[comp.sys.sequent] Installing X-windows

johnl@flash.UUCP (John R. Lee) (03/13/90)

I am in a process of trying to install X11R4 on a Sequent Symmetry machine
running DYNIX 3.0.12.  MIT provided manual does not mention anything about
install on a Sequent.  I have very strong feeling that if I try to 
run 'make World' with out any modifications it may not work, and 
I am not sure what modifications to make for my environment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This what we have done to build X11R4 on a sequent Balance running DYNIX 3.0.14

1 - Add the following lines to mit/config/Imake.tmpl

#ifdef sequent
#define MacroIncludeFile <sequent.cf>
#define MacroFile sequent.cf
#undef sequent
#define SequentArchitecture
#endif /* sequent */

2 - Created a sequent.cf file below. (It's a copy of bsd.cf with few changes)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
 * 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 DefaultCDebugFlags      -g
#define LibraryCDebugFlags      -g
*/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

Everything built just fine.
