Actually, I also thought it was strange that XView was supported on the
alpha but no other 64-bit architecture, and had a brief look at it some
time ago. However, it seemed to be more than just plain 64-bit issues,
but also how messages were passed around in the system. The alpha port
has some quite elaborate patches which are way beyond me, and yes - I
can confirm that for instance "cmdtool" *do* work on my lowly alpha
(233MHz ev45 with 96MB memory). I guess there must be a reason as to
why not even Sun supports XView on 64-bit architectures and have, in
effect, ditched it.
I'd say that getting XView to run on amd64 amounts to more than just
a few trivial fixes. I might be wrong though, and perhaps aj's patches
in #294844 works.
