Descr: System for building and using interactive software.
Predecessor of Fresco.
This is an attempt at porting InterViews to NetBSD/Amiga. Unfortunately,
I don't have too much experience with gcc/g++, so I tried building a
shared library _without_ "-fpic" (generates position independant code).
I was told later that this option is mandatory. Oh well.. Fact is, that
the libraries generated without -fpic work as expected, whereas programs
using a "-fpic" library usually dump core sooner or later. So, that's why
the libraries you find here were compiled _without_ -fpic. Go and give them
a try. I hope things work as expected, they sure do on my system (at least
with all the example programs I could find).
To compile examples, cd into their top level directory and run "ivmkmf",
followed by "make Makefiles". Running "make" should hopefully build
all of them:-) According to Huberts "install.sh" you need nevertheless
a $LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/local/lib. I recommend creating a link from
/usr/local/X11R6/lib/<iv-libs> to /usr/local/interviews-3.1/libs/<iv-libs>.
Usually, a $LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/local/interviews-3.1 should do though.
Just make sure "ivmkmf" is found along your $PATH:
If someone finds a better solution to the fpic-problem, please mail it
to me, thanks.
