Juengst) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions,comp.windows.x Subject: XFree86-2.0, NetBSD-current, shared libs Date: 20 Nov 1993 20:01:28 GMT Organization: Physikalisches Institut der Universitaet Bonn Lines: 37 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2clt2o$gpu@news.rhrz.uni-bonn.de> Reply-To: juengst@saph2.physik.uni-bonn.de NNTP-Posting-Host: saph1.physik.uni-bonn.de Hello, I've build XFree86-2.0 on a NetBSD-current(last week) system with shared libraries. It works, but not _perfectly_ yet. I've created a new rules file and a new tmpl file for netbsd with shared libraries. My site.def includes every optional extensions and libraries (like SHM and PEX). Now I've got some questions. Later when the following problems are sovled I could publish the new files + patches. - libXmu needs libXt, but the toolkit library isn't included in the Imakefiles of the applications (like xsetroot) nor by the config files. Is it a good idea to add something like XmuClientLibs ? I saw that there's a XawClientLib definition. Any better idea ? - libphigs will not be created as shared library at the moment. Is it OK to add the neccessary statements ? Is there any known problem with a shared libphigs ? - Every standard program from the X11R5 tree which uses Xaw and Xt works, but there's a problem with motif applications (1.1.2, only static libs available). Initialize.c from the libXt reports an "Unresolved inheritance operation" if one links the application with the shared Xt library. It works fine with the static Xt library (the other libraries linked as shared lib). I think it's an initialisation problem (pointer of functions), isn't it ? Does anybody have a good idea how to solve this problem ?
