[9fans] once more: drawterm osx-x11 on x86-64

[Mark van Atten <vanattenmark@gmail.com>]

A while ago, I reported on a problem I had with flicker and broken window edges
in drawterm-cocoa CONF=osx-x11. See the email copied below. It led to a brief
exchange.

With my present configuration, that problem remains:
OSX 10.9.5
drawterm-cocoa 2014-12-02

However, I just tried rsc's drawterm 2013-07-02,
and there the problem is absent.

I take it there are not many users of drawterm on OSX,
either jas' or rsc's distribution, who
use the x11 version -- are there? I'd be interested
to compare notes.

Best wishes,
Mark.

For the record---to compile drawterm
(http://code.google.com/p/drawterm/) with CONF=osx-x11 on x86_64 (in
my case running 10.8.5), just add the required substitution to the
makefile:

Make.osx-x11

20 - arch=`uname -m|sed 's/i.86/386/;s/Power Macintosh/power/'`; \
20 + arch=`uname -m|sed 's/i.86/386/;s/Power
Macintosh/power/;s/x86_64/amd64/'`; \

For the moment, I prefer this to drawterm-cocoa because there is no
flicker, and window borders remain intact when reshaping with B1 or
B2.

Mark.
