I created a patch to make X11R4 libraries and clients run on the
IBM RS-6000 workstation. It is stored on expo.lcs.mit.edu,
in file ./contrib/ibm-rs6000.fix1. It does several things:
a. makes some library subroutines compile under AIX 3.1.
b. fixes xterm and xload to run properly under AIX 3.1.
c. puts libraries, bitmaps, applications defaults files, etc. under
/usr/local, to allow coexistence with the official AIX X windows
release.
d. builds shared libraries, which substantially decreases the size of
clients.
There are a couple of patches which seem appropriate for the regular
release, such as a patch to search for bitmaps in $(INCDIR)/bitmaps
instead of a fixed /usr/include/bitmaps.
There is no server in this patch, but most applications run correctly
under the official AIX X windows server.
