There is a xv binary compiled for jump 4.0 (I think) on sunsite. But I
finally got the sources from I forget where, and compiled it with the
new jump tables (as on HJ's new bootable rootdisk). It compiled fairly
easily but the sources do take up a lot of space, and it took about
40 min on my 386/40. If there are more than a couple of interested people
I'll upload it somewhere.

I guess that was a stupid question. I a _lot_ of people have expressed
interest. Anyway, I'm uploading it to sunsite.unc.edu right now. It's in
/pub/Linux/Incoming. BTW is there a directory on tsx-11 for this kind of
thing?

WAIT! People have pointed out to me the incredably large size of the file
that I uploaded to sunsite. I looked at the Makefile and and guess what I
found. The debuging option was set. I went back to the original tar archive
that I got from ftp.uu.net and I it was set in there too! Anyway I will
relpace it as soon as possible.
Sorry,

I got several requests regarding what had to be done to compile xv. Well,
This is basicly it:
I got the sources from ftp.uu.net in
in the Makefile CC is: CC = gcc -traditional -O6
Note: if -traditional and -O6 are in CCOPTS they will not propagate to the
other makefiles (jpeg and tiff).
I'v never used diff so all I can tell you is this needs to be changed in
xvdir.c. It's about 45% into the file.

Change:

#ifdef DIRENT
# ifdef i386
/* Not 100% sure d_reclen is correct, but it works... MWS 10/18/90 */
fnames[i] = (char *) malloc(dp->d_reclen + 2); /* filetype + '\0'*/
# else
fnames[i] = (char *) malloc(strlen(dp->d_name) + 3);
# endif
#else
fnames[i] = (char *) malloc(dp->d_namlen + 2); /* +2=filetype + '\0'*/
#endif

to:

# ifdef i386
/* Not 100% sure d_reclen is correct, but it works... MWS 10/18/90 */
fnames[i] = (char *) malloc(dp->d_reclen + 2); /* filetype + '\0'*/
# else
fnames[i] = (char *) malloc(strlen(dp->d_name) + 3);
# endif

Other info:
If -DDIRNET is set in the makefile it will cause plenty of errors.
I checked memory usage a couple of times during compilation, and one time
a total of 20M of real and virtual memory was being used.

I uploaded xv compiled with -O6 to sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/Incoming.
It's _much_ smaller.

I'm sorry about the previous monster of a file.
