1 | wxWindows 2.0 for Motif installation |
| 2 | ------------------------------------ | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | - Prerequisites: Motif 1.2 or above, or | |
| 5 | Lesstif (not yet tested). | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - Download the files wx200gen.zip and wx200mot.zip, and | |
| 8 | documentation in a preferred format, such as wx200htm.zip | |
| 9 | or wx200pdf.zip. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | - Make a directory such as ~/wx and unzip the files into this | |
| 12 | directory. Use the -a option if available to convert the ASCII | |
| 13 | files to Unix format. Don't worry about files being | |
| 14 | overwritten: they should be identical anyway. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | - Edit src/make.env to change options according to your local | |
| ea57084d JS |
17 | environment. In particular, change WXDIR to where wxWindows is |
| 18 | found on your system. | |
| 19 | Later, there will be a better makefile system | |
| 5de9c45c JS |
20 | and/or alternate make.env files as per wxWindows 1.68. |
| 21 | Please feel free to contribute settings files for your environment. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | - Change directory to src/motif and type: | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | make -f makefile.unx motif | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | This should make the library libwx_motif.a in the lib | |
| 28 | directory. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | - Make a sample, such as the minimal sample: | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | cd samples/minimal | |
| 33 | make -f makefile.unx motif | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | and run the resulting minimal_motif binary. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Notes: | |
| 38 | ------ | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | - Better installation and makefile systems are | |
| 41 | required. I didn't use the wxGTK system because I couldn't | |
| 42 | understand it or make it work with wxMotif. Also I think | |
| 43 | we should use something that can be made to work easily | |
| 44 | with applications outside the wxWindows hierarchy. | |

46 | - Debugging mode is switched on by default. To compile in non-debug |
| 47 | mode, remove the -D__WXDEBUG__ switch in make.env. | |
| 48 | ||
| 5de9c45c JS |
49 | - Some classes can be switched off in include/wx/motif/setup.h, |
| 50 | if you are having trouble with a particular file. However, | |
| 51 | I'd prefer you to fix the problem and send the fix to me :-) or at | |
| 52 | least let me know about it. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | - Please send bug reports with a description of your environment, | |
| ea57084d | 55 | compiler and the error message(s) to the wxwin-users mailing list at: |
| 5de9c45c | 56 | |
