Yes, you can install XForms in a personal directory. In your makefile, or
when you compile, you need to tell it where to find the library. There are
at least a couple of ways to do this:
You can put "-L/your-path-here -lforms" or you can put
"your-path-here/libforms.a" (this works best if you want to statically link
the library, the first option can be used for dynamic or static, depending
on your compile options.)
So, if you have your library in /home/oliver/xforms/FORMS, and you want to
compile helloworld.c, using cc, you would have a line something like:
cc -L/home/oliver/xforms/FORMS -lforms helloworld.c
or, using the second option, you would have something like:
cc /home/oliver/xforms/FORMS/libforms.a helloworld.c
It looks similar when in your makefile.
I hope this helps!
