The Motif libraries shipped with LynxOS AT 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 can be used with the XFree86 libraries. Follow the steps outlined below after you have installed XFree86 and LynxOS Motif on your system.
You must create symbolic links for the Motif libraries and utilities in the /usr/X11R6 directory tree.
ln -s /usr/bin/X11/uil /usr/X11R6/bin
ln -s /usr/lib/libUil.a /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/libMrm.a /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s /usr/lib/X11/uid /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
ln -s /usr/include/Xm /usr/X11R6/include
ln -s /usr/include/Mrm /usr/X11R6/include
ln -s /usr/include/uil /usr/X11R6/include
The Motif imake-configuration files are part of the LynxOS X Window package. They must be copied to the /usr/X11R6 directory tree.
cp /usr/lib/X11/config/Motif.* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
The XFree86 libraries are compiled with the -mposix compiler option while the Motif libraries shipped with LynxOS AT 2.3.0 are not. This incompatibility will cause Motif XmFileSelection widgets to be linked with the wrong (i.e. POSIX) directory routines. To circumvent this problem apply the following patch to the library:
cp /usr/lib/libXm.a /usr/X11R6/lib
ar x /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a Xmos.o
ar x /lib/libc.a directory.s.o
ld -r -o x.o Xmos.o directory.s.o
mv x.o Xmos.o
ar r /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a Xmos.o
This patch is not necessary for LynxOS 2.4.0 since POSIX support is now the default for the CYGNUS compiler.
Edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/lynx.cf
and change the definition
of HasMotif
from
#define HasMotif NO
to
#define HasMotif YES
The file Motif.tmpl
shipped with LynxOS Motif must be modified
to work with XFree86. In every reference to UnsharedLibReferences
the first argument must be changed
from
UnsharedLibReferences(<Something>LIB, Arg2, Arg3)
to
UnsharedLibReferences(<Something>, Arg2, Arg3)
Be sure to apply the change to the file copied to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
.
