Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce From: doug@foxtrot.ccmrc.ucsb.edu (Douglas Scott) Subject: SUBMISSION: MIT-to-Mouse-X Source Patches Organization: Next Announcements Approved: sanguish@digifix.com I have submitted a set of patches which can be applied to the X11 R5 source code tree (as distributed by the X Consortium at MIT) to allow users to compile the complete X11R5 distribution on NeXT 3.0 machines. This set of patches and a README file are available only in pub/next/submissions on the archive at cs.orst.edu. The following two files can be found there: X11R5-source.patch.README X11R5-source.patch.tar.Z The following is an excerpt from the README: The file X11R5-source.patch.tar.Z contains a number of patch files, divided according to the portion of the mit code that they patch. CAVEAT: COMPILING THE X SOURCE TREE IS NOT A PROJECT FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE COMPILING C CODE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY AND USING MAKEFILES. GET INVOLVED IN THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK :-) DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS SET OF PATCHES ON A VIRGIN COPY OF THE MIT SOURCE--I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME. I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO NOT TESTED THIS USING THE NATIVE NEXT C COMPILER. IF YOU ARE **SURE** THAT YOU HAVE FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE NEXT PATCHES (I.E., MISSING FILES OR BAD PATCHES), PLEASE LET ME KNOW. There will be additional smaller patches made available in the near future, as the X server code is improved.
