Has anyone compiled Thomas Roell's VGA server with TCP/IP support? The compiled server in X11R4bin.tar.Z only has streams support, not TCP/IP. We need the TCP/IP support but we don't have 80 meg of free disk to do the compilation ourselves. If anyone has done this or is planning to do so, could they put the binaries somewhere they can be accessed by anonymous ftp? #include<lots of grovelling> Barbara La Scala Internet: bfls@cain.anu.edu.au

I have managed to compile and link most of the stuff with TCP/IP support. Almost all the problems I mentioned earlier in this group were solved by using stock gcc rather than one modified for use with gas. There are still some problems left, though: Xdm will not compile. It depends on <sys/un.h>, which is not on my system. I'm using ISC Unix 2.0.2 with TCP/IP 1.2. When I start the server, "Getting interface configuration: invalid argument" is displayed, just before it goes to graphics mode. This message turns out to come from mit/server/os/4.2bsd/access.c, which does an ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) that fails. TCP/IP connections do not work. When I do an "xterm -display localhost:0", ps shows there is a process, and netstat shows there is a connection, yet no window appears. I had to add "-linet" to ExtraLoadFlags in mit/config/at386.cf. The comments indicate this would only be necessary when using non-shared libraries. This confuses me. Did I do the right thing? Otherwise, everything works just like in the binary distribution. Every help concerning these matters is greatly appreciated. -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 3542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 3512837
