[comp.windows.x] What is machine independent in the installation?

rws@EXPO.LCS.MIT.EDU (Bob Scheifler) (03/14/90)

    I want to save some space and it seems that one way to do this would
    be to make /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/include/X11 pointers back to a common
    area shared between my various supported architectures.

/usr/include/X11 should be no problem.  There are dependencies in /usr/lib/X11:
fonts are often architecture specific, and also the rgb.dir/rgb.pag files for
the server.  Also, the default location for xdm config files is in there, but
you can move them easily enough.

Works fine here.
