Install instructions: 1. read README 2. make (on FreeBSD, make -f Makefile.FreeBSD) 3. make install (this will put bubblemon in /usr/local/bin) 4. bubblemon & Using GNU make bubblemon should compile without changes on any system listed in SUPPORTED_SYSTEMS file. If not, feel free to fix it and send me a diff -u. Check README file for configuration options - you can either permanently disable a feature by editing Makefile and commenting out any of the EXTRA defines, or disable it at run-time by using command-line switches. Colors and bubble physics can also be configured through ~/.Xdefaults file. If your FreeBSD system doesn't have GNU Make, use Makefile.FreeBSD. If it does, regular Makefile should be able to detect things correctly. Also, on FreeBSD, you can do make install as root to install in /usr/local/bin and give bubblemon proper permissions, or you'll have to give bubblemon kmem access yourself: root:~# chown root:kmem bubblemon; chmod g+s bubblemon
