[comp.windows.x] imake under dg/ux on aviion workstation

tuna@kanchenjunga.lcs.mit.edu (Kirk 'UhOh' Johnson) (01/30/91)

a friend of mine has a brand new data general aviion workstation on
her desk. (anybody remember those stories in the newspaper about the
big contract the federal government recently awarded to dg amid some
controversy?)

while the dg/ux software distribution which they're running does
include X11, it does not appear to include imake, thus making it hard
to compile clients which provide only an Imakefile. (e.g. xlock
version 2.1, as taken from expo.lcs.mit.edu -- sure, there's a
Makefile there, but all it does is call imake to build a new
Makefile.)

do any of you x/imake wizards have any good suggestions about how to
rectify the problem? clearly, it would be nice to simply install
imake. but my limited understanding of imake leads me to believe that
they'd also need to get configuration files that are appropriate for
dg/ux ... would these be (relatively) easily obtained?

anybody at dg listening?

email replies are best; i sometimes find it hard to keep up with the
bandwidth here.
