[comp.windows.x] Installing X

m1tag00@fed.frb.gov (Tim A. Grunwald) (02/13/89)

	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.
