[FreeNX-kNX] Compiling NX1.5.0 on amd64

[Xiong Jiang]

OK, finally managed to build the stuff.

at lib/X11/XlcDL.c:64, I made it like:

#ifdef _LP64
# if defined(__sparcv9)
# define _MACH64_NAME "sparcv9"
# elif defined(__ia64__)
# undef MACH64_NAME
# else
# undef MACH64_NAME
/*# error "Unknown architecture"
*/
# endif /* defined(__sparcv9) */
# ifdef _MACH64_NAME
# define _MACH64_NAME_LEN (sizeof (_MACH64_NAME) - 1)
# endif
#endif /* _LP64 */

I am not sure if it really matters. Just to make it compile.

Now after nxcomp and nxcompext are built, you should be able to 'make World'
under nx-X11. The directory names are hardcoded in makefile so you should
not rename the directories unpacked from .tar.gz tarballs.

Three libs are replaced by NX: libX11, libXext, libXrender.
I changed in Makefile to use LIBNAME=X11-nx and Xext-nx, Xrender-nx for
them. so that it's easier to distinguish it from the libX11 installed. I
don't know much about the Imakefile system so I changed the Makefile and
build again. Some other makefiles are modified accordingly as they will link
with the libX11-nx, libXext-nx, libXrender-nx we just built.

Again, I haven't found out how to change the Imake config files to do this
easily. If you know the trick, please share with us.

nxagent will be built when 'make' under nx-X11/programs. A problem here
again:
lib/freetype2 and fontconfig is not built as shared lib, but nxagent needs
to link to it. Maybe I did something wrong here again by changing it to
build a shared lib. But Imake gurus please point me to the right way.

nxagent/Makefile also got problem that it cannot find the libX11-nx,
libXext-nx, libXrender-nx.

See, a deb source package will save me all the hassle of tampering with
Makefile.
However nx-X11 is not in svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-nx yet.
I am write from my short memory in late night, my words here is so vague. I
need to redo this and find the right answer.

OK here is the story of compiling. It still doesn't work though.

See my next email about the bugs I hit.
