wxWindows 2.0 for Motif installation
------------------------------------
-- Prerequisites: Motif 1.2 or above, or
- Lesstif (not yet tested).
+- 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
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
------
- 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.
+ 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.
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,
