I'm happy to announce that my port of X11R4 to A/UX 2.0, complete with
shared libraries for libs X11, Xt, Xaw, and Xmu, is now available from
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory /archive/systems/aux/X11R4 (from
ftp: systems/aux/X11R4).
This is what I consider a "beta-quality" release: I've test-run all
the clients, and they all appear to run, but I expect some hidden
problems to crop up. I'll be fielding bug reports and trying to track
down lingering problems and in a week or two will put out another
release. On the other hand, it seems to be quite stable as-is and I
encourage everyone to give it a try. The source patches will be
forthcoming as soon as I get the code cleaned up and make them :-).
The entire distribution consists of six tar files:
Xbin.tar.Z -- 2.5M (5M uncompressed)
Xfonts.tar -- 2.9M
Xinclude.tar.Z -- 280K (1M uncompressed)
Xlib.tar.Z -- 1M (3.5M uncompressed)
Xman.tar -- 1.3M
Xmisc.tar.Z -- 99K (250K uncompressed)
plus installation instructions (in the file XREADME).
Enjoy!, and please send me problem reports so that I can fix whatever
bugs are still around (and please don't send me bugs that are in the
X code itself; I'll let MIT fix those :-)).

I applied the patches from apple.com and from wuarchive, built and installed gcc before building X11R4. Is there something more I have to do? I can't get the gcc binary from wuarchive because FTP says its too big. marty
