Has anyone REALLY compiled and run the R4 code under AIX? The APA16 code doesn't compile and the megapel doesn't work for me. Is anyone interested in getting this to work?

If you had been reading this group or comp.windows.x for a while, you should know that there is no working X11R4 server for AIX 2.2.1/RT. There should be an addendum file on the distribution somewhere stating this. Evidently, IBM chose not to give MIT a sample server... Anyway, the libraries all compile fine, as do clients that do not rely on server extensions.

I asked questions about this before. If someone hase done this, I'd like to hear about it too. -- Peter Mutsaers email: muts@fysaj.fys.ruu.nl Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht nmutsaer@ruunsa.fys.ruu.nl Princetonplein 5 tel: (+31)-(0)30-534504 3584 CG Utrecht, Netherlands

All the pieces are there - for the megapel version at least. I'm in the process of re-compiling at the current patch level (via make World) right now. Making the sample work can't be as difficult as implementing a server from scratch ( I hope ). I've already found a few obvious mistakes in some of the megapel/hft code. -- | "Pain, n.

It works on the platforms it was meant to work on, AOS 4.3 and AIX PS/2. You may be able to get it to work on AIX RT, since as you say, most of the pieces are there. It was known at the time(by me at least) that the code didn't work on AIX RT, and no effort was put into making it work. --Jeff (former IBM X hacker...)
