Installing X11
Apple’s
X11
for Mac OS X is available as an optional installation bundled with
Mac OS X. To install it when you first install (or upgrade an
existing installation of) Mac OS X Panther, you must customize the
installation (in the Selection Type phase) and select the X11
checkbox. If you don’t install X11 during the Mac OS
X installation, you can install it later by inserting the Install Mac
OS X Disc 3 CD, then finding and double-clicking the
X11User.pkg package in the Packages folder.
The installation places the double-clickable X11 application in the
/Applications/Utilities folder. If you want to
build X11-based applications, you need to install the
X11SDK, which is
located as an optional package on the Xcode Tools
CD (/Developer Tools/Packages/X11SDK.pkg).
