[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Trouble with xgif, binaries anyone??

mascagni@ncifcrf.gov (Michael Mascagni) (02/05/90)

I got the source for xgif, the x-window based GIF file viewer from the
standard anonymous ftp source: dsl.cis.upenn.edu.  I brought the xgif.sh
file over to my rt (running AIX), and unshared it OK.  Using the enclosed
Makefile I got errors from the C compiler that I really can't figure a way
around.  Does anybody out there have either the xgif binaries for the RT
or the suitably modified source code that works on the RT?  Thanks in advance.
Reply directly to me, no need to post suggestions.  If you need the same
information, e-mail me, and I'll send you a summary or (even better) the
guaranteed solution, once I get replies back!!--Michael Mascagni

You should have posted a transcript of your compile session or atleast
what errors you were getting. I have compiled xgif just fine using AIX
2.2.1/RT and can send you the binaries if you'd like in uuencoded
form; however, xgif has been made largely obsolete by the xloadimage
program now in the contrib section of the X11R4 distribution.
xloadimage compiles/works fine with X11R3, as well. I am posting
rather than mailing this because our newsfeed seems a whole heck of a
lot more reliable than our mailer, and to make the suggestion that
everyone switches to xloadimage.
