Marc asks about Xgrass
I tried to run the setup script but it needed the location of the
Motif include files (I have Linux 0.98pl13). Can I compile it without Motif ?
The script <configure/Setup> does a limited search for your libraries, but
may fail if these are in odd (ie, non Sun) places. Have a look in the script
and see which files it is trying to locate, then you should be able to supply a
full path spec to the script.
Beware that some other nasty errors await the unwary. I haven't seen any of
this discussed before, so here goes:
"To solve the infinite process spawning problem, edit <Makefile.SH> in both
<configure> and <xclip> to reflect the following:
if test -f Makefile
then
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak"
***
Also, it would be nice if the scripts would:
"Edit <configure/databases> to reflect the full path spec for Grass data."
and, by the way, there is no mention of having to run <bin/xguserdatabases>.
This section of code in <configure/Setup> also looks slightly strange to me:
---------------------------
grassarchext=''
base=`basename $grassbase`
if test "$base" != ''; then
if test -d "$grasssrc/src/libes/LIB.$base"; then
echo "You seem to have compiled GRASS for multiple architectures"
grassarchext=".$base"
else
grassarchext=''
fi
fi
--------------------------
We _do_ have a suffix on our <grasssrc/src/libes/LIB>, but the script never
detects it.
I had to change the flags and the syntax for the <install> command in
<lib/Makefile.SH>, as this differs in the HP world. I also had to make a few
source changes, some in response to what look like more general errors:
lib/help.c
----------
Make sure your particular system is accommodated. I had to add
#ifdef SYSV
#define XmSCROLL_BAR_BIT XmSCROLLBAR_BIT
#endif
lib/prop.c
----------
#ifdef _NO_PROTO
XgGetMenuWindow(display)
changed to
#ifdef _NO_PROTO
XgGetMenuWindow(display)
Display *display;
also
err = XGetWindowProperty(display, XRootWindow(display,0), property,
*
0, 8192, False, type, &actual_type, &actual_format, &nitems,
&bytes_after, &prop);
(not sure about this last one; I'm no Motif guru)
lib/Help.c
----------
Line 1033 defines the type XtCallbackList, but this is a known type within our
Xt library.
