I need to find out how to go about making the various pieces of X. Rather
than someone telling me what I did wrong with the enclosed example, I'd much
rather have a "root" pointer into that portion of the documentation for X
that tells me how to go about properly doing things like compiling and
linking programs for X. Unfortunately the names of the documents don't make
it obvious which one should be read and the Nutshell books on Xlib (V1&2)
don't cover this, and I am ready to start trying some experimental hacking
well before I have a chance to read all the documentation. E-mail replies
would be best unless you believe the answer deserves wide distribution.
Here was what I was first trying to do:
