I recently added DECnet onto my VAXstation and would like to be able to have X clients use DECnet. Since DECnet was not installed on my system at the time I built X, will I have to rebuild X from scratch or is there another way???

You will need to rebuild all of the objects/executables after generating the apropriate Makefiles. The easiest way to do this (IMHO) is to modify the file config/site.def so that the ConnectionFlags contains what you desire (I use -DTCPCONN -DDNETCONN -DUNIXCONN). You will also need to tell the system how to get the DECnet library, which is done in the same file by defining ExtraLoadFlags to be -ldnet. Then, from the top level run: % make Makefiles % make depend % make # make install The last step of that process will overwrite your currently installed version of the software, so you may want to save certain files before this step... - Marc -- ======================================================================== ==== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Contractor | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ======================================================================== ====
