gxmessage is a GTK based xmessage clone.


Version numbering:

    In gxmessage-X.Y.Z, X.Y represents the GTK2 version gxmessage was
    developed with. Z represents gxmessage releases since the last X.Y
    change.


To compile and install gxmessage from source, most people will do something
like this: (See the file named INSTALL for details.)

    ./configure
    make
    make install-strip
    make clean

To uninstall:

    make uninstall


For help, try:

    man gxmessage
    gxmessage -help

    The man page includes important notes about xmessage compatibility.

    Take a look in the 'examples' directory, too.
