- In the course of trying to set up a Kanji-capable X system, I'm trying
- to build some of the internationalized clients from the "contrib" X
- distribution.
-
- Like a good little X builder, I downloaded and applied the patches to
- the appropriate contrib files. The patching appeared to run
- correctly. Building the results fails miserably. I'm following
- instructions, using xmkmf and all that, but things fail to compile,
- claiming syntax errors, missing includes, you name it. I've
- successfully compiled lots of other X code on this system, so it's
- something more subtle than a basically fried X setup.
-
- A) Are there tricks to getting some of the internationalized clients
- and libraries to build at all?
-
- B) Are there tricks to applying the patches correctly. Although patch
- didn't complain, some of the patches seem to be really bizarre
- (doubling the contents of source files in xposit, for example).
-
- Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
-
- Thanks for the help.
