Software Porting For HP-UX 10.20

[Charles Harris]

Dear all,

I have a linux app written in C++ for providing flexible fontserver service to Xvfb. I have managed to get Xvfb running okay on HP-UX but not Xfstt. I have obtained the ported GNU C compiler from Linux, and was hoping there would be some blindingly easy way of re-compiling the original source. (although I know the odds of this working are nill). My question is, how do I go about porting this code, and or is there anyone out there that has done this already?!

-Longshot I know, you can but try.

Comments / tips always welcomed!!!

Cheers,

Charles .... I'll look into Xfstt and see what i can find :

fyi :

June Xserver patch now features Xvfb support

The following documentation is extracted from the Xserver release notes,
/usr/lib/X11/Xserver/info/screens/hp.

# ServerMode
# This server option places the X server in either "XPrint",
# "XVideo", or "XVfb" (Virtual Frame Buffer) mode; "XVideo" is the
# default behavior. X Print is an X extension supporting management
# of networked printers. Virtual Frame Buffer mode runs a server
# which requires no display hardware or physical input devices;
# it emulates a dumb framebuffer by using virtual memory.
# Use of the "XPrint" or "XVfb" modes disables the normal video
# output mode of the X server. It is necessary to start two
# X servers to have one of those functionalities together with
# video output. To do this run each invocation with a different
# display identifier. You may run 3 separate servers if all 3
# functionalities are desired.
#
# A server running in XVfb mode recognizes additional
# command-line arguments; see the man page for Xserver(1).

out of interest have you tried using any of the xfstt depots listed say at :

I take these don't work or compile either under hpux ?

Alex,

I haven't tried that particular version, are there any similarities between FreeBSD and HP-UX? It's the compiling bit I'd need help on too, it's been a very long time since I last looked at real code! ( Uni Days ..sigh.. )

The link seems to be down at the mo, I'll try and grab it later! (either that or the work proxy is having a fit because their is a X in the download name!)

Thanks again,
