Sorry to add to all of the X-talk on here but... I finally got Mouse-X installed on my Cube after removing the 0's that VMS added to the end of all of the .Znn files (I was doing this when I read the post about it being available as one file...). Anyway, it is up and running. Now, I thought It'd be nice to compile a few games for Mouse-X, to really make it usefull. I went and got xtetris from uunet.uu.net. I followed the directions in the README file, namely I ran 'xmkmf'. Here's what happened: [7](bonehead)/users/zazula/temp/xtetris-2.4> xmkmf mv Makefile Makefile.bak imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config /usr/lib/X11/config/Imake.tmpl:199: unterminated character constant imake: Exit code 33. Stop. Is Imake.tmpl broken or is it not this easy to build programs on the NeXT? I don't want to waste a lot of time on this (mine or anybody elses) but if it is a simple thing, could someone steer me in the right direction? Ralph P.S. Here are some disjointed thoughts: Does anyone know if it is bad to keep an OD mounted all the time? I do just that to increase my available disk space. I'm wondering if the disk is exposed to dirt/dust while it is mounted. Is the sliding cover pulled back all the time it is in the drive? It get's pretty dusty here in Tucson and last time I looked at the back of my cube, it had a layer dust over the fan! Well, today I installed a no-nonsense (or was that sheer-energy) solution... Yup, hacked up a pair of black knee-high hose and draped them over the back. I thought some of you might find *something* in that... |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ralph Zazula "Computer Addict!" | | University of Arizona --- Department of Physics | | UAZHEP::ZAZULA (DecNet/HEPNet) | | zazula@uazhe0.physics.arizona.edu (Internet) | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | "You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge." - Neil Peart | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Stop. I got this same result when I started building some X programs. To get xmkmf (or imake in this case) to parse Imake.tmpl properly, delete lines 199 and 200 (the lines begin with /**/# ...). I didn't try to determine why this problem occured, since removing the lines (which are just comments) corrected it. Another problem that bit me was the "add a space between macros, feature?" of the C preprocessor. How can this be turned off??!!!!! /* ** ============================================================================ ** ** Felix A.

The NeXT cpp doesn't work (i don't know why). I also couldn't build this version of xtetris though. A newer one from lcs.mit.edu did compile, but doesn't run. If you get it to run, let me know :-) ------------------------------------------------------------ Howie Kaye howie@columbia.edu Columbia University hlkcu@cuvma.bitnet UNIX Systems Group ...!rutgers!columbia!howie
