[comp.windows.open-look] XView on a Sun 386i/150

gg10@prism.gatech.EDU (gg10 ) (03/15/91)

I have just finished building XView2.0 on a Sun 386i/150.  I got two
warnings about illegal pointer assignment which I don't think should cause
any problems.  I think there's a missing prototype which is causing one
of the notifier internal functions to default to type int.  But if I'm
correct, ints and pointers should be the same size so the effect is
essentially null.  Is this true?

I edited the site.cf, sun.cf and XView.cf imake config files and starting
running "make World" as described in README.  It crashed once because it
tried to execute objsort.sh and this script was not set to have execute
permission.  Again not too major so I fixed this, found a couple more just
like it, and continued.

When everything was finished I compiled a user interface that I have working
at work on a 4/65.  Came up ok and then gave a Memory fault
when I pressed a button on the main menu.  This code is very small, with 5 or
6 panels.  Just a first effort at XView.  The running size is small, and
I have verified that the code is clean(i.e., I don't think this is a coding
error).

So is there anyone out there running XView on a 386i who can lend advice on
installing.  I've tried compiling with and without the shared libraries,
with no better luck.

Thanks in advance,
