I just finished downloading the XView toolkit from expo, so now I'm
ready to build it. (I think :-) 

After reading all these horror stories about installing it, though, I'm a
bit leery..  Which brings me to my question.

There seem to be a lot of "little fixes", "well, that should have been
documented somewhere"'s, and other "build hints" that have floated
across the group lately, and I'm wondering.. Did anybody keep a record
of them?  ... and more importantly, can anybody post an "all-inclusive"
[well, you know what I mean] guide to installing the XView toolkit?

A few tidbits about my particular environs..

1. XView source tree will be sitting in ~aschaffe/XView  [I am NOT root, BTW]
2. X11R4 source tree sits in ~some_other_user/X11R4  [who is also not root]
     X11R4 has been compiled (using cc) & is working properly.
3. My workstation is a Sun 3/60, running SunOS 4.0.3
4. I can use either gcc or cc.
5. I remember a lot of hullabaloo about fonts.  What was this all about?
     BTW, mine (the ones that came with X) are in /usr/lib/X11/fonts.

Any suggestions?  Helpful hints?  ...Please post them, as I'm sure others
will be interested as well.
