- XTrappies:
-
- I've been trying for a few days now to incorporate XTrapV3.2 into MIT X11R5.
- For those of you who have done it without any problems as the docs says should
- happen, could you please enlighten me.
-
- 1) Which package of XTrap is current; the one released with MIT contrib tapes
- or the standalone version XTrapV3.2.tar.Z? I ask this because their
- directory hierachy is different.
-
- [Refering to XTrapV3.2.tar.Z directroy hierachy from here out]
-
- 2) Does the ./contrib/extensions/server/xtrap/build/install.XTrap* really
- work? I have problems with BOTH sets of linking schemes provided. The
- first set links ok. But when compiling, the makefile chdir's into
- the linked contrib source directory and then refers to something via dots
- (../) to something in the MIT directory. With the second set of links, the
- contrib source files are missed by about 1 or 2 directories.
-
- 3) Which patch level of X should XTrap be applied to? Does it even matter?
-
- 4) I get rejections from 2 of the patches. After examining the patches, it
- looks like the author's X source is different than that of MIT's. Just one
- example, in MIT's ./mit/server/Imakefile, there is this:
-
- XCOMM $XConsortium: Imakefile,v 1.135 91/09/22 10:27:51 rws Exp $
- /*
- * Server Master Makefile
- */
-
- #include <Server.tmpl>
-
- #define StdSubdirs dix os ddx/mi
- #define MFBSubdirs StdSubdirs ddx/mfb
- #define CFBSubdirs MFBSubdirs ddx/cfb
- #define StdLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(MI) $(EXTENSIONS)
- #define MFBBareLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(FONT) $(MFB) $(MI)
- #define MFBLibs MFBBareLibs $(EXTENSIONS)
- #define CFBBareLibs $(DIX) $(OS) $(FONT) $(CFB) $(MFB) $(MI)
- #define CFBLibs CFBBareLibs $(EXTENSIONS)
-
- But in the author's patches, the lines after `#include <Server.tmpl>',
- which the patch uses as an anchor, don't exist in both the old and new
- sections.
-
- AND... in the same file, MIT has this line ...`/ospex/libospex.a' while
- in the authors', it has this line ...`/ospex/4.2/libospex.a'.
-
- Again, this is just to name a few.
-
- 5) I found that <sys/time.h> has to be included in chparse.c, correct?
-
- 6) I found that prototying problems for non-ANSI C in xtrapchar.c, correct?
-
- Is there something else, last minute bug fixes maybe, that I should know about?
- Is there a more plug-n-play XTrap package out there? Messing with the things
- I did just to get it to compile might have screwed something up.
