aschaffe@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (on the Holodeck) (11/02/90)
I just finished downloading the XView toolkit from expo, so now I'm
ready to build it. (I think :-)
After reading all these horror stories about installing it, though, I'm a
bit leery.. Which brings me to my question.
There seem to be a lot of "little fixes", "well, that should have been
documented somewhere"'s, and other "build hints" that have floated
across the group lately, and I'm wondering.. Did anybody keep a record
of them? ... and more importantly, can anybody post an "all-inclusive"
[well, you know what I mean] guide to installing the XView toolkit?
A few tidbits about my particular environs..
1. XView source tree will be sitting in ~aschaffe/XView [I am NOT root, BTW]
2. X11R4 source tree sits in ~some_other_user/X11R4 [who is also not root]
X11R4 has been compiled (using cc) & is working properly.
3. My workstation is a Sun 3/60, running SunOS 4.0.3
4. I can use either gcc or cc.
5. I remember a lot of hullabaloo about fonts. What was this all about?
BTW, mine (the ones that came with X) are in /usr/lib/X11/fonts.
Any suggestions? Helpful hints? ...Please post them, as I'm sure others
will be interested as well.

I posted this a few days ago, but have not yet received any response. (well,
except from a few people saying, "Please forward anything you hear" :-)
Again, please follow up to alt.toolkits.xview, or email and I'll summarize.
