What is the Xw widget set equivalent on X11R6?

Post by Kerry Hans » Tue, 23 Jul 1996 04:00:00



I'm trying to compile some software packages on Linux that need an Xw
widget library.  I've searched the usual places and Xw seems to be
available only on X11R5 and previous versions of the X system and
only available for Sun or HP machines.  I can't find a version with a
Linux makefile or a version for X11R6 generally.  I have the feeling
I'm missing something obvious.

What is the X11R6 equivalent of the Xw widget set, or, is there a
version available for Linux that I can use?  

Thanks.

Xw is the old HP widget set.  They dumped this years ago and switched
to Motif.  You might be able to find some version of Xw on ftp.x.org,
but it probably won't compile on X11R6.  You'd be wise to port to a
currently supported widget set.

1. widget set for X on linux: Xw available?

I need to get a widget set going on my linux box.

I know the X sources include Athena widgets, but I can't find documentation
on their use.

I use the HP widgets, Xw on a sun system, but I am having trouble compiling
and debugging them on the linux machine.  (Short summary: the gcc compiler
chokes on the "NeedFunctionPrototypes" define in the X header files, e.g.
in XtIntrinsics.h.  By setting #define NeedFunctionPrototypes 0 in all such
files, I got the Xw widgets to compile, but any program that uses two or
more crashes with a SEGV error that occurs in the CreateManagedWidget call.)
