Has anyone ported X11R4 to an IBM RS6000. I have just FTPed the source and patches from expo and make fails. Don't want to have to figure out the whole think if it's already been done before. :-) Could someone point me to where I could find the patches for AIX? Thanks, Dave Hassel <hassel@bnlcl1.bnl.gov> <hassel@bnlcl1.bitnet>

You can get a few helpful things from ~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000 on cs.utk.edu. I would first recommend installed the xlc.cfg from there, that make cc act a little more bsdish. I haven't had much trouble compiling the R4 libraries or clients. Xterm, however will not work without certain changes. See ~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000/R4xterm.patch -reed wade@cs.utk.edu

See >~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000/R4xterm.patch I haven't had any luck with the build on our 6000/540. Seems that the little trick used in config which hides preprocessor directives from cpp when it really wants to generate a makefile comment: /**/# This is a comment doesn't work on the AIX C preprocessor--it's "too smart" and complains about an unknown preprocessor directive "This".

This is entirely correct; the AIX preprocessor is working the way ANSI would have it. > Any ideas anyone? I wrote a cpp which comes close enough to the Reiser semantics to work for every imake run I've tried it with - and that includes building the whole mit/ subtree on a NeXT. I have placed this into the public domain; you can do anything you like with it. You can ftp it from 132.206.1.1 in X/XNeXT/cpp.shar.Z. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
