I'm looking for a sequent.cf file that works. We have encountered several problems with X11R4 1) xterm bombs in the compile We have fixed that by changing a line with haddr to haddr0. 2) twm always thinks there is another twm running, or can't find any unmanaged windows. 3) xterm (when compiled) have inappropriate ioctle fot device. if anyone has any tips I would be eternally grateful. - mitch ************* jmf@dschub.dsc.edu%ucsbcsl.uucp 3413jmf@hub.ucsb.edu Mitch Ferguson Digital Sound Corp.

I am not sure which sequent.cf file you are using, but this is the one I use. (for Dynix 3.0.17) I've also included the site.def I use. Please note that this file is not in any way, shape or form supported by Sequent, I'm just someone who plays with X a fair deal. -david- -----------------( Cut Here )--------------------------- /* * SET VERSION NUMBERS BEFORE MAKING MAKEFILES */ #define OSName 4.2bsd #define OSMajorVersion 4 #define OSMinorVersion 2 #define HasGcc NO /* very useful for the server */ #define HasVoidSignalReturn NO /**/# platform: $XConsortium: sequent.cf,v 1.8 89/12/23 14:19:17 jim Exp $ /**/# operating system: OSName /***************************************************************************** * Platform-specfic parameters * *****************************************************************************/ #if OSMajorVersion >= 4 && OSMinorVersion >= 3 #define SetTtyGroup YES #endif #define HasBsearch NO #define BuildServer NO /* #define DefaultCDebugFlag -g #define LibraryCDebufFlag -g */ ----------------( Next File )---------------------------- /**/# site: $XConsortium: site.def,v 1.21 89/12/06 11:46:50 jim Exp $ /***************************************************************************** * * * SITE-SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS * * * * Override any of the defaults in *.tmpl here.

Below are my examples of the files you have asked about. Note the following important aspects: GNU C (gcc) is used throughout. The extra libraries are -llocal and -lseq. In my -llocal I have functions such as memchr, memcmp, memcpy, strchr, strrchr, strtok, vfprintf, vprintf, and vsprintf. You can get the sources from the freed 4.3BSD sources on uunet.uu.net. I have also asked gcc to USE_CRYPT and search includes in /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-include (which is where they are on my systems). All X11 facilities work very nicely on my system now. You must make absolutely sure that there are no errors of any kind in your "make World" log. Redo the stuff if you find errors there. I wasn't able to compile X11 smoothly with DYNIX' cc. My GNU C uses also GNU assembler (gas-1.38.1) and GNU loader from binutils-1.7. These are available via anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. To compile GNU assembler you will have to modify the file a.out.gnu.h. Here is the diff: ====================== gustav@vulcan 13 $ diff a.out.gnu.h.ORIG a.out.gnu.h 3a4,12 > #if defined(sequent) && defined(i386) > #define a_magic a_info > #include <a.out.h> > #undef a_magic > #define __STRUCT_EXEC_OVERRIDE__ > #define N_NLIST_DECLARED > #define N_RELOCATION_INFO_DECLARED > #endif > 67a77 > #ifndef OMAGIC 73a84 > #endif /* not OMAGIC */ gustav@vulcan 14 $ ======================= Now the X11 configuration files: sequent.cf: ====================== /* * SET VERSION NUMBERS BEFORE MAKING MAKEFILES */ #define OSName DYNIX #define OSMajorVersion 3 #define OSMinorVersion 0 #define HasGcc YES #define DefaultCCOptions -pipe #define ExtraLibraries -llocal -lseq #define HasVoidSignalReturn NO #define HasBsearch NO #define BuildServer NO #define StandardDefines -DUSE_CRYPT #define StandardIncludes -I/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-include #define ExtensionDefines -DSHAPE -DMULTIBUFFER -DMITMISC site.def: ====================== /**/# site: $XConsortium: site.def,v 1.21 89/12/06 11:46:50 jim Exp $ /***************************************************************************** * * * SITE-SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS * * * * Override any of the defaults in *.tmpl here.
