Has anyone given any thought to how the makefiles should operate for a client-only build? Seems one has to do some direct surgery to elide the SERVERSRC and FONTSRC directories, perhaps that should be conditionalized into the util/imake.includes/MACHINE.macros somehow, maybe via some sort of CLIENTONLY flag? Also, I assume there's no point in -DUNIXCONN for a client-only build (which can be controlled just fine as is, but just wondering if I've missed something subtle.) -Barry Shein, Boston University P.S. Just cleaning up X11R2 for the Encore, seems a lot of early (X11R1) portability problems are gone, good show.

Personally, I think this is a bug in the Bourne shell (does anyone out there know what KSH does with empty lists in "for" statements?) > Also, I assume there's no point in -DUNIXCONN for a client-only build Right. I posted details of a client-only build for the Sequent Symmetry, including diffs, to "comp.sys.sequent" (should I have cross posted to xpert?)

>> Also, I assume there's no point in -DUNIXCONN for a client-only build >Right. Maybe. It depends on whether or not you want to build clients that can talk over Unix-domain sockets; this is reasonable if you want to run a proprietary server with clients compiled against the public library. > I posted details of a client-only build for the Sequent Symmetry, including > diffs, to "comp.sys.sequent" (should I have cross posted to xpert?) That or xbugs@expo.lcs.mit.edu (or both) so that it can get fixed in R3. Jim Fulton MIT X Consortium
