xgrass dependency on Motif?

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Pardon me if this is a FAQ.

I have recently ported grass-4.1 to NetBSD-1.0alpha and
ran into a couple of snags.

1. splitfont dumps core, and I cannot get it up...
2. Does xgrass really depend on Motif? I saw *no* mention of this
   requirement in any of the docs.
3. Where can I find an FAQ?

In response to #2:
Yes, xgrass does require Motif to compile. If you have statically
compiled binaries then you can run in X without Motif. If you
want graphical menu-driven grass without the Motif requirement,
try looking into tcltkgrass. This requires you have tcl and tk
on your system, but they are available in the public domain.

Good Luck,

  Hi.

  Please, let me once again take advantage of your helpfullness.

  As a result of running Gmake under IRIX5.x on my application C-code
        I receive the following error message:

Object file format error in:
/Users1/lopresti/sergeyva/grass/src/libes/LIB.sgi5/libvect.a(line_struct.o):
Bad magic number
*** Error code 1

  Could you tell me what could be the reasons that magic number is
  so bad and how possibly could I fix this situation?

  Thankfully,

try this:
% cd /Users1/lopresti/sergeyva/grass/src/libes
% rm OBJ.sgi5/line_struct.o
% gmake4.1

this will replace the object in the library.

Then try to recompile your application
