I am attempting to compile VNC 4.1.1 on AIX 5.2. I've unpacked the file, went
to ftp.xfree86.org and downloaded X86free 4.5.0 so that when unpacked it went
into the xc dir.
Went to the "unix" dir, did the configure and can build all the initial files no
problem. Then went to xc to build the Xvnc. I tried all this with and without
the patch file being applied.
I should mention I am using gcc-3.3.3 by setting the CC environment variable.
Question 1:
I had to edit xc/config/cf/ibmLib.rules in the following section. There are
apparently too many "#else" statements and I am not sure what this is really
meant to be. Also, in the second block-o-code (after the first #else), the
FONTLIB line is wrapped and "R" missing from BUILDLIBDI? Can someone tell me
what this section should look like? (For my attempts below, I took out the
first
#else and added the "R" and unwrapped the line).
# if OSMajorVersion < 4

# endif
# endif
I also had to edit ibm.cf to change the xcl to gcc. I think this is no
problem...???
Question #2
After setting up numerous links to "extensions" so that all include files can
be found, I can do a "make World" and all seems to go well until it attempts
to create the libvnc.a. No where above this point can I see where the files
vncExtInit.o vncHooks.o XserverDesktop.o are compiled/created, so of course
the ar fails. The question is where and when should those files be created
and why are they being skipped?
making all in programs/Xserver/vnc...
make[5]: Entering directory
`/auto/u/rdsnfs4/t901353/src/vnc-4_1_1-unixsrc/unix/xc/programs/Xserver/vnc'

I can send the whole "make World" output if needed.
Anyone have any ideas here? Any help apprecitated!
thanks
