{Pardon if this has been asked/answered before; I'm just now getting around to it.} I have an X11R4 source tree that is patched through fix-18. When I apply the fix-osf patch (which only touches lib/Xt/TMstate.c) only one of the three patches ``takes.'' As for the other two, it kind of looks like one of them was fixed in TMstate but in a different manner and the third one I just can't tell. Can anyone else who has done this or just knows what the score is for these patches tell me if I can just ignore the failed patch pieces, whether I have to sort of reverse engineer them in somehow, or whether I will have to bite the bullet and create a second X11R4 source tree patched only to fix-14 plus the offending fix-osf patch? My notion was to save space by having a simple config switch that would swap out my site.def file (so that I can change the target for the library files and maintain separate unpatched and patched X libs) and this TMstate.c file such that a make World would build either the bare X11R4 or the Motif patched X11R4 with different install targets. This isn't going to work very well if I can't use the X11R4 through fix-18 source tree for both versions ... -- alfred Internet: execu!sequoia!unisql!alfred@cs.utexas.edu UUCP: {uunet, cs.utexas.edu!execu}!sequoia!unisql!alfred The government I live under has been my enemy all my active life.

So far as I can recall I have never had any contact with it that was not an outrage on my dignity and an attack on my security. -- from The Diary of H. L. Mencken

If you have applied fix-osf, back it out before applying fix-17. If you have Motif 1.1, you can use the standard X11R4 intrinsics. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Systems Engineering, OSF uunet!osf.org!dbrooks "No, I didn't say I wanted a Bud light!!!" -- Oedipus
