|
||||
|
||||
Disclaimer: alphas under my command have never run X and are least likely to
|
||||
suddenly start running it anytime soon.
|
||||
|
||||
Alpha used to have some ridiculously low amount of shared memory
|
||||
configured.
|
||||
So quite a lot of apps used to barf. Namely - cdrecord, mysql server, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Check where is yours at the moment and raise it to a more appropriate
|
||||
value by either catting to the appropriate /proc entry or changing the
|
||||
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise the shared memory on alpha should be fully functional and I
|
||||
see no reason to disable it. Mine are bumped up to 32 or more on most
|
||||
machines.
|
||||
|
||||
And If I recall correctly the comments in that file are actually
|
||||
wrong. Value is not bytes, but in machine size word. For alpha *8.
|
||||
|
||||
As I said - I do not run X on them so all #include "stdisclaimer.h"
|
||||
apply.

||||
#<<<<<<<<<<<<
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- SCO Unix - run configure like
|
||||
CFLAGS="-belf -DANSICPP" ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
- SunOS, Solaris
|
||||
If you have gcc installed, run configure as:
|
||||
CPP_PATH="gcc -E -x c" ./configure
|
||||
Sun's cpp lacks some features needed by Window Maker and it can
|
||||
cause problems when parsing the config files.
|
||||
You also might need to use the --with-libs-from and --with-incs-from
|
||||
to supply the directory where libtiff is located.
|
||||
Someone mailed me that you also must make /usr/local/lib be the
|
||||
first path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make it work.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a Ultra Creator 3D or some other machine with high-end
|
||||
graphics, be sure to start the X server with the default visual
|
||||
set to 24bpp or you might experience problems with mangled colors.
|
||||
This is a wmaker bug and will be fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
- GNU/Linux in general
|
||||
Make sure you have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and that you
|
||||
run ldconfig after installing.
