re trouble compiling x r on sunos in article apr fwi uva nl casper fwi uva nl casper h s dik writes epstein trwacs fp trw com jeremy epstein writes dmm head cfa harvard edu david meleedy writes there s a bug in sunos which is alluded to in the faq although there it s talking about x r as being affected you need to force libxmu to be linked statically rather than dynamically which works around the linker error the simplest thing to do is edit each of the makefiles where there s a failure and change the line which reads xmulib l xmusrc lxmu to xmulib l xmusrc bstatic lxmu bdynamic no this is only relevant for openwindows x as shipped with sunos it is not relevant for mit r mit r should compile without problems casper i don t know how many hours you ve spent on this but the sun user group

supply as much value added as possible to accomplish this we will be putting out a two disk set the first containing what s ready and needed now the second available later in containing more sparc binaries and other useful material not found on previous disks the sug disk which was assembled by robert a bruce contains a lot of essential source code and we decided it would be a great service to make it available right away to our members and this pricing makes this a good opportunity to become a member for per disk including one of those hard to find caddies if you are not a sug member you
