- I've recently changed my system from running SunOS 4.1.2 and OpenWindows
- 2.0 to Solaris 2.0 and OpenWindows 3.1. Everything works fine except
- for one remaining problem.
-
- Every time I execute a particular utility or refresh its window, I
- get the following warning:
-
- ttysw_sigwinch, can't get tty process group: Inappropriate ioctl for device
-
- I've traced this to the following xv_create:
-
-
- obj = xv_create(owner, TERMSW,
- XV_KEY_DATA, INSTANCE, ip,
- XV_X, 0,
- XV_Y, 148,
- XV_WIDTH, WIN_EXTEND_TO_EDGE,
- XV_HEIGHT, 288,
- OPENWIN_SHOW_BORDERS, TRUE,
- TEXTSW_BROWSING, TRUE,
- TEXTSW_DISABLE_LOAD, TRUE,
- TTY_ARGV, TTY_ARGV_DO_NOT_FORK,
- NULL);
-
-
- The exact line causing the problem is:
-
- TTY_ARGV, TTY_ARGV_DO_NOT_FORK,
-
- I don't get the warning message if I leave out this line, but then
- my command prompt appears in the window - which is even more of
- a problem then getting the warning.
-
- The program does exactly what I want it to do, I just get that
- annoying warning message. This worked fine under OpenWindows 2.0.
- The only mention I can find on TERMSW in O'Reilly and Associates
- XView Programming Manual is the following paragraph:
-
- This book has never discussed the term subwindow. Basically,
- it is a tty subwindow that can be edited like a text subwindow.
- It may also contain a scrollbar. xv_termsw.c shows you how
- to create a term subwindow.
-
- A sample program then follows.
-
- Is there anything I can do to not get this warning message displayed?
-
- I also tried specifying TTYSW for the window type, and I believe
- everything worked fine - except I no longer had a scroll bar and
- I had to change all my '\n's to '\n\r's. A scroll bar is really
- required for the application.
-
- Any suggestions?
