In no case you need to recompile XAS now

• VMS users

  There is no configuration requested, as there is no make-like facility provided for VMS XAS, just some very simple tools for rebuilding.

• Unix users

  There are no Makefiles supplied with XAS, but they will be generated by the xasbuild utility in the way most suitable for your system.
  It is suggested that you generate the makefiles now running xasbuild as shown below.
  This will create in most of the $XASTOP subdirectories files named Makefile_system, where system is e.g. ULTRIX, SunOS, etc. Makefiles for different operating systems may coexist in the same directory due to the presence of the suffix.
  • make sure that $XASTOP is defined and points to the right place
  • run $XASTOP/config/Scripts/xasbuild (it is actually suggested you create a permanent alias for that).
  • select option 1 to create the Makefiles
  • you will be prompted for a few questions

    What is the root directory for XAS (XASTOP)?

    • default (carriage return) is the usual answer
    • libraries for ULIBDIR. With the current distribution, the correct answer, if you want to use the libraries distributed, is
      • default pgplot
      • default fitsio
      • default X11
      • carriage return

      Select the destination directory for the XAS library

      Select the destination directory for the executables

    • for both carriage return is the usual answer

  • select option 7 to exit

• back to overview

• continue with installation
