Dear Netters:

Recently, I bought a X window system from MIT. It is X11R5. I want to compile
the system on my host, which is a VME147 plus the UNIX SYSV/68 Release 3 Version
6 as the O/S. As you may know, I encounter so many problems such as the lack of
Unix Domain Socket on my O/S.

Does anybody know what should I do to compile the X window system on my host? I
know there are new version for my O/S, which is version 7 provided by Motorola.
Do you know whether the new version O/S has features the X windows needs?

Thanks in advance

You have to have the NSE6.2 (Network Service Extensions). These
provide sockets --- and header files [perhaps even complete ?] ...

You may buy a X11R4 from Motorola ..... Or you buy yourself a 
brand new workstation .. works and is by far cheaper ;-<<<<<<<<<

Serious:
1) A running GCC (presumably 2.3.3, its underway. Eikil and I do it)
	required for xmkmf and other tools.  "cc" will not do it.

2) LOTS of disk space.

a) latest GNU-make to be able to execute the generated Makefiles,
	"make" by Motorola is definitely broken. 
b1) GNU-Emacs to have a comfortable environment.
b2) a working debugger --- we made a GDB-3.5 for sysV68R6.2
c) an output device (Xserver). 
	You may buy a MVME390 - MVME393, but these cost more 
	than 2 small Sparcs ;-<<<<<<<<<

You have to buy the NSE anyway, indepenent of actual revision number. 
Network support is _NOT_ part of BOS (Basic Operating System).

SysV68R7.[01] seems to have an unbelievable bug concerning signal
handling and debugging. Watch my post.
