[comp.windows.x] Problems compiling ice on Sun4

baltes@cpsc.UCalgary.ca (baltes) (06/04/91)

Hi,
I am trying to recompile the ice system (image composition system) by Roger Davis
on a Sun4. 
I tried the binary, but unfortunetly, we don't have the
libC.so library on our system. Is there a way to convert a .a library into a
.so library?

When we try to recompile the sources, the system hangs on the low level header
files such as sundev/* or pixrect/* in /usr/include.
Are special versions of these include files available for C++? Is there a
command line switch that allows CC to ignore prototypes or do I have to hack
all header files, so that they work correctly?

By the way I changed NeWS/psio.h and this seems to work fine.
Thanks,
	Jacky
