Re: back problem on Solaris

[Andreas Höschler]

Hello all,

I just got a response from a Sun engineer telling me that  
Xutf8LookupString is an addition XFree86 made to libX11 which is not yet
in the Solaris libX11. My app ran on Solaris 9 with a GNUstep source  
tree that is a few month old. I am not aware of having installed  
anything differently (additional libraries), but I might be wrong here.  
Has anything been added to GNUstep recently that makes use of  
Xutf8LookupString and thus causes the problem on Solaris? I currently  
have no access to the machine so I can't check whether the old GNUstep  
source tree works on the Solaris 10 machine (will do so first thing on  
monday), I doubt that. The only reference to Xutf8LookupString is in  
./back/Source/x11/XIMInputServer.m.

#ifdef HAVE_UTF8
      if (encoding == NSUTF8StringEncoding)
        count = Xutf8LookupString(windev->ic, event, buf, BUF_LEN,
                                  &keysym, &status);
      else
#endif

May be HAVE_UTF8 was not defined on Solaris 9 but is now on Solaris 10.  
Anybody already through this?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

  Andreas
