It should. hi, what's the benefit of using built-in shared-library if auis is not be used in multi-user environment but in a standalone fashion as most people do in _386BSD_ platforms? efforts needed to make auis to use dlopen(), etc, is a practice of coding: just borrow the idea of SUNOS-4.1* and put in the Imakefiles. however, LINKDL_ENV is not formally being supported as stated in the release notes. also, besides using AUE, i don't know if there's anyone intensively developing ATK applications. i.e. it appear to me that the shared-library version will only benefits system developers who _should_ be capable of making the necessary changes but to rely on CMU support. frankly, i had made a statically linked version of auis-6.3 on FreeBSD-1.1. please comment on whether i should make it ftpable. it's based on X11R6, but since it use statically linked libraries (*.a), it will run fine on R5 environment and there's no need to ldconfig /usr/andrew/lib. i'm also interested in knowing whether there's organisation which use or will use auis in multi-user production environment. to add, it seems to be more reasonable to add support of waorstation attached printer to auis, don't you think so? clarence chu ... * Origin: (6:700/132)
