   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
  17   environment. In particular, change WXDIR to where wxWindows is
  18   found on your system.
  19   Later, there will be a better makefile system
  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.
  45
  46 - Debugging mode is switched on by default. To compile in non-debug
  47   mode, remove the -D__WXDEBUG__ switch in make.env.
  48
  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 - If you run into problems with a missing X11/Xpm.h header, you
  55   need to install the XPM package. It can be obtained from:
  56
  57   ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4k.tar.gz
  58
  59   Alternatively, edit include/motif/setup.h, set wxUSE_XPM
  60   to 0, and recompile. You will not be able to load any XPMs,
  61   though (currently the only supported colour bitmap format).
  62
  63 - Please send bug reports with a description of your environment,
  64   compiler and the error message(s) to the wxwin-users mailing list at:
  65
  66     wxwin-users@wx.dent.med.uni-muenchen.de
