AIX build problems

[Perry Smith]

Hi,

I guess, first, is this the right place for help with build  
problems?  If not, can you please point me to a more appropriate  
mailing list.

I'm trying to build X11R6.8.2 on AIX 5.3 using IBM's compiler.  The  
make dies in lib/fontconfig because SOFONTCONFIGREV is not set.   
There is a line in the Makefile that uses it to create shell  
variables for MAJ, MIN, and TEEN.  The command in the Makefile errors  
off because a call to expr has only a + and no other arguments.

I did not see any readme files or anything about how to build it on  
aix so I basically just unpacked the tar ball and said make.

Thank you for helping
Perry
