[comp.windows.x] Trying to compile Xlib on ESIX

I'm running ESIX on a '386 and I'm trying to get the X11R4 clients to
work.

I have tried two approaches and neither seem to work very well.

The first is to define TCPCONN and use libbsd.a and the net library to
get the socket calls.  That didn't seem to work because a read() on a
socket kept returning an error.

The next approach was to define STREAMSCONN instead.  Will this approach
get me TCP connectivity to other servers?  It wants a file named
"/usr/X/lib/Xconnections".  What do I put in this file?

It also wants to have another program around called "NameServer".  Is this
the program found in util/att-nameserver?  The documentation for this stuff
is hard to find.

Thanks.
