I must apologise for bringing up this old subject again but I was counting on
the 'authorities' here having enough funds to upgrade to A/UX 2.0 and/or Mac X.
But the funds are not withcoming, and thus I have to make do with the standard
distribution of X. I have ftp'ed Tape 1 of the disribution and installed the
source tree. I also have installed gcc off the distribution at apple.com.
However, my local news server has limited disk space and I can't retrieve the
relevant articles I noted a few months back.
My questions are:
1) I have read on this group a few months back that gcc is a better bet for
building X due to A/UX's cc's silly problem with symbol tables. What
makefiles do I need to change to make this work ? Do I need to change
the makefile/Imakefiles at every level or just the one at the top of
the source tree ?
2) Is it necessary to use gcc at all ? I'm not sure that I have gcc fully
installed properly :)
Thanx for any responses. E-mail or a posting would be great.
Arthur!!

PS : I installed emacs sometime ago as well. It edits okay but it fails to run
any inferior processes, giving me the error message :
"Process completed." Any clues as to what I did wrong ? I used the
distribution off apple.com, and followed instructions :)
