I've been trying today to get AfterStep compiled 64-bit (with gcc
3.2.2).
Itcompiled happily and linked against the 64-bit libs I had fed it
(such as libjpeg and libpng). My LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set up correctly. I
am getting a "Bus Error" (reported to the shell). gdb(1) reports this
actually as the dreaded SIGSEGV:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xffffffff7e85bbd8 in _XData32 () from /usr/lib/64/libX11.so.4
(gdb) bt
#0 0xffffffff7e85bbd8 in _XData32 () from /usr/lib/64/libX11.so.4
#1 0xffffffff7e82cad4 in XChangeProperty () from
/usr/lib/64/libX11.so.4
#2 0x0000000100032bc0 in set_gnome_proxy ()
#3 0x0000000100010750 in main ()
I notice there are two patches that fix this problem:
108376-42
108652-66
However, 108376-42 contains this note:
> (from 108376-33)
> 4499671 Bus Error in _XData32 when running a 64-bit application (back
> out the
> fix)
>
> (from 108376-32)
> 4499671 Bus Error in _XData32 when running a 64-bit application
and 108652-66 mentions:
> 4499671 Bus Error in _XData32 when running a 64-bit application
which is apparently rolled into the patch from revisions 43 and 44 of
the same patch.
However, when attempting to apply patch 108652, I get this:
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
108652-66 are not installed on this system.
I get the same error from 108376. Going over their manifest, I see:

All of these packages are installed on my machine (Solaris 9 12/02,
Ultra 30), and pkginfo shows me information for all of them. The files
on my machine ( /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4
/usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9/libX11.so.4 ) seem to be newer than the ones
included in the patch.
Should I just assume that this bug is still outstanding (it has been
lurking since Solaris 7 it would seem), and wait for another patch? If
that is the case, is there somebody I can harass at Sun? For what it is
worth, this should be easily reproducible with the afterstep source and
gcc 3.2.2 with CC=gcc and CFLAGS="-m64 -mcpu=v9".
I am aware of SFWastep being available on the companion CD. However,
that afterstep, for whatever reason, is not compiled with xinerama
support (although it is enabled by default in the distribution, go
figure). A window manager that works but only on one screen isn't of
particular use to me.
I'll gladly summarize here. Thanks in advance.
