I had previously posted a request for information about getting X11R4 running under VxWorks. Although most replies were requests to send on whatever I found out (why is that always the case ;-), I did get a few pertinent replies. The simple answer is that there isn't anything available except the X11R2(3?) ones, but Wind River is coming out with a supported version (R4) of their own. From: hmp@frc2.frc.ri.cmu.edu (Henning Pangels) I don't know the answer to your question, but I have heard that Wind River is coming out with their official (read: supported) port of Xlib to VxWorks, I'd guess within the next 6 months. Depending on your agenda, it may be worth waiting for instead of hacking up your own. I also have heard that the Jupiter version wasn't very robust. From: mra@srchtec.UUCP (Michael Almond) We are planning to use the X11R3 you mention. From what I understand X11R4 will be avaiable in release 5 of VxWorks. In the mean time, there is always the work that Bob Schulman (sorry about forgetting your last name, Bob) at Jupiter Systems did. This is a port of either R2 or R3 (I forget which) and is what we had been using at the beginning of last year. It might still be obtainable through the vxWorks archives. From: bob@jupiter.com (Bob Schulman) Yo, that Bob be me. I haven't done anything with R4 client side stuff and vxWorks. Wind River is, as it's been for the past 15 months, "very close" to releasing current X client code which'll run under vxWorks. Contact them for some dates. Converting over Xlib wasn't what I'd call a major chore. But it definitely was NOT exciting. >Date: 10 Jan 90 20:41:33 GMT > >I have just sent sources for such a beast to the vxWorks archives maintained >at NCAR.
