I applied this patch and did a make world and installed the
new software and include files. Most of the clients that use the
Xt library would die and dump core. For example, xterm would startup,
but the second you tried to type anything in the window, the process would
die and dump core.
I backed out the changes and recompiled and everything now works ok. Did
anyone else have this problem?

Hmm, I rebuilt the public patched Xt on both a DECstation 3100 (cc)
and a VAXstation 3100 (gcc), and linked xterms with them, and both
xterms seemd to work just fine. Beats me. Has anyone gotten fix-12 to
work? Is anyone else having problems? (If others are, I'll probably
withdraw it until something gets resolved.)evans@decvaxdec.com (Marc Evans) (06/29/90)

I have applied the patch without error top the sources, built using 'make World' (I didn't have objects around still), and installed the result onto a PMAX. It has been running for about 3 days now without any problems. Also, I have rebuilt many clients not included in the *statdard* MIT distribution which also work fine. Therefore, at least from the PMAX perspective, I don't think the patch should be withdrawn... - Marc =========================================================================== Marc Evans - WB1GRH - evans@decvax.DEC.COM | Synergytics (603)635-8876 Unix and X Software Contractor | 21 Hinds Ln, Pelham, NH 03076 ===========================================================================

It seems to be related to typing into a text widget. In xterm it dies, and in xfig it dies when typing into the change-object menu text widgets. Again, Vaxstation II Xqvss, gcc1.36, Ultrix 3.0, X11R4-PL12. It works fine on a 4/280 under SunOs 4.1 with cc and, as several other people have noted, on other suns. Please help. I will have to back out patch 12 until it is determined what the problem is. Thanks for any help.

I had this problem with fix-12 also on our Sun 4s.

I had similar problems as described in previous postings with installing fix 12 but I think I know what's going on. After applying the patch, I did a make (not a "make World"!!!), in each of the 3 versions of the X hierarchy we have around (one for the DECstation 3100, one for the VAXstations, and one for a Mac II). As it turns out, make on the VAXstation rebuilt the *entire* Xt library, whereas make on the DS3100 and the Mac only selectively rebuilt files in mit/lib/Xt. When I tried to get X going on the VAXstation I had no problems, however the DS3100 and the Mac II exhibited the problems that were described in earlier postings. So, all I did was to "make clean" in mit/lib/Xt and do a top-level make (not "make World") for each of the DS3100 and Mac II mit hierarchies, and everything turned out OK. I guess there are some weird differences in make between VAXen and the DECstations and Mac IIs.

When I did a "make clean", as you did for your DS3100 then everything worked ok. >>> So, the answer appears to be "do a make clean before rebuilding Xt". _____________________________________ Brian V.

I've installed and run with fix-12 on Sun3 SunOS4.0 with no problems. I did a make Everything to install the fix-12. It's been running a couple of days. I've also installed it on a VAXstation II/GPX and it works there, but I haven't tested it much. Mike

MIT public fix #12 changed InitialI.h; with the (sole) exception of Functions.c every lib/Xt .c file includes IntrinsicI.h, which includes InitialI.h. Therefore everything (except for Functions.o) should be rebuilt. The change in InitialI.h made a substantial change to the XtPerDisplay structure - so if you have a system which recompiled without rebuilding everything (possibly because of an omitted or defective make depend step in the distant past) you probably now have a defective libXt.a...

On an unrelated note, I had a small problem applying fix 12. The patches bombed on mit/lib/Xt/Varargs.c. I put them in by hand with no problem. But I'm surprised that it failed; I kept up with all of the patches (or so I thought).
