Sherouse) writes: We have encountered (only!) two problems installing R4 on the above-mentioned equipment, one expected and the other not. 1) The mutant industrial R2ish DECwindows server, while impressively fast, does not fit well in our otherwise R4 shop. Fonts in particular are a real problem. Where can I go for an R4 server for this beast? Why buy a PX and then not use the DEC server? The font problem is easily solved by filling /usr/lib/X11/fonts/MIT with the .pcf files generated from using dxfc on the MIT .bdf files. Then use dxmkfontdir and add FILE_NAME_ALIASES to fonts.alias and you're all set (this directory is on the servers font path). 2) Xterm fails to build under Ultrix 4.0. The compiler chokes on statements of the form fileno(stderr) = something; claiming illegal lhs. There is one such statement in each of main.c and misc.c. I'm not real clear on what the author is up to here so am reluctant to just start twiddling it. Any clues would be appreciated. In the 4.0 UWS release notes (pg 1-6) DEC talks about MIT clients and says that you have to change fileno(stderr) on the lhs of an expression to stderr->_file. This apparently comes about because of POSIX requirements.
