Lines: 43 I recently tried to compile X11R4 on apollos and almost succeded in completely compile and installation procedures. The compilation of the MIT part went ok but when I did the make install I ran in to couple of problems. (a) A Fatal Error was reported by cpp when compiling resource.c. It looked like this : installing in ./clients/xdm... rm -f resource.o cc -c -O -U__STDC__ -D_PROTOTYPES -I../../. -DBINDIR=\"/usr/X11R4/bin/X11\" -DXDMDIR=\"/usr/X11R 4/lib/X11/xdm\" -DSIGNALRETURNSINT -DTCPCONN -DNO_TCP_H -DOSMAJORVERSION=10 -DOSMINORVERSION=1 '-DDEF_SERVER_LINE=":0 secure /usr/X11R4/bin/X11/X :0"' '-DXRDB_PROGRAM="/usr/X11R4/bin/X11/xrdb"' '-DDEF_SESSION="/usr/X11R4/bin/X11/xterm -ls"' '-DDEF_USER_PATH=":/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R4/bin/X11:/ usr/ucb"' '-DDEF_SYSTEM_PATH="/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R4/bin/X11:/usr/ucb"' '-DDEF_SYSTEM_SHELL= "/bin/sh"' '-DDEF_FAILSAFE_CLIENT="/usr/X11R4/bin/X11/xterm"' '-DDEF_XDM_CONFIG="/usr/X11R4/lib/X11 /xdm/xdm-config"' '-DDEF_AUTH_FILE="/usr/X11R4/lib/X11/xdm/auth-server"' '-DCPP_PROGRAM="/lib/cpp"' Other than this I did not have any problem. I brought up the X server and it performed well except for the following. (a) The menus in the xterm window do not work (b) Some times it takes quite a few seconds to bring(po up) the twm menu. Particulary if it has not been poped up for a while. Sounds like paging. Altho I was trying it on a 32 meg m/c. The performance is certainly better than the R2 server I have been feeding on (Shared X). Any ideas How to get rid of the above problems? Any performance boosting ideas are welcome. I am still on 10.1 Anshuman Razdan Sector CAD Motorola razdan@chanakya.sps.mot.com
