HOWEVER, if you run a stock pre7 Sun binary (e.g. the ones we
distribute) on a Solaris system, you will not see the effect of the
fixes, since the stock Sun binaries are naturally not compiled with
SVR4 defined and therefore the fixes don't have any effect.
So, a few questions and comments...
(a) Can someone try compiling pre7 under Solaris and let us know if
it's working OK?
(b) Is Sun shipping Motif with Solaris yet? (I guess 2.2 is the
latest that's out there...) If not, when's it going to start?
(c) Any suggestions on how we should handle this for the 2.0 release
next week? We don't have a spare Sun to run Solaris on and have
no desire whatsoever to run Solaris on any of our in-use Suns (it
would be impossible).
Cheers,
Marc
