- I am trying to take an Xwindows application and compile and run it under OS/2.
- I would like to be able to log into my machine running OS/2 from a
- Sparcstation and have the program's UI be redirected to my workstation.
- Most X programs allow you to do this by using the -display options or
- by setting the DISPLAY environment variable.
-
- I have IBM's TCP/IP package which includes an X server, but in order to
- build an X client program I need to link with the Xlib library. I
- also have the TCP/IP programmers kit, which does not contain Xlib, but
- does contain the libraries for TCP/IP. I also have the latest distribution
- of mit X source.
-
- It seems like I have all the ingredients to build the Xlib library myself.
- Has anyone done this before, or is there an easier way, is this even
- possible?
