Extension_by:   Roberto A. Foglietta
Comments:       Xxdiff has reached stable state, and is known
to run on many popular unices, including IRIX,
Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, DEC Tru64. It has been
deployed inside many large organizations and
is being actively maintained by its author.
Features:
    * Comparing two files, three files, or two
      directories (shallow and recursive);
    * Horizontal diffs highlighting;
    * Files can be merged interactively and
      resulting output visualized and saved;
    * Has features to assist in performing merge
      reviews/policing;
    * Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically
      merged file and display them as two files,
      to help resolve conflicts;
    * Uses external diff program to compute differences:
      works with GNU diff, SGI diff and ClearCase's cleardiff,
      and any other diff whose output is similar to those;
    * Fully customizable with a resource file;
    * Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff,
      it is desktop agnostic (i.e. will work equally well
      with KDE or Gnome);
    * Features and output that ease integration with scripts.

Hmm, Xfixes is in Xlibs_support.tczl which is a dep of xxdiff.  Let me also try and see.

I made a typo when updating the Xlibs_support.{tcel,tczl} extension.  I will fix it and xxdiff should work.

Xlibs_support fixed in 2.x, but there is an xxdiff error that takes the place of the missing lib:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ xxdiff
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'XxUsageError'
Aborted
tc@box:~$


This is on TC 2.x, have not tested on 1.x.
