[comp.windows.x] X11R3 Config Problem

VERSION:
	R3

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
	Sun 3/60 runnint SunOS 3.4

DISPLAY:
	Sun monochrome

WINDOW MANAGER:

AREA:
	config/make

SYNOPSIS:
	There is a problem with setting FontDir in site.def.

DESCRIPTION:
	The problem shows up in the generated Makefile in server/dix
	on the SITE_FONT_PATH line.   A string other than $(FONTDIR)
	gets inserted before each font path suffix (/misc/, /75dpi/,
	etc).  I set FontDir in my site.def to "$(LibDir)/fonts" (-- I
	know this happens to be the default, but I was changing other
	things and thought I'd explicitly set it).

	I believe the problem is due to subtle cpp interactions with
	site.def, Imake.tmpl, and the running of imake on Imakefile.
	It got confused about what variables to expand when.

	I got around this by not defining FontDir in site.def anymore.
	I suspect that there might be other bad interactions (not just
	FontDir) as well.

REPEAT BY:
	See above.
