[FreeNX-kNX] howto install it manually on debian(etch)

[cedric briner]

okay then FreeNX is not that dead :) great news !! And sorry to not 
reply before, we just add a big server who crashed and I didn't have 
time to do whatsoeover :( .

Basically, I just want it to work. I do not really need an .deb package 
but just an comprehensive documentation. So this will be my small 
contribution to the project.

Please help me on this topic

The unresolved question starts with [0-9]: I got 4 questions at this time.

If you find any comment, do not hesitate to tell me.

-----------------------------
3: Is there some rules of things to take car to install this components?
eg: special argument to give in ./configure,....?

----NXCOMP----
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/2.1.0/sources/nxcomp-2.1.0-8.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nxcomp-2.1.0-8.tar.gz
cd nxcomp
./configure
make
#success

----NXCOMPEXT----
wget \ http://64.34.161.181/download/2.1.0/sources/nxcompext-2.1.0-5.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nxcompext-2.1.0-5.tar.gz
cd nxcompext
./configure --x-includes=/usr/include/xorg
sed 's|-I/usr/include/xorg|-I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/X11|g' \
   Makefile > Makefile.sedded
make -f Makefile.sedded

----NXAGENT----
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/2.1.0/sources/nxagent-2.1.0-20.tar.gz
