I have discovered that the MacX package does not come with the Imake program and configuation files. I am not sure I can understand why Apple would supply the X11R4 libraries and all the necessary header files that make generating X11R4 applications possible and then not include the Imake program with the distribution of MacX. ALL SOURCE that is distributed in the X11R4 sources comes with Imakefiles for building the X applications. It is Imake that makes building applications possible on a variety of platforms (including a Mac running X-windows under A/UX). Not providing Imake with the MacX package is like giving someone a locker, but making them find the combination on their own. Can someone at Apple provide the Imake program and configuration files for A/UX availble on the A/UX support system so we can UUCP it to our systems? If that's not possible, maybe just an explanation on the net as to why the Imake stuff is not included in the MacX distribution. Peter Espen espen@well

I discovered this a bit back and have been too busy to figure out what happened or even to look at what was involved with bringing Imake to A/UX. Imake on apple.com sure would be tasty! -- mas The thousand stories have Come round to one again, Arabian night Our gods pursue their fight, What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light.

The next release of the X Window System for A/UX will include imake and friends. Today, you can obtain imake sources and the config file for A/UX (macII.cf) from any server on the net offering the MIT X11 distribution. Steve Peters X Project Leader A/UX Engineering Apple Computer, Inc.
