I have found that most of the X11 contrib ported with only minor modification
to Linux. However some people have mentioned that they were having problems.
Here is a list of X11 programs that I have ported to Linux so far. If people
are interested in any of the below mail me and I will make them availible for
FTP.
My system is currently Linux v0.97-pl4, GCC2 with 4.1 Jump Tables, and the
latest version of the X-free beta server.
xload - Load meter for linux 0.97pl4
xcal 3.3 - A calendar progmram.
xlock 23.21.2 - Screen Locking program (I did not actually port this one).
xpool - A pool game.
golddig2 - An arcade game (Still has some bugs).
xwanderer - Wanderer for X (Still has some bugs).
xasteroids - Asteroids game.
xdf - Binary editor.
xhextris - Tetris like game for X.
xinvaders - Space invaders game.
xmris - Mr Do like arcade game.
xroach - Cockroaches hide under your windows
(I didnt port this one either)
seahaven towers - A solitarie game in C++. (Does anyone know the rules?)
Has someone tried to port Xtank? Xtrek?
Most of the above only required modifications to one or two lines, or failed
to compile because of really bad coding by the authors. It is a real tribute
to Linus, the X11 guys and the GCC guys that most apps just require
"xmkmf ; make" to compile! Well done!
If anyone would like any particular applications ported, mail me and I will
see what I can do.
Anyone interested in a port of Dirt? I am not sure what would be involved but
might be willing to give it a try.
(Dirt stands for Design In Real Time and is an application builder for X)
Enjoy
