I am running a Sun 3/60 with SunOS 4.0, and I'm working with the
MIT X11R3 version of X. One of the features of OS 4.0 is its use of dynamic
(shared) libraries. I'm trying to create dynamic versions of the libX11.a
and libXt.a libraries, and wonder if anyone else had attacked this problem.
We have the Sun NeWS/X server on our system, and Sun supplies versions
of the dynamic libraries. If I link a program with their copies of libX11.so.0
and libX11.sa.0, it runs. However, linking with my versions of these libraries
cause core dumps. (I suspect that I have not managed to isolate ALL the global
data in seperate modules yet, which is part of the recipe.)
Has anyone looked at this? Anyone know if this might be addressed on X11R4?
