Has anyone successfully compiled X11R3 with all the fixes and the Purdue 2 speedups using gcc-1.33, or has gcc-1.31 been the only one to work? Ed Friedman ed@zaphod.uchicago.edu

Yes (Purdue 2.1 as well as 2.0; fixes 1-8; gcc 1.33), on a Sun-3 platform. It required 2 (or possibly 3) bug fixes to gcc 1.33 files from RMS to work. Seems to work just fine; nothing I've run (Core stuff) has gratuitously crashed or exhibited strange anti-social behavior (yet (^: ) ... tested on both a monochrome Sun-3/160, and a color Sun-3/260C. Yes, paging through text in 65-line color xterms isn't exactly `fast'; that's true. And I saw something close to anti-social behavior only once; I brought up a plain black-on-white `xedit' window and typed some text in it, then positioned the cursor in the middle of said text, and started typing in more gibberish. The insertion rate for the new text rivalled 300 baud (^: Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary. - Greg Earle Sun Los Angeles - JPL on-site Software Support poseur!earle@Sun.COM earle@mahendo.JPL.NASA.GOV (Guest account)
