I got XView 3.2 out of /contrib on ftp.x.org, and found it difficult to compile. There were many errors in the Makefiles, most typically spaces instead of tabs before shell commands. Another serious error was a couple of functions which called _doprnt and _doscan, and messed around with the internals of the FILE type. Yet another error was caused by lack of the tsearch() family of functions in libc. But I managed to get through all that and actually got it compiled. Most of the demo programs worked beautifully. I say 'most' because any XView program which catches the MENU button (mouse button 3) dumped core when I pressed the MENU button. Everything else worked fine. So, has anyone else tried to build XView (any version)?
