How to build ht://Dig 3.1.5/iX.1

The source code is packaged as a diff against the original htdig 3.1.5 sources.
Please download htdig-3.1.5.tar.gz from one of the www.htdig.org mirror sites.
Instructions below assume a HTDIG.ORG logon, because this is my porting setup.

 :hello manager.sys

 :newacct org,mgr
 :purgeuser mgr.org
 :purgegroup pub.org
 :altacct org; cap=+ph

 :newgroup htdig.org; access=(r,x:any; w,a,l,s:gl)
 :newuser htdig.org; pass=whatever; home=htdig
 :altuser htdig.org; cap=+ph,gl

 :hello htdig.org

 :xeq /bin/sh -L

 shell/iX> mkdir build; cd build
 shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/htdig-3.1.5.tar.gz | tar xvopf -
 shell/iX> cd htdig-3.1.5
 shell/iX> tar xvzopf /tmp/htdig-315-ix1-delta.tar.Z
 shell/iX> cp /SYSLOG/PUB/libsyslog.a mpe
 shell/iX> mpe/patch.sh
 shell/iX> mpe/build.sh

You are now ready to use the software in /ORG/HTDIG/v315 (bin, conf, ...)
It might be useful to create a symbolic link like /usr/local/htdig to point there.
You need to copy or symlink the cgi-bin and htdocs parts under your web server.

Have fun using ht://Dig 3.1.5/iX, but keep in mind: *use at your own risk*
