Port for cygwin ?

Hello,

I have a motif application, which is running fine under Linux openmotif, but has problems with lesstif. Now, I want to compile it under cygwin. Unfortunately, there is only lesstif, but no openmotif.

Did one of you compile openmotif already for cygwin? Any hints?

Thanks in advance

G?nter

I just ran ./configure followed by make. It built libXm.a ok which is all I cared about. The only problem when linking with my app is there was no readdir_r in my gcc libc so I hacked one from readdir.

Hi Folks,

any news yet on an OpenMotif-Port for cygwin? I am in need since lesstif does not do it for me, unfortunately.

I ported a decades old app from SGI over to LINUX and now try to get it to work on Win with cygwin/x. No deal, since the XMT library, that this app uses, won't work with lesstif.

My point is:
Why does the OpenMotif-Code itself contain in a lot of places "#ifdef __CYGWIN__" Preprocessor-statements, if it is not allowed to port it? Obviously, people (who can) do so and even check in their code.

Greetings,
Martin
