[comp.windows.x] Building X11R4.18 on Alliant Concentrix 5.5

x194@cs.utexas.edu (Jonathan Abbey) (10/16/90)

Hello.  I'm having some trouble building X11R4.18, and wanted to find
out if there are any pointers to information on building the distribution
above and beyond what comes with the distribution.

If anyone has such information, or has had any experience in building X11R4
with Concentrix 5.5 (a parallelized BSD 4.3), I'd appreciate a note.

On the off chance that my problem is easily and succinctly correctable, I'll
mention that the make World is dropping dead when it goes to make Makefiles in
the server directory, complaining of unexpected semicolons in the first line
of the makefile.  The first line has no semicolons, so I assume it really means
the first line after the Makefiles target.

I don't even need to build the server, but am unsure as to how to deactivate
that part of the build properly.

As a final note, how is one to prompt the build to use bsd.cf when one's
pre-processor does not visibly define bsd?  (According to the narrative output
of the Configure script in the patch directory, that is)  I don't even see in
imake.tmpl any reference to bsd except in the context of ultrix, which isn't
helpful..

Thanks for any advice or pointers in advance, and my apologies if the
information is there and I've just not been diligent enough.

Is this because BandAidCompilers is not defined?
