by Hi all,
Yet another desperate plea for help.....
I got the xview3 sources off of export.lcs.mit.edu, naively expecting
them to compile ok on my machine (0.98pl1 from SLS, Xfree86). After
several days of sweat, I have managed to get libolgx compiled ok
(although I don't think it is a shared lib), and to test it I compiled
olwm. It works no problem. The problem is with libxview.
Firstly, almost every directory in the <XVIEW>/lib/libxview tree
had some files that needed tweaking, mostly adding #define NULL and
the like. Now I have all the subdirectories compiled except
<libxview>/menu, <libxview>/notify, <libxview>/textsw, <libxview>/ttysw.
There were several problems with the source in libxview, but these
subdirs I cannot fix. They are mostly problems with dereferencing
pointers to incomplete types, and problems with system specific
headers (i.e. FILE type does not have _flag as part of it's structure).
PLEASE....Does anybody have this xview toolkit working on jump4.1 and
Xfree86? If so please send me either -- libxview.a and libolgx.a
(I already have the source, so no headers are necessary), or the
diffs for the source from export (or anywhere else). I have space to
compile, but have exausted my skill in porting this sucker!
Any help greatly appreciated.....
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
