I am trying to take an Xwindows application and compile and run it under OS/2.
I would like to be able to log into my machine running OS/2 from a 
Sparcstation and have the program's UI be redirected to my workstation.   
Most X programs allow you to do this by using the -display options or
by setting the DISPLAY environment variable.

I have IBM's TCP/IP package which includes an X server, but in order to
build an X client program I need to link with the Xlib library.  I
also have the TCP/IP programmers kit, which does not contain Xlib, but
does contain the libraries for TCP/IP.  I also have the latest distribution
of mit X source.

It seems like I have all the ingredients to build the Xlib library myself.
Has anyone done this before, or is there an easier way, is this even
possible?
