- Which version of 'libxview.a' is more reliable:
-
- 1) The version which Sun ships as part of OpenWindows 3.0
-
- 2) The version which can be built from sources and patches
- available under:
-
- export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xview3
-
- Building programs like 'olvwm' and 'xdtm' with the 'libxview.a' sources
- from 'export' certainly has advantages since I can debug problems
- myself. However, I am more interested in which version will give me
- the least amount of trouble.
-
- I have no control (or idea) how OpenWindows is obtained or maintained
- at my site. So if Sun has sent out revisions on OpenWindows, I have no
- idea if they have been installed at my site. (Hmm... Maybe for that
- reason alone I should use the 'export' sources).
-
- Thanks.
