This update contains a new server (XmacII) which fixes several bugs related to problems with older versions of gcc (the 1e-07 bug). It also contains versions of the unshared libraries which appear to contain all the functions (unlike the old ones :-(). Also available in /archive/systems/aux/X11R4/diffs is a complete rewrite of the patch file used to produce X11R4 with shared libraries. This patch file should be MUCH easier to use than the old ones; no strange options were set when I made it, and it should fix everything in place and correctly for the build. Combined with either the fixed mkshlib from aux.support.apple.com or the A/UX 2.0.1 mkshlib, no strange hacking in binary files is required to get things working. As before, all changes to the X11R4 distribution contained in the patch files is released to the world under the MIT X copyright. Any redistribution of the changes is authorized provided I'm identified as the author of the changes. I would like to formally contribute the changes back into the public release of X; I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done to accomplish getting things folded back in. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
