[Sorry if you get this again, I'm not sure my message reached the
world :-) (I said Distribution: World, I think it should be  comp ).
So here it is again: ]

Today I tried to compile XView 2.0 on a SparcStation and on a Sun 3/50
with SunOS 4.0.3. Unfortunately I did not succeed, I got the following
error:

> making all in ./lib/libxvol/frame...
> ln -s ../../libxview/xstrings strings
> rm -f frame.o shared/frame.o
> cc -E -DSHAREDCODE -DSUNSHLIB -O  -I/homes/triton/X11R4/more_contrib/XView/xview2/build/usr/include   -I/usr/include     frame.c \

> -o shared/frame.o
> cc: Fatal error in cpp: Segmentation fault
> *** Error code 1

Fortunately I found a workaround for this problem:
In line 223 of config/XView.rules insert 

	-Qoption cpp -P

after $(CC). Then cpp doesn't dump core anymore.

But this is not the only problem I had (and have) with XView 2.0 .
I tried to print xview2/doc/conversion/Book.ps on our LaserWriter 2 and
on our LaserWriter Plus, but after page 13 each printer says:

  %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: getinterval ]%%
  %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

(pageview from OpenWindows 2.0 dies after page 13, too).
How can I print this document (I need it!).

Next problem:
Where has WIN_EVENT_STATE gone ??? I can`t find it in the header-files,
but cv2xview doesn't complain about it. Remember: I wasn't able to print
the conversion document :-)

And another problem: In xview2/config/XView.obj I had to change the lines

  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(PUB_INCDIR),/**/)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(XVPUB_INCDIR),/**/)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(PRI_INCDIR),/**/)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(XVPRI_INCDIR),/**/)

to 

  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(PUB_INCDIR),.)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPUBLIC),$(XVPUB_INCDIR),.)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(PRI_INCDIR),.)
  BuildIncludes($(HDRSPRIVATE),$(XVPRI_INCDIR),.)

'cause the first version built symbolic links of the form

  alert.h -> ../../../..//./lib/libxvol/notice/alert.h
                        ^^
in xview2/build/usr/include/xview, and so the header-files couldn't be
found.

Last and least a problem with imake in general:
It should be possible to set StripInstalledPrograms to YES without these
annoying problems with shellscripts (strip doesn't like them:

	[...]
	install -c -s   xmkmf /usr/bin/xview
	install: xmkmf not in a.out format.
	*** Error code 1
        make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install'
)

Phew, that was all for now.

I hope, someone out there in netland can help me.

Regards,
Swen
