wxWindows 2.0 for Motif installation
------------------------------------
- Prerequisites: Motif 1.2 or above, or Lesstif
(not yet tested). Motif 2.0 and above may also be suitable.
- 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.
COMPILING USING CONFIGURE
- You can use the wxGTK configure system to make wxMotif, or
you can follow the following steps to use the simpler (but
less automatic) makefile system. If using configure, the
following script should make the library and samples, when
run from the top-level wxWindows directory (see also 'makewx'
in this directory):
# Make wxMotif using the configure system
chmod a+x install/unix/config.sub
install/unix/setup/general/* \
install/unix/config.guess install/unix/setup/shared/*
cd install/unix
autoconf && ./configure --with-shared --with-motif --with-debug_flag \
--with-debug_info --without-threads
cd ../..
make makefiles
make
COMPILING USING MAKEFILES
- Choose a .env file from src/makeenvs that matches your
environment, and copy it to src/make.env. These are the
settings read by wxWindows for Motif makefiles.
- Edit src/make.env to change options according to your local
environment. In particular, change WXDIR to where wxWindows is
found on your system, or set the WXWIN environment variable
before compilation, e.g.:
export WXWIN=/home/jacs/wx2
Later, there will be a better makefile system
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. Although the wxGTK config system can be used to make
wxMotif and samples, it can't easily be made to work
with applications outside the wxWindows hierarchy. Hence the
simple makefile system.
- Debugging mode is switched on by default. To compile in non-debug
mode, remove the -D__WXDEBUG__ switch in make.env.
- 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
http://sunfreeware.com
You may need to modify make.env to add -I and -L options pointing to where Xpm
is installed and possibly change bitmap.cpp to
include <xpm.h> instead of <X11/xpm.h>
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).
- Please send bug reports with a description of your environment,
compiler and the error message(s) to the wxwin-users mailing list at:
wxwin-users@wx.dent.med.uni-muenchen.de
