If you are looking for a statically linked version of InterViews 3.0
for your Sun 4, a precompiled and linked distribution is available for
anonymous FTP from soda.berkeley.edu (128.32.131.179). It is
approximately 7 MB in size.
soda.berkeley.edu:pub/IV.3.0.sun4.res.tar.Z
This is the result of David N. Blank <dnb@media-lab.media.mit.edu>.
Here is a copy of the README file included in the distribution:
Howdy-
This is a version of InterViews 3.0 installed directory containing
the IV binaries and other supporting files. I wanted to be able to
run IV binaries on a machine which did not have the IV or C++ shared
libraries on it. As a result, I have built the binaries so that they
are dynamically linked to the X11 and C shared libs only. This means
bigger binaries, but you get portability (and a chance to be
alliterative). However, there is some fine print (without the font
change):
This is built with a resolver library (post-4.8 version of BIND
called utbind, from neat.ai.toronto.edu:pub/utbind.tar.Z)
statically linked in. This means that name resolution is done
solely through DNS (a /etc/resolv.conf must be present). I would
have also rolled a version which uses the (slightly broken) Sun
resolver library which does NIS resolution as well, but there is
a problem with this. The Sun library is compiled with the -pic
switch which is incompatible with the -PIC switch that I was forced
to use to compile some of the larger programs. C'est la vie.
Good luck with the InterViews!
Peace,
