- hello-
-
- i am currently installing the xview3 package from the user contributed
- software for X11R5. i got it all to compile (finally), but now the
- cmdtool and textedit programs do not work. i have several compilation
- errors while building the package that i suspect may be causing some
- problems. the problems i encountered were:
-
- (1) in the file xview3/lib/libxview/panel/p_view.c
-
- in line 3 there were to " next to each other in the
- sccs id line. i just took one of them out, and it
- compiled fine.
-
- no big deal.
-
- (2) in the file xview3/lib/libxview/scrollbar/sb_compat.c
-
- in line 69 there was a type conflict with the attr
- variable. the function prototype had it as type
- Scrollbar_attr and the function itself had it as
- Attr_attr. so i changed it to Scrollbar_attr, and
- it compiled with no more errors.
-
- i am not real sure about this part.
-
- (3) in the file xview3/lib/libxview/textsw/txt_edit.c
-
- in line 524 there was a type conflict with the
- variable buf_len. the function prototype had it
- as an int and the function header had it as a
- long int. so i changed it to int, and it seemed
- to compile with no problems.
-
- i am not too worried about this either.
-
- for more background info:
- o using X11R5 with the Xkernel package from ctr.columbia.edu to make
- sun 3/50s X terminals.
- o using the contributed xview3 software from export.lcs.mit.edu for
- X11R5
- o using the gcc compiler version 1.39 to build xview3
-
- the problem is that when i try to start up a cmdtool or textedit it gives
- me a 'Bus error (core dumped)', and i dont know why. any help is greatly
- appreciated.
