wxWindows 2.0 for Motif installation
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Prerequisites: Motif 1.2 or above, or
|
|
|
|
|
Lesstif (not yet tested).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Download the files wx200gen.zip and wx200mot.zip, and
|
|
|
|
|
documentation in a preferred format, such as wx200htm.zip
|
|
|
|
|
or wx200pdf.zip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make a directory such as ~/wx and unzip the files into this
|
|
|
|
|
directory. Use the -a option if available to convert the ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
files to Unix format. Don't worry about files being
|
|
|
|
|
overwritten: they should be identical anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Edit src/make.env to change options according to your local
|
1998-11-09 06:57:05 -05:00
|
|
|
environment. In particular, change WXDIR to where wxWindows is
|
|
|
|
|
found on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
Later, there will be a better makefile system
|
1998-11-04 17:17:19 -05:00
|
|
|
and/or alternate make.env files as per wxWindows 1.68.
|
|
|
|
|
Please feel free to contribute settings files for your environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Change directory to src/motif and type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make -f makefile.unx motif
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This should make the library libwx_motif.a in the lib
|
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Make a sample, such as the minimal sample:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd samples/minimal
|
|
|
|
|
make -f makefile.unx motif
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and run the resulting minimal_motif binary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Better installation and makefile systems are
|
|
|
|
|
required. I didn't use the wxGTK system because I couldn't
|
|
|
|
|
understand it or make it work with wxMotif. Also I think
|
|
|
|
|
we should use something that can be made to work easily
|
|
|
|
|
with applications outside the wxWindows hierarchy.
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Debugging mode is switched on by default. To compile in non-debug
|
|
|
|
|
mode, remove the -D__WXDEBUG__ switch in make.env.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-11-04 17:17:19 -05:00
|
|
|
- Some classes can be switched off in include/wx/motif/setup.h,
|
|
|
|
|
if you are having trouble with a particular file. However,
|
|
|
|
|
I'd prefer you to fix the problem and send the fix to me :-) or at
|
|
|
|
|
least let me know about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- If you run into problems with a missing X11/Xpm.h header, you
|
|
|
|
|
need to install the XPM package. It can be obtained from:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4k.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, edit include/motif/setup.h, set wxUSE_XPM
|
|
|
|
|
to 0, and recompile. You will not be able to load any XPMs,
|
|
|
|
|
though (currently the only supported colour bitmap format).
