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 ?
