[comp.windows.x] R4 on Data General, DEC3100

bmc@MYCROFT.MAYO.EDU (09/07/90)

I am looking for the *.cf files and/or any patches that will allow me to
build X11R4 on the following systems:

DECstation 3100 and 5000 running Ultrix 4.0 
	Some *.h files were removed from /usr/include/machine, anyone know
	what the replacements are?

Data General Aviion running DG/UX 4.30
	I believe that I need a *.cf file for this. Anything else needed to
	port R4 over? Has anyone already done a port and if so, is it 
	available?

Many thanks in advance.

Try looking in /usr/include/io/tc or /usr/sys/io/tc.

Well, I'm running Ultix 3.1 here, but I still had to do some stuff to it
to get it to compile...  Here's what I did (and this *works*):

We're working on a port here. Just started a few weeks ago. You're going
to need more than just a *.cf file. There is nothing in the MIT X distribution
that is specific to the DG hardware (mouse & keyboard drivers for example).
The main drive behind our X port is to have a windowing system for our BSD
port but we also plan to have a release that will run under DG/UX.

If there is anyone out there already working on this, I'd appreciate hearing
from you.
