I have just tried compiling tgif.2.4 on a DECstation with Ultrix 4.1
I am not using X11.R4 or imake. The loader bombs out with the
following error message:
ld:
/lib/libc.a(calloc.o): calloc: multiply defined
Does anyone have a fix?

I first put X11R4 on it (much better than all these Dec specific things anyway, I hate all these 'enhancements' that several companies need to make over the plain X11 distribution) and tgif2.4 compiled without problems (and runs). -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fysap.fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht muts@fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-533880 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands

Anyone know what the deal is with this? It's a bug within tgif. What happens is that calloc() is called to allocate N bytes of memory where N is the length of another string. Then strcpy() is called to copy the string to the newly allocated memory. The trailing null character causes the bus error. Apparently on SUNs this doesn't cause any problem. It will be fixed in tgif-2.5 which will be released soon. -- Bill Cheng // UCLA Computer Science Department // (213) 206-7135 3277 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, California 90024 // USA william@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!{uunet|ucbvax}!cs.ucla.edu!william -- Bill Cheng // UCLA Computer Science Department // (213) 206-7135 3277 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, California 90024 // USA william@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!{uunet|ucbvax}!cs.ucla.edu!william

Thanks to Richard Weir <weier@twolf4.CE.YALE.EDU> for solution for
building tgif on DECstations - adding '-lc' before '-lX11 -lm'
in the ld flags.
The only misfeature now is that the icon disappears out of the
DECwindows icon box when tgif is iconified. Is there a .Xdefaults
line or a simple source change to stop this behaviour?
