libX11.so.2.
The X Toolkit Library, libXt, is
supplied as a static archive
libXt.a
in the IRIX Reference Platform ABI Build
environment. Due to inadequacies of the available test tools, it is
not feasible to ensure that each vendor's implementation of libXt as
a DSO is functionally equivalent.
Also supplied as a static archive in the ABI build environment is
the OSF/Motif library,
libXm.a,
[
constructed from the OSF/Motif Release 1.2.3 baseline.
]
In the future, these libraries may become DSOs if adequate tests can
be developed to ensure compatibility.
The ABI does not require that the system support an X Server, allowing for the possibility of server systems without local graphics capabilities.
[
The Window System is an optional component in the generic ABI.
This chapter alters the concept so that libraries are manadatory
and only the server is optional for conforming systems.
