extra release notes for ivtools-0.7

CHANGES   README   INSTALL

Dec. 2, 1998: line 33 of ivtools-0.7/src/utils/Imakefile should use $(CCDRIVER) instead of $(CDRIVER), since ivdl.c is C++ code. Some versions of gcc seem able to auto-detect C++ code by themselves, some versions could have handled it with a -xc++ argument, but this makes it work for all of them.

Nov. 20, 1998: Section 2.b of the INSTALL should read as follows:

2.b. Compile it with a "make World" command. It needs the following
variable definitions:

  XCONFIGDIR  The location of your X11 config files.
  PWD         If you're using a shell without this pre-defined
              (i.e. Solaris)

Sample Linux command line:
         make World XCONFIGDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
Sample SunOS command line:
         make World XCONFIGDIR=/usr/local/lib/X11/config
Sample Solaris command line:
         make World XCONFIGDIR=/usr/X/lib/X11/config PWD=`pwd`
Sample Irix command line:
         make World XCONFIGDIR=/usr/lib/X11/config


This command generates Makefiles hierarchically and builds everything.

In the tar file this section does not refer to the need to supply XCONFIGDIR argument on the "make World" command line.

Nov. 18, 1998: For Solaris, you need to change line 124 of ivtools-0.7/config/site.def.SUN4 to be a #ifdef instead of a #ifndef
