You may want to have a looksee there if > you're working on Motif too. :) Seems, that nobody made a port upto now :-) So, here are my experiences with openmotif. There is a problem with motif's own version of imake. You can copy imakemdep.h from xfree's imake or just use XFree's imake itself. Copy/link Imake.tmpl, Motif.rules and Motif.tmpl (from config/cf) to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config for that. And now it gets tricky. lib/Xm/TextF.c needs some wide-charachter functions, that are not present in our libc. You can find a lib with these functions here: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/wcs-19990606.tar.gz I got the needed functions and just copied into the motif- sourcefile. Ah. For shared libs. You need to make the symlinks from libXX.so.a.b to libXX.so manually, if you don't do it, the linker will take the static libs. Well, thats an evil hack, but it gets you started until someone with more time and knowledge makes a "good" port :-) Enjoy. -- Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
