Re: UnixWare 7 build notes

   1. I think the a newer version of autoconf needs to be used?  In
   particular:

   a. My system type wasn't listed in config.guess

Oh yeah, should upgrade to current config.guess...

   3. The install tries to chown all files to user "games".  You can't
   assume this user exists.  In my case, I changed this to "bin"

I suppose an autoconf test could be written for this - the autoconf
maintainer happens to work for Cygnus (how convenient), I'll bug him.

   4. I had to use the following line to link the tcl/tk game properly:

   TCL_TK_LIB=-ltcl8.0 -ltk8.0 -ldl -lm -lX11 -lXmu -lsocket

Yeah, this is a big hole - it should be searching for the libs.

   5. "make install" tried to copy various files from lib-x11.  The only
   files I saw in there were the README and the CVS dir.  What did I miss?

That's supposed to be a holder for bitmaps that haven't been converted
into .imf format.  I bet no one has ever used it though.

   6. The gif image files didn't get installed - I had to do this manually.
   Perhaps this is related to #5?

No, it's just that nobody has gotten as far as making installation work.

   7. The makefiles depend on  GNU make extensions.  This should be noted
   if it isn't already.

Really?  What extensions?

   2. In some cases, switching screens and switching back while the gam is
   running results in a blank map.  witching screens again brings it back.

I've seen this too, but don't yet know what causes it...

   2. Pressing q for quit doesn't quit the game - that's a bit
   inconsistent.

The original theory was that one might type 'q' by accident, but not 'Q'.
Probably doesn't matter, because you always get queried anyway.

   The game seems to be much improved.  Excellent work!

Thanks!
