In order to get every drop of performance from our Sun-3's I would like to
compile X11 with GNU gcc. It looks straight forward. Just change sun.cf &
site.def, right? There must be more to it.. I defined HasGcc in both those
files and run into a number of problems.
It tries to build shared libraries using gcc. I forced shared
libraries off and was able to build the server & client entirely with gcc.
When I run the new server it is unable to locate any screens on my 3/60.
(operation not supported on socket, ioctl inappropriate for device)
Recompiling all of X with Sun's cc works fine.
BTW, I have patches 1-14 installed. gcc is 1.37.1.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to try this :-) Is there any magic I have
missed?
Thanks in advance!
