- BUILDING A SAMPLE DEMO
-
- After your installation is complete and you have configured your system
- for the compiler and model you are going to use, building a demo is
- easy. Start up DESQview/X, open a DOS window and follow the examples.
-
- Example 1: Motif Periodic Table of Widgets
-
- Change directories to \<DVXDIR>\demos\periodic
- ( \<DVXDIR> is usually \dvx ) and type qmake at the DOS prompt.
-
- The periodic program will compile and link, the Motif periodic.uid
- file will be generated by the Motif Uil compiler (the Uil compiler
- uil.exe will only run under DESQview/X). Then you can
-
- type periodic at the DOS prompt.
-
- Within a few seconds the program should come up.
-
- The periodic program displays the Motif Periodic Table of Widgets. It
- uses many of the widgets available in the Motif toolkit. It also can
- be used to demonstrate the new Motif 1.2.x features such as tear off
- menus and drag and drop. Amaze your friends.
-
- Example 2: X Calculator
-
- Change directories to \<DVXDIR>\clients\xcalc and
- type qmake at the DOS prompt.
-
- The Xcalc program will compile and link. When complete
- type xcalc at the DOS prompt.
-
- Within a few seconds the program should come up. The xcalc calculator
- program will be displayed. Iconify it, you should see the bitmap "calculat"
- icon. If the Xcalc buttons look correct and you can see the calculator
- bitmap icon, then your installation is correct.
-
- If the Xcalc program crashes upon startup it could be because you
- did not install the toolkit in the same directory as DESQview/X. There
- is a bitmap called "calculat" which needs to be in \<DVXDIR>\include\x11\bitmaps
- in order for it to run properly. You need to put bitmaps for all of
- your applications in that directory.
-
- If the Xcalc program comes up but looks like a bunch of little superimposed
- boxes then the xcalc.res resource file is not being read. It should
- have been put in the \<DVXDIR>\app-defa directory. If it is there,
- but it isn't being read, check your HOME environment variable and
- unset it by doing c:set home=<CR>.
-
- Run xcalc again.
-
- If these programs do not compile, link and run properly then your
- installation or configuration is not correct. Refer to Appendix A
- Trouble Shooting.
