[comp.sys.pyramid] X-windows on pyramid

barad@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Herb Barad) (09/05/89)

Has anyone got X-windows running on a Pyramid?  The Xaw library doesn't
build correctly and (of course) the server doesn't.  I don't need the
server since we don't have a local bitmapped graphics terminal on the
Pyramid, but I would like to get the rest of X-windows running so that
client programs can run on the Pyramid.

Any suggestions?  Please respond by mail as I don't normally read this
group.  Thanks.

Here's the article that got the job done for me:

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.

  #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 -----------
/*

 * If you change either of the following numbers, you will need to do a

Now follow the X11R3 installation guide.
I think thats all we did here.

If you don't mind, please try something for me on your Pyramid system:

Pull up a couple of windows, then in the att universe, type
the command: /usr/lib/fwtmp < /etc/utmp | grep ttyp

Look at the output, and see if the first field (ut->ut_user) is
someone else other than yourself for the ttyp* entries for the
windows you have up.

When I originally posted this I forgot one other change that was necessary.

The OSx 4.0 C compiler does not like Display used as the name of a element of
a particular structure (don't know about newer pyramid compilers).  The fix 
for this that we are currently using here follows:

--- lib/Xaw/TextSrcP.h	Mon Jun 26 11:50:56 1989
