What's the proper way to fix this?
as a reminder to people who may not be familiar with things: previously, we provided an "Xrender" package, that provided the header files. The extension is somewhat odd, in that it only needs the header files to compile, not libraries. So, you could compile it on 8, even though it would not support xrender on 8. but it woudl automatically work right with later versions of solaris. (something like that, anyways). HOWEVER; our new xrender package, provides actual libs, which tie into the "new" X11. So, I think your choices are basically either A) grab the "old" headers and keep em around, and compile the old way or B) make xterm depend fully on our new, modern X11 libs from now on. But I'll let our new X11 lib maintainers chime in now. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
