[GRASS5] Socket XDriver

Okay, I think I have everything in place for people to try the sockets
based XDRIVER. Run ./configure --with-socks to set it up.

Please post any problems.

Huidae, I'd especially like your feedback since you've done so much work
with the IPC set-up (thanks for making README.ipc so generic...). I
want to be sure I haven't missed anything important.

Files to look at include:
src/libes/raster/socket.new/io.c
src/display/devices/XDRIVER/XDRIVER24/socket.new/SWITCHER.c
src/display/d.mon/pgms/start.c
src/libes/gis/unix_socks.c

Hi Eric, Hi all,

What should i do to test sockets XDriver?
it's strange, i've never seen any similar bug report on sockets XDriver.

GRASS 5.0beta12 > d.mon start=x0
Usage: x0 [nlev]
No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.
,/usr/local/grass5/fonts/romans^CProblem selecting x0. Will try once more
No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.
,/usr/local/grass5/fonts/romans^C
Mapset <hdcho> in Location <loc1>
GRASS 5.0beta12 >

I have no clue. What about you?

And suggestions about configure option name:

  --with-fifo fifo XDriver
  --with-ipc ipc XDriver
  --with-socket socket XDriver (i think it's better)

Currently, option name is '--with-socks'. it's insonsistent.

Regards,
Huidae Cho

I think you need to clean d.mon sources and recompile (having run
./configure --with-socks). Sounds like the conditional compile did not
occur (start-up arguments have changed since SWITCHER still handles
nlev, but doesn't need FIFO arguments -- I didn't want to spend alot of
time figuring out if an argument should be interpreted as a FIFO name or
a number of color levels. I guess it wouldn't have been too hard...).

  --with-fifo fifo XDriver
  --with-ipc ipc XDriver
  --with-socket socket XDriver (i think it's better)

I have no opinion. "sock" is a common shorthand for socket. If you
think --with-socket is clearer, then changing it is fine with me.
