Message-ID: <4lj6jn$21p@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk> From: nbc@vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk (Neil Brendan Clark) Date: 23 Apr 1996 19:13:11 +0100 Organization: University of Strathclyde NNTP-Posting-Host: vulture.dmem.strath.ac.uk Lines: 16 I've just clobbered a perfectly good XF86 installation by compiling the entire X source tree with pgcc (which was using patch level 6). I had to help the compile along a bit by compiling the odd file with lesser optimizations or the original gcc, but in the end it got there. The trouble is, most things core dump or fall over very badly, including the S3 server and programs in /usr/X11R6/bin. Not good. I'm now moving to patch level 9 for pgcc - my question is, has anyone had any success with the X source tree and pgcc at this or any other patchlevel? -- Neil Clark Transparent Telepresence Group <http://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/>
