[comp.windows.x] Compiling X with GCC on the Sun 4.

ray@COD.NOSC.MIL (William J. Ray) (12/23/88)

     Has anayone successfully compiled the X server using
GNU CC on a Sun 4.  I have tried compiling it both on a
Sun 3 and a Sun 4.  On the 3 it works fine, and I can see
the speed increase in the server.  On the four however,
it is unable to establish a connection to the server,
and just dies.

     I am using the following flags to gcc:
         -O
         -traditional
         -finline-functions
         -fcombine-regs
         -fomit-frame-pointer
         -fstrength-reduce
         -fwritable-strings

     Also, gcc is unable to compile the files miarc.c, colormap.c,
and sunInit.c.  It gets fatal signal 4 during compilation, and
dies.  I have compiled several small programs with gcc and they
have all worked fine.

     Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

michael
