Re: Imlib requires shared memory extension for compile

On 18 Aug, Ian Wells shouted:
->  I'm sure this serves me right for compiling on a new platform... The
->  system I'm using (DG/UX) has no shared memory X extension libraries or
->  clients.  Since this is an X extension rather than a core X feature,

X11R6 has it as a core extension - ie it's standard on X11R6.
extensions are theonly way to extend the x protocol and mit-shm has
infact been "standard" for many years now. Commercial vendors are VERY
SLOW to catch up.

->  and since the machine has no X display of its own in any case, I'm not

install X11R6. If you can't -= complain to DIGITAL (compaq) thats why
you pay for a commercial UNIx - so you can bitch to them when it's ont
up to par.

->  Since I know imlib will work without using shared memory I know it

it needs it to compile and link. all shm checks are done runtime incase
of being on a network. if you don't have mit-shm for your X-server you
shoudl install X11R6.
