1The default installation settings of xdm match those used for most platforms
2in the previous X.Org releases:
3
4    Scripts & modules:          $(libdir)/X11/xdm (aka $(prefix)/lib/X11/xdm)
5    Configuration files:        $(libdir)/X11/xdm
6    Pixmap files:               $(libdir)/X11/xdm/pixmaps
7    Log files:                  /var/log
8    Process id/lock files:      /var/run
9    xauth cookie files:         /var/lib/xdm
10
11These may be overridden with the following options to configure:
12
13    Loadable modules:           --with-xdmlibdir
14    Scripts:                    --with-xdmscriptdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)
15    Configuration files:        --with-xdmconfigdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)
16    Pixmap files:               --with-xdmpixmapdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)
17    Log files:                  --with-logdir
18    Process id/lock files:      --with-piddir
19    xauth cookie files:         --with-authdir
20
21For instance, some packagers/sites may prefer:
22
23    --with-xdmconfigdir=/etc/X11/xdm
24    --with-xdmlibdir=$(prefix)/lib/xdm
25    --with-xdmscriptdir=/etc/X11/xdm
26
27The handling of --with-utmp-file & --with-wtmp-file have also changed
28slightly since previous versions of xdm:
29
30    --with-{u,w}tmp-file
31        [default] write records to utmp/wtmp files, but allow sessreg to
32        use its builtin default paths. Omits -u/-w flag entirely from
33        sessreg command in Xstartup & Xreset files.
34    --with-{u,w}tmp-file=<filename>
35        write records to utmp/wtmp files at specified filename.
36        Passes filename as argument to sessreg -u/-w flag in Xstartup/Xreset.
37    --without-{u,w}tmp-file   or    --with-{u,w}tmp-file=none
38        Do not write records to utmp/wtmp files at all.
39        Passes "none" as argument to sessreg -u/-w flag in Xstartup/Xreset.
