[comp.windows.x] X11R4 Build Problem under Ultrix 4.1

keith@sequoia.execu.com (Keith Pyle) (02/19/91)

My environment is a VAXStation 3100 running Ultrix 4.1 and I'm trying
to build X11R4.

When the make gets to mit/server/ddx/dec/qdss/qdss_io.c, I get the following:

"qdss_io.c", line 588: warning: illegal pointer combination
"qdss_io.c", line 675: g undefined
"qdss_io.c", line 682: g undefined

The code in qdss_io.c at line 675 causing the first message is:

ioctl(fd_qdss, SG_VIDEOON, &Sg);

or more specifically, the expansion of SG_VIDEOON which is:

#define SG_VIDEOON    _IO(g,23)             /* turn on the video */

This define is found in mit/server/ddx/dec/qdss/libtl/tl.h.  Obviously,
the compiler hasn't encountered a definition for the variable g used
in this define.  The error noted at line 682 is due to another similar
define.

Are there patches to X11R4 for Ultrix 4.1 or is there a trick I've missed
somewhere?  Any assistance would be appreciated since some of the users
are in an X feeding frenzy for R4.

(I just found myself responsible for this build and I've reviewed all of
the current messages in this group, without finding any mention of this
problem.)
