- I'm a novice at X programming, so I hope I'm not asking a FAQ, but I did
- look over the comp.windows.x* FAQs that seemed applicable and I haven't
- found an answer, so here goes.
-
- My Question :
-
- Is it possible to compile and run X11 programs with Athena widgets using
- the X libraries provided with Sun's OpenWindows 3?
-
- Background (why I want to do this) :
-
- I want to install some X11 software on a sparc IPC lab that I haven't got
- root access to. This lab is currently running OpenWindows 2, and should
- be running OpenWindows 3 by the time I want to install this software (I
- will be installing it in my home directory, which is readable to a group
- of users). The lab is NOT running the MIT X11 distribution.
-
- The software is a library of routines that use basic X11 stuff - Athena
- widgets. It compiles and runs fine under MIT X11R5 (which we have here
- on our system). I assumed that since OpenWindows 3 includes the X11R4
- core distribution, and appears to have the relevant libraries, that I
- could recompile the library using the X11 include files provided with
- OpenWindows 3, and then users on the sparc lab could include the routines
- from the library, compile with the OpenWindows versions of the X11
- libraries, and go. I'm attempting to test out this theory on our system
- (which has OpenWindows 3 installed in /usr/local/openwindows) and I'm
- having no luck at all.
-
- My Problems So Far :
-
- First off, I ran into problems with Undefined symbols
-
- gcc -o XGraph main.o src/XGraph.a -L/usr/local/openwin/lib -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lm
- ld: Undefined symbol
- _get_wmShellWidgetClass
- _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
-
- We managed to fudge that away by noticing that these symbols are defined in
- libXmu*, so figuring that that was the problem we tried a different libXmu,
-
- gcc -o XGraph main.o src/XGraph.a -t -L/usr/local/openwin/lib -lXaw /usr/local/openwin/lib/libXmu.a -lXt -lX11 -lXext -lm
-
- This compiles, but the executable segmentation faults in a library routine :
-
- % dbx XGraph
- Reading symbolic information...
- Read 2469 symbols
- (dbx) run
- Running: XGraph
- signal SEGV (no mapping at the fault address) in GetnormalGC at 0xf7775d50
- GetnormalGC+0x20: ld [%o0 + 4], %o0
- (dbx) where
- GetnormalGC() at 0xf7775d50
- `Label`Initialize() at 0xf7775e44
- CallInitialize() at 0xf772566c
- _XtCreate() at 0xf77259b0
- _XtCreateWidget() at 0xf7725cc4
- XtCreateWidget() at 0xf7725d54
- XtCreateManagedWidget() at 0xf7725d78
- InitGraphics(), line 324 in "init.c"
- main(), line 23 in "main.c"
-
- Is there any point in pursuing this? Has anyone managed to compile
- and run X11 programs with Athena widgets using the libraries provided
- with OpenWindows 3? Or should I cut my losses now and work on getting
- MIT X11R5 installed in my home directory on the sparc lab?
-
- Please reply to me, I will post a summary if there is interest
-
- thanks
