- According to the RELEASE NOTES, and assuming you have the UNSUPPORTED
- MIT subsets installed, you should be able to compile X clients by
- adding
-
- #define StandardIncludes -I/usr/include/mit
-
- to the end of your site.def file in /usr/lib/X11/config directory.
- This usually works. Sometimes it is also necessary to change entries
- in the Makefile for libX11.a and libXext.a to libX11-mit.a and
- libX11ext-mit.a. If you are using X11R5 config files without the
- X11R5 libraries, you may run into trouble. If you have the disk
- space, the easiest solution is build the X11R5 distribution, specify
- ProjectRoot as another path (/usr/local/X comes to mind), install
- everything, then use the X11R5 config files to build other clients.
- Imake should create the proper Makefiles pointing to the ProjectRoot
- paths. All X11R5 clients in the basic MIT distribution work fine for
- me with DEC's R4 Xws server, and most DEC clients (except DPS) work
- with the R5 Xdec server. Of course, I'm running Ultrix 4.2A, but I
- don't believe these procedures have changed in 4.3, at least I didn't
- notice any new instructions when I saw the 4.3 RELEASE NOTES.
-
- I hope this helps,
