[comp.unix.aux] X11R4 installation on A/UX 1.1

MATLEVAN@EKU.BITNET (Jerry LeVan) (03/04/90)

Hello

There appears to be some problems with the A/UX v1.1
installation of X11R4.

I installed  gcc-1.37 and ran fixincludes.

I have installed fix-1 and fix-2 to the source distribution

I ran the R4setup.sh in ddx/macII

The Make processes completed with the following warnings:

xtest1dd.c:1441: warning: `find_residual_time' was declared implicitly
`extern' and later `static'
macIIInitS.c:191: warning: excess elements in aggregate initializer
macIIInitS.c:584: warning: `video_find' was declared implicitly
`extern' and lat
er `static'
macIIInitS.c:644: warning: `get_video_data' was declared implicitly
`extern' and
 later `static'
macIIInitS.c:702: warning: `get_all_video_data' was declared
implicitly `extern'
 and later `static'
macIIColor.c:71: warning: useless keyword or type name in declaration

The install process was a complete disaster. The bsdinst.sh
procedure improperly passes parameters to the mac Sys V install
utility. I was able to fix this problem by copying the bsdinstall
procedure in ddx/macII on top of bsdinst.sh in the scripts directory.

The server startup script in the /ddx/macII directory
*incorrectly* specifies the initial client and server. The man
page for xinit specifies that these routine names must start with a
period or slash (they don't and the server croaks).

There appears to be a problem with clients that call
ungetc, they die with a memory fault. Below is the best
I can do:

257$ sdb /usr/bin/X11/puzzle
Warning: `/usr/bin/X11/puzzle' not compiled with -g

*r

*********************************************************
I would appreciate a fix for the "ungetc" problem!

Miscellaneous Trivia.
I have a MacII with 40HZ Daystar accelerator and 8 MB of memory.
I loaded "Tape-1" on a 80 meg disk (well actually 151274 blks).
The make process lasted almost exactly eight hours. After
the make there where about 9000 blocks free.

When idling with 3 xterms,twm,xclock, and xload, there are
a little over 200 free pages (4K/page) available. If I am interpreting
the SZ field of "ps" correctly (8396) the server is hogging 4 MB
of memory.

Things appear to run quicker and the interface is spiffier
than X11R3.

Thanks for any help... Jerry
