A week or two ago I posted the problems I encountered while building InterViews on a Sun 3. Since several people have sent me either answers to my questions or tales of similar problems, I've decided to post what I've learned. * First, the distribution to get is the one on interviews.stanford.edu. This has a correct version of the Xlib.h file which prompted my earlier posting. Also, many people have independently hacked the 2.6 beta version of Xlib.h to get it to compile. * I got assembler errors when compiling the stream.c file. The word from Stanford is that this results from an incompatibility of formats between g++ and the Sun assembler when static objects are used. I solved this problem by compiling the file by hand, replacing the 'CC' of make's command line with 'g++.' I guess the proper way to do this is to define AS as gas (the GNU assembler) in the configuration files before building CC. * In a couple of places, I had to make symbolic links named 'SUN3' to directories named 'mc68020.' Once you get around these small problems (or avoid them in the first place), InterViews should compile with no problems. Thanks to everybody who helped me in this endeavor. -Brian Pane ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Pane University of Florida Department of Computer Science bp@beach.cis.ufl.edu Class of 1991 "If you can keep your expectations |#ifdef OFFENDED_ANYONE tiny, you'll get through life |# include "disclaimer.h" without being so whiny" - Matt Groening |#endif -------------------------------------------------------------------------
