I'm trying to set up a Kanji-capable X system on a Sun Sparc running
SunOS 4.1.1, based on the MIT source distribution of X11R5.  I have
two problems:

1) I cannot get a successful build of contrib/lib/Xwchar or
   contrib/lib/Xaw.  I think the problem is with my understanding
   of the xmkmf/imake system.  Somehow, I am unable to give 
   appropriate arguments to xmkmf so that the generated makefile
   actually works.  Any suggestions?

2) I have tried to apply the contrib-fixes patches to many of
   the contrib clients.  These patches appear to basically internationalize
   some of the clients.  Although the patch program claims that the
   patches ran OK, the resulting source code is incorrect and refuses
   to compile (syntax errors, etc.).  Any suggestions?

Thank you for any help you can give.  Please reply in English, as I
neither speak nor read Japanese.

-Dean
