Dear Iconographers,
Has anyone yet compiled Icon 9.4 to run under XDarwin?
For those who may not know, this is the XFree86 port
of X-windows for Darwin, the BSD 4.3 variant that Mac OS X
runs on top of. XDarwin is now a standard part of the
XFree86 distribution.
One of our tech support people here did manage to compile
Icon 9.4 without either co-expressions or X-windows support;
this was before the XDarwin port was available and he is now
quite busy on other tasks, so I can't really ask him to try
to recompile it. I'd be happy to attempt it myself, and
probably will at some point, but in my previous attempts
I have found the business with coexpression support to be
the major hangup in compiling Icon -- since the makefiles
seem to expect an rswitch.X, where X = "c" | "s", and since
they don't always seem to expect the same thing, I have
found that I run into roadblocks on architectures like this
that don't have a package yet.
I'd be happy to accept any pointers anyone might suggest.
