We have a vax-station 3200 running ultrix 2.2 and X11R3.
I have two questions.
(1) I've tried to compile X11 using gcc V 1.31, and while everything
compiles (after 1 change), everything gives me X I/O errors,
which are related to compiling Xlib with gcc. When I recompile Xlib,
many more things work.
The change I made was in file lib/X/Xlibint.h, routine GetReqExtra,
in the #ifdef used by the ANSI/Gnu C pre-processor.
There were several calls to SIZEOF(*), which gets translated into
s_*p. I changed that definition to model the one used by the ``normal''
cpp, substituting ## instead of /**/
Has anyone else gotten this to work? Gnu C V 1.31 is 30% faster than
pcc & about 10% faster than VCC, the VMS C compiler. I'd like to have
the server & toolkits use it.
(2) We're using XDM, and while I'm generally pleased with it, I've not been
able to figure out how to get console output to go to a window. I'm not
a big Ultrix mavin, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I've looked
at ``xcons'', but I can't seem to get it to do anything useful. Clues?
