- Jim,
- I have been using X386 1.1b for 2 years now, and am in the process of
- upgrading to XFree86 and X11R5. I started by grabbing the Binary's
- fir XFree86 on ISC, and found to my surprise that they didn't use
- the shared libraries. So I blew them away, and decided to go for
- the source and re-make it. (I had made X386 1.1b on R4). I have
- now applied fix-17, and the 1.1 patches for XFree86 to the R5 tree,
- and find in my going through x386.cf, and the .tmpl files that there
- is no defined way of createing shared libraries on ISC 2.2, or SysVR3.
-
- How best can I accomplish this? I don't have room for all the X binaries
- without using shared libraries. As it is, I had to remove several things
- that we normally need to keep on-line in order to build X in the first place.
-
- Does a patch exist to allow this? Any idea how difficult a fix this really is?
-
- Thanks...
-

- XFree861.2 will be announced at the X Technical Conference this Jan 20
- by David Wexelblat and myself. It will contain shared libraries for most
- of the X libraries plus a toolkit to allow quick porting of shared
- libraries from any archive library. All this work was contributed by
- Thomas Wolfram.
-
- Please wait for this release - it would be very confusing to have
- multiple shared library versions floating around :-)
-
- best regards,
- -Jim.
