Are any of you using X windows 11r3 on your pyramids? If so, did you port it yourself? If anyone has any information about this I would apreciate it if you could send it to me. -- Scott Anderson UUCP: scott@Questar.MN.ORG, Questar Data Systems ...!amdahl!bungia!questar!scott Minneapolis, MN ATT: +1 612 688 0089

Yes and Yes (Not that there was much to the "port"). This is what we did (but not in this order). 1) Apply the following patch to Login.h in clients/xdm. The Pyramid compiler objected to the lack of a semi-colon. Don't think this was fixed in fix1 or fix2 from MIT. *** Login.h~ Fri Nov 18 11:37:30 1988 --- Login.h Sat Nov 19 19:55:05 1988 *************** *** 73,79 **** #define NAME_LEN 32 typedef struct _LoginData { ! char name[NAME_LEN], passwd[NAME_LEN] } LoginData; # define NOTIFY_OK 0 --- 73,79 ---- #define NAME_LEN 32 typedef struct _LoginData { ! char name[NAME_LEN], passwd[NAME_LEN]; } LoginData; # define NOTIFY_OK 0 2) Add the following to Imake.tmpl #ifdef pyr #define MacroIncludeFile "Pyr.macros" #define MacroFile Pyr.macros #undef pyr #define PyramidArchitecture #endif /* pyr */ 3) Use the following as your Pyr.macros file (Yes it does look like a cross between the Sun and Mips files). -------- start of Pyr.macros ----------- /* * SET VERSION NUMBERS BEFORE MAKING MAKEFILES * * If you change either of the following numbers, you will need to do a * full build (make World) at the top of the sources.... */ #define PyrOSPlatform YES /* set to NO if not running SunOS */ #define OSName OSx 4.0 #define OSMajorVersion 4 #define OSMinorVersion 0 /* **************************************************************************** */ /**/# platform: $XConsortium: Pyr.macros,v 1.52 88/10/23 11:00:55 jim Exp $ /**/# operating system: OSName BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS = AS = as CC = cc COMPRESS = /usr/new/compress CPP = /lib/cpp LD = ld LINT = lint INSTALL = install TAGS = ctags RM = rm -f MV = mv LN = ln -s RANLIB = ranlib RANLIBINSTFLAGS = AR = ar clq LS = ls LINTOPTS = -axz LINTLIBFLAG = -C MAKE = make STD_CPP_DEFINES = STD_DEFINES = /* define this as you like for normal library compilation */ #define LibraryDefines /* define this as you like for server font support */ /*#define FontDefines -DFONT_SNF -DFONT_BDF -DCOMPRESSED_FONTS*/ /* -DTCPCONN allows TCP connections */ /* -DUNIXCONN allows Unix domain connections */ /* -DDNETCONN allows DECnet connections */ #define ConnectionFlags -DTCPCONN /* * override any parameters from site.def */ #define UnalignedReferencesAllowed NO /* if arbitrary deref is okay */ #define BuildServer NO #define ExpandManNames YES /* expand Xlib man page filenames */ #define UNCOMPRESSPATH /usr/new/uncompress -------- end of Pyr.macros ----------- Now follow the X11R3 installation guide.

Does anybody have experience porting X11 and Motif1.0 to the Pyramid? Each ports fairly easily on its own, but they don't talk together because X11 ports easiest in 'ucb' while Motif requires 'att'. This poses problems due (at least) to the incompatibility between the two stdio.h's. Any experiences, war stories &c about this welcomed. -- Esmond Pitt, Computer Power Group ejp@bohra.cpg.oz

Personal experience was that Motif was easier to convert to ucb than X11 was to att. All of this is rendered less important reasonably soon - we are hard at work at both ucb and att ports of X11 and Motif. (Also Open Look, and probably XView.) Of course, the documentation for this may dwarf the rest of OSx... -- eric ...!pyramid!eric
