I tried removing the use of cpp as a "text only" processor every where I could. I had a prototype of what startx would look like. One has to watch for built-in compiler defines auch as __APPLE__ and replaced them with Automake variables such as $host_os assuming the semantic is the same. See attachment. On a side note, the following lines should be removed as they are left over from ancient A/UX 3.0 support. <blockquote><tt>#ifdef macII</tt><tt> </tt><tt>Xrepair</tt><tt> </tt><tt>screenrestore</tt><tt> </tt><tt>#endif</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt></blockquote> </body> </html>
