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 environment. 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. 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. - 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. - Please send bug reports with a description of your environment, compiler and the error message(s) to: julian.smart@ukonline.co.uk or the wxwin-developers mailing list at: wxwin-developers@wx.dent.med.uni-muenchen.de Julian Smart, November 1998.
