Hello Frank
Thank you for your answer to the twm question. I am considering fvwm, but I
was "urged" to test
fltk. And that "urgency" was because before of fltk, I tried FOX, with all
tests SIGSEGVing at the
very start. So, I was doubting regarding my compilation environment for X.
I was trying to contact you or another "qnx port" team member to ask some
basic questions.
If you don�t take this as abuse, now that I know your mailbox, I would like
to ask those again,
and directing this mail to you and not the list, because I think this is
very specific to QNX 4.x.
I tried first the binary distribution from the jcmichot page, but that
failed to run, ( later I learned why
: it was trying to open a unix socket for local connections ), then I
compiled XFree86 4.2 from source, under these restrictions:
1) I don�t have libcrypt, only login, and only in 3r ( login3r.lib ).
2) I have only TCP/IP 4.23 and 4.25 run times, so, no Unix sockets.
Then, I adapted QNX4.cf to this environment, eliminating UNIXCONN and
changing compiling options to -5r.
Also, I needed to �touch� some sources and makefiles ( If you consider these
interesting, I can post you the changes - in fact, one is to my judge, very
important ). All went ok, and, as you could see
from my posting to the list, I have a functional X environment. But some
questions arise
1 - the most intriguing: why the so big stack ( if you remember, QNX4.cf
forces XFree86 linking to
 -N4096000 ). I tried to figure out if some modules are using alloca, but
the allocation coding is so
deep wrapped with macros ( also redefined ) that it proves a useless or
unsure path. So, I am asking to the people who knows. The main question is
that under the QNX 4 execution model, the stack
is allocated as hinted, even if the process don�t need all the space. After
a while, the data segment continues to grow - some 1 Mb more, I guess. This
is ok, because obviously, some data is allocated from heap. But I am asking
me if the stack remains largely unused.
2 - from the binary distribution, I see some clients ( xqsh, by example )
whose sources are not in the
source tree from xfree.org. Is there a way to get those specific QNX clients
sources ? Of course, the main question is keyboard management, I guess.
3 - Some more general xfree distribution question: I noted that cpp is not
in the source tree. Thankfully, I had it from the binary previously
installed. How could I obtain the source ?

Thank you in advance
Regards
Marcelo Nicolet
