You can get a few helpful things from ~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000 on cs.utk.edu. I would first recommend installed the xlc.cfg from there, that make cc act a little more bsdish. I haven't had much trouble compiling the R4 libraries or clients. Xterm, however will not work without certain changes. See ~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000/R4xterm.patch -reed wade@cs.utk.edu

This is entirely correct; the AIX preprocessor is working the way ANSI would have it. > Any ideas anyone? I wrote a cpp which comes close enough to the Reiser semantics to work for every imake run I've tried it with - and that includes building the whole mit/ subtree on a NeXT. I have placed this into the public domain; you can do anything you like with it. You can ftp it from 132.206.1.1 in X/XNeXT/cpp.shar.Z. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
