I am trying to install X11 R3 on a Sun 3/60 OS 3.5. This is the first attempt at installing any version of X. I have applied fixes 1-8, plus the purdue speedups 2.1. Changes to site.def and Sun.macros were made. The source code was compiled with GNU's gcc as instructed in the purdue speedups. Most things went smoothly with make World except the following: 1. Subdirectory clients makefile could not be made. There seems to be a bug in Sun's cpp. I forced the making of the makefile. 2. The following was found in the output file make.world: gcc -c -O -m68881 -traditional -finline-functions -fstrength-reduce -DPURDUE -DNO_3_60_CG4 -I. -I../../include -I../../.././X11 -DTCPCONN -DUNIXCONN utils.c rm -f libos.a ar clq libos.a WaitFor.o access.o connection.o fonttype.o io.o oscolor.o osfonts.o osinit.o utils.o ranlib libos.a make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `ddx/cfb/libcfb.a' It seems that ddx/cfb/libcfb.a was made and the make continued on. After creating the link, ln -s Xsun X, I tried xinit. Xinit started up X and things seemed to work. An xterm was started, but its window was *black*! Typing into the window worked (I could start window managers and demo programs), but I could not see what I was typing! What is going on? What did I do wrong? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. P.S I was able to run the Andrew toolkit and its windows were white. Tim Grunwald Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC, 20551 uucp: uunet!fed!m1tag00 internet: m1tag00@fed.frb.gov
