Greetings All,
I am having a bit of a problem with my newly installed
X11R4 from Mr. Roell. I've install gcc-1.39 as well as
that seems to be a requirement for writing X programs with
this X11R4 implimentation.
When compiling/linking any simple X program (xconq, xsperm) I
get link errors:
cannot find:
ptsname (/usr/lib/libX11.a) first referenced.
plus two others that have "pt" in them, such as unlockpt
or something. Sorry I'm not as specific as I should be.
As fas as I can tell, it has something to do with STREAMS. I un-installed
and re-installed STREAMS, but to no avail.
Also, should I be doing anything with the files
/usr/lib/X11/shlib/libX11.4.0 ... etc. Has this anything to
do with anything?
Any comments at all are helpfull. Thanks in advance.
Karl.

[rest deleted...] This is the second posting of this question this week. Does that make it 'Frequently Asked'? On ISC (2.0.2 for me), when running X386 (1.1a for me), I need to link in libinet.a to get the Socket API and -lpt to get the clone devices (for lack of a better term) API. In summary: Use the following link libraries in all X programs that use X386 (aka Roell X11R4): -lX11 -linet -lpt Note that the -linet and -lpt must come AFTER -lX11, which of course should come after -lXm, -lolgx, -lXt or other associated libs. -- David Van Beveren INTERNET: emisle!dvb@ism.isc.com EIS ltd.

Does anybody outthere use imake(n) at all ???? This program preprocesses the Imakefile into a Makefile. This is done base upon some rules and defaults (look at /usr/lib/X11/config !) And there is a special config-file: at386.cf You just have to edit it (i.e setting the flags at the begin of the file and defining your real platform if you're using the X386 binaries. There are some important flags: HasGcc Whether to use gcc or not (and instead link explicitely the gcc-gnulib) HasSockets Use the real (OS-dep) socket-lib(s) or the emulation-lib. All the rest is computed internally. Nice idea, isn't it ? - Thomas -- _______________________________________________________________________________ E-Mail (domain): roell@informatik.tu-muenchen.de UUCP (if above fails): roell@tumult.{uucp | informatik.tu-muenchen.de} "If all else fails, read the intructions ..."
