I have had a touch of trouble building X11R4 on my hp 835 running hpux 3.1. I found that the file ./server/os/4.2bsd/connection.c needed some modification to compile. I needed to define the structure sockaddr_un and define the variable unsock outside the #ifdef UNIXCONN (around line 240). After this, everything with the exception of xmh built fine. Everything built seems to run fine except for xman. I didn't want to get rid of the binaries, libraries, etc for X11R3 so I built X11R4 in a non-standard place. After major additions to site.def to get all of the directories built where I want them, I started the make World. Now, xman can't find the application defaults directory. Even with the XAPPLRESDIR variable set. The other applications need the XAPPLRESDIR var set, but otherwise work fine. I did some mucking around the code in ./lib/Xt/Initialize.c and found that xman gets the right application defaults file, but for some reason doesn't use it. The only way xman will come up is if I sym-link /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults (the current location of the X11R3 app-defaults) to the directory where I put the X11R4 app-defaults. I'm not sure where the bug in this lies, but I believe it must either be in xman or the hp800 server since all of the other applications can find the app-defaults once the var is set. Any ideas? Sorry if this is long-winded; any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Damon Lipparelli (lipp@cs.cmu.edu)

XAPPLRESDIR won't solve this problem (it's a long story, you can read the
Xt spec if you really want to know). You need to set XFILESEARCHPATH to get
around it:
setenv XFILESEARCHPATH "<root>/%L/%T/%N%S:<root>/%l/%T/%N%S:<root>/X11/%T/%N%S"
But, a better fix is to whack lib/Xt/IntrinsicI.h to set XFILESEARCHPATHDEFAULT
and ERRORDB to the right place, and then rebuild. (The right fix is to have
this properly controlled in the Imakefile, based on the configuration
parameters.)Damon.Lipparelli@cs.cmu.edu (01/11/90)
I also wanted to add to my previous post that after extensive investigation, (ie, looking in every source file I could find), I could not find where the definition of the app-defaults directory was ever used. That is, I couldn't find a file that used the variable XAPPLOADDIR. The file ./lib/Xt/Initialize.c is compiled with -DXAPPLOADDIR=<the dir I specified>, but it's never referenced. Does this make sense? Thanks, Damon Lipparelli (lipp@cs.cmu.edu)
