[comp.windows.x] Porting X.11 to System V

chongo@amdahl.amdahl.com (Landon Curt Noll) (11/11/87)

I am interested in issues relating the porting of X applications and the 
X.11 C library to a Sys V.3 r1 (i.e., with streams) based machine.
In our configuration, the actual X server will be running on a Sun 3/60C.

How much of the BSD socket interface needs to be supported?  Are there 
complications with porting XTerm relating to Sys V vs. BSD process groups?
If I have a select system call that operates only on streams, will I be ok?
Cavates, and other related info will be appreciated.
