up gnumake before the standard Unix make.
To build the rest of the utility programs, make a new subdirectory of /usr/xkernel/build, and copy the appropriate makefile in /usr/xkernel/build/Template to Makefile in your new directory. Change to this directory, and run make utilDepend and make utilInstall.
