WCharT is mentioned in Line 700f and there is a Test in Line 3791:

  if CSizeofWCharT <> PSizeofTWCharT then
    begin
        WriteLn (StdErr, '(T)WCharT size mismatch!');
        Halt
    end;

Could you please insert a line just before `halt' like this:
  WriteLn (StdErr, 'WCharT: ', CSizeofWCharT, ' TWCharT: ', PSizeofTWCharT);

Background:
I assume, that WCharT is as big as a `MedInt' (Line 700f) what
is correct for Debian GNU/Linux on Intel architecture. Different
architectures may have different wide Character implementations
(sounds silly, I know).

If you can find out (by the given extra line above), how big a
WideCharacter on your system is, you could change the type
definition by yourself, and mail me your results.

As this is the first test, there may be lots of other test
failing. If every size test fails you may have a broken
XLib installation (or me...) :-(

Did you try to run the test program (xtest.pas)?

So please try out the above line, report your architecture
and your XLib Version (on top of Xlib.h) and the result of
your test.
