Any other suggestions? The menu portion of gnumacs under X11 is on hold until it can be re-written for new menus. It isn't necessary to have it to compile gnumacs (just don't uncomment the line #define HAVE_X_MENU in config.h). Also, right afterwards I installed 18.52 with the HAVE_X_WINDOWS variable set (or whatever it's name was) and it ran into problems compiling because it was missing an include file from /usr/include/X11. fonts.h or something like that. What can I do to compile a vanilla 18.52 on a new sun after installing X11R3? Given that everything is vanilla distributions and installations, I'm getting kind of frustrated. Ok, first you need some patches to 18.52, they are available anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) in contrib/ver-18.52.diff or you can send me mail and I will send them to you. Once these are installed, if your X include files or libraries are in a different place from the standard /usr/include and /usr/lib, you will have to add a -I or -L line to ymakefile (or xmakefile) so that it can find everything. After this, just recompile and go. I've installed both (gnumacs and X) on an Ultrix system as well as a Sun and had no problems. Just make sure that HAVE_X_WINDOWS is uncommented, HAVE_X_MENU is commented, and X11 is uncommented in the file src/config.h Bruce -- +*************************************************************************+ * Dana Chee (201) 829-4488 * * Bellcore * * Room 2Q-250 * * 445 South Street ARPA: dana@bellcore.com * * Morristown, NJ 07960-1910 UUCP: {gateways}!bellcore!dana * +*************************************************************************+
