Okay, it's that time again.... THE BEGINNERS QUESTION OF THE WEEK! i've began work on a port of X11R3 to the AT&T 3B1 (aka. the 7300, the Unix-PC) It's a system V almost R2 box with a 68010 and (after i finish the hardware mod) a bitmapped display. i am using GNU-cc 1.34 for this, but also have the stock AT&T compiler available. i've printed and read the server and porting docs. the problem arises when i try to use imake. imake built fine, and i went through the macro files quite thoroughly before running it. but when i try to build a Makefile for "makedepend", the resulting file is corrupted. it seems that tabs are missing from the beginning of some of the Makefile sections, specifically those that were defined as macros in the imake.tmpl (i think) file. this seems to happen when i use both the stock cpp as well as gnu-cpp. is there a known problem with this? am i overlooking something obviouse? (probably) any help would be appreciated. e-mail or post if you think it's important. thanx, ===================================================================== Bill Rankin email address: att!moss!wtr was: Bell Labs, Whippany NJ att!bromo!wtr now: AT&T Federal Systems, Burlington NC (919) 228 3673 (cornet 291) -- ===================================================================== Bill Rankin email address: att!moss!wtr was: Bell Labs, Whippany NJ att!bromo!wtr now: AT&T Federal Systems, Burlington NC (919) 228 3673 (cornet 291)

On systems with non-bsd C-preprocessors, you need make sure that the
symbol REDUCED_TO_ASCII_SPACE is defined in the R3 imake.c. This enables
the workaround described at the bottom of the file.
