Sigh). I just tried to build X11 using gcc as described above on a Sun 3/280 running SunOs 4.0.1. There were numerous problems ranging from duplicate typedefs to parsing errors. I had no trouble with cc. Could somebody who has made this work send me their Sun.macros file and any other hints. William E. Anderson NIST anderson@ceee.nist.gov
