I have X11R3 compiled with UseSunWindowsInServer running on a 3/260 under 4.0,
a 386i running 4.0.2, and a Sparcstation running 4.0.3c. I haven't 
had any significant problems building it, aside from the assorted
optimizer glitches. I have fixes 1-10 and the Purdue 2.1 speedups
installed, although I'm not sure that makes any difference.

Make sure you have the following in your Sun.macros file:

#define SunOSPlatform     YES		/* set to NO if not running SunOS */
#define OSName            SunOS 4.0
#define OSMajorVersion    4
#define OSMinorVersion    0

and later:

#define UseSunWindowsInServer	YES

If it still doesn't build, you should check to make sure your SunOS
distribution is all there.

And yes, it does allow you to run X on top of SunView, after a fashion.
Start up SunView with just a shelltool running, then run xinit or
xdm from inside it. SunView applications will execute correctly
when invoked from an xterm or whatever, but since the two systems
don't communicate about the screen state, you'll need to invoke
the SunView application with a following call to xrefresh, like

		$ calctool; xrefresh

Good luck.
