- Hi everyone,
-
- I have difficulties getting c++ compilers (CC, gcc, g++) to compile C++
- programs that contain X/Motif resources. Example:
-
- I have a C++ program that compiles and run correctly on a DECstation.
- After I add "#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>" (or any other X/Motif-related
- ones) to the source code, all of the above mentioned compilers will give
- me compilation errors pointing to "Xlib.h". There is no need to
- actually invoke a function call or use any X/Motif-defined type for
- erros to occur.
-
- There is no problem running C++ program with Motif/X calls in RS/6000, but
- problems arise in all the DECstations that I can test on. These DECs are
- running ULTRIX 4.1, and the include files are located in the DEC designated
- directories.
-
- Please don't tell me it *should* work. I tried all I can think of, including
- putting "extern" around the include files. If someone has actually get it to
- work, please help.
-
- Please send your helpful reply to:

- P.S. Even the unmodifed source code from Douglas Young choked. Young wrote a
- book on getting C++ to work under Motif.
