- The X11 R5 release notes state that it works on irix 4.0,
- anyone know of problems under irix 4.04 ? Thanks in advance.
-
- The only problems are:
-
- * there is no server (of course)
- * there are no shared libraries. This makes the clients so large that
- they are near unusable:

- [Compared with the X11R4 version (which has less features :-) on IRIX
- 4.0.5 using shared -lXt, -lX11 and -lc:]
-
- liasg2[simon]% ls -l /usr/bin/X11/oclock
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 184496 Dec 15 22:10 /usr/bin/X11/oclock*
-
- Other than that it works fine :-)
-
- Under IRIX 5.0, you should be able to use shared libraries, since
- X11R5 supports the SVR4 way of doing them (unlike the SVR3 way that's
- used under IRIX 4 )-:
