X11R6 Contrib xmkmf problem

X11R6 Contrib xmkmf problem

Post by Lynn M Kubin » Sat, 18 Jun 1994 23:02:06



Hi,

I'm compiling X11R6 for Solaris 2.3 and have run across a problem
with the contrib software compilation.

I compiled the core distribution with very little trouble (used
gcc v2.4.5) and set ProjectRoot as /opt/X11.  The installation seems to
be fine (it runs :-) ).

I ran xmkmf -a in the contrib subdirectory and makedepend failed
on the showfont software as it was not able to find FSlib.h.  FSlib.h is
in: /opt/Xll/include/X11/fonts, but the Makefile created by xmkmf
doesn't have this path (the paths in the Makefile are all relative
to TOP=..).

Where have I gone wrong?  Is there an include file path parameter
that I needed to set for installation?  Does the path above
(/opt/X11/include/X11/fonts) look reasonable?  Is there something
wrong with showfont?

Thanks for any input/advice.  I'm new to Imakefiles and xmkmf, so
your help is much appreciated,

I ran into the same problem, i added the following lines
to my site.def file

#ifndef StandardIncludes
#define StandardIncludes -I..your dir...X11R6/include/X11/fonts
#endif

Which solved the cannot find FSlib.h.

Success Mark.

 
 
 

1. xmkmf X11R6 problems?

        I've been told that there are problems with X11R6 that may cause
xmkmf to work improperly.  Can anyone verify this?  Is there a fix for it?
Any help would be appreciated.  
                                        Thanks!
