How about replacing > REQUIRES_MOTIF with MOTIF_REQUIREMENTS and use the values MOTIF and > LESSTIF. Then in the make.conf the users could define HAVE_MOTIF and/or > HAVE_LESSTIF as necessary. This would be useful not only to tag the (few and getting fewer) programs that work with Motif and not Lesstif, but also to note which version of Motif is required. There are programs that require at least Motif 1.2, 2.0, or 2.1 (and some that need 2.0 and not 2.1, thanks OSF). So how about some MOTIF_VERSION or somesuch. Lesstif can be version 0, not because it's "weaker", but simply to acknowlege that's Lesstif's version. - Jamie Gritton jamie@gritton.org gritton@lesstif.org (OK, so I'm biased).
