Hi Tom,

I successfully compiled vile and xvile on both my Solaris and Tru64 without a problem.

Thanks as usual for your outstanding work!!

This should be fixed with 9.7w (this morning).

This problem is simpler - it's broken since I
reused a symbol in the makefile, which normally
would be usable for all scripts, but forgot that
for vile, it happened to work only for vileget
(a script that has to be tweaked for the perl
path).  So it worked for me because I happened
to build with perl.  I'll attach a diff for this
fix (and still have to investigate the other issue
that I noticed).

thanks ... (Last night, I encountered a different issue with
Tru64 - something that's breaking in the substitution
for the app-defaults path, due to some shell scripting
problem).  I'll check on this, too (perhaps it's related).

Hi Tom,

The problem has gone on my Slackware box, but I'm seeing different problems on my Solaris 2.9 box and my Tru64/Alpha box.

For the Solaris, running:
    sh ./configure --disable-filters --with-screen=x11; make


worked.

Then running:
make install

Resulted in:

make: Warning: Too many rules defined for target '

/bin/sh ./mkdirs.sh '

/bin/sh ./sinstall.sh  ./install-sh -c  ./macros/uxvile /usr/local/bin/uxvile

./sinstall.sh: -c: not found

* Error code 1

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `/usr/local/bin/uxvile'




On Tru64, the:

sh ./configure --disable-filters --with-screen=x11; make

failed with:

configure: creating ./config.status

config.status: creating makefile

config.status: creating filters/makefile

config.status: creating filters/makefile.tmp

config.status: creating config.h

** no change to ./filters/genmake.mak

Checking for built-in filters: none

Checking for external filters: none

Checking for loadable filters: none

make: 'lib/X11/app-defaults'': extra chars.  Stop.

I tried both of these twice from a clean install, just to see if it was something I caused.  And leaving out the configure switch "--with-screen=x11" worked fine for both machines/OSes.

Let me know if you need more output.

9.7v should fix all this

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the patch.  I finally got a chance to try it on my Slackware64 v13.0 box and it works a treat.

BTW - I've been doing distro hopping lately and I'm going to be trying out gNewSense, so I won't be able to test Slackware for a while.  One of these days, I really need to install the free Citrix XenServer on my machine...

It's odd if it's a problem on Slackware 13
(since the definition's been there a while).
However.  I'm attaching the simple fix that
I had in mind - please verify that.  (There
are other fixes in 9.7u so far).

Hi Tom,

I tried this on my home machine running Slackware64 v13 and received the attached errors.

Hope this helps troubleshooting!

thanks (I know how to work around).  Those are
not defined in older X's -- I did make fixes for
the versions that I could test-compile on.

I recall some issue with Solaris where they
had copied the XA_xxx definitions from XFree86
(so my ifdef worked), but the actual atom was
not declared.

I get the same error on our Solaris 9 box, but xvile continues to work??  See attached

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling xvile 9.7u on my DEC Alpha/Tru64 box.  Here are the messages I received when doing the make:

ld:
Unresolved:
_XA_COMPOUND_TEXT
XmuInternAtom


Then after the make install and then trying to run xvile I get:

> xvile

522345:/usr/local/bin/xvile: /sbin/loader: Error: /usr/local/bin/xvile: symbol "_XA_COMPOUND_TEXT" unresolved
522345:/usr/local/bin/xvile: /sbin/loader: Fatal Error: Load of "/usr/local/bin/xvile" failed: Unresolved symbol name

See attached for more information.

Let me know if you need more info.
