Open Motif 2.3 Discussion

Hello.

I am trying to compile OpenMotif 2.3 (openmotif-2.3.0-20060106.tar.gz) downloaded from your site.

I am running Debian Etch (testing). I dont know what other information would be helpful, If you need more info please say so.

And thanks for your hints. Mark S?nchez.

Here is the latest error given by make:

I have recently upgraded from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 5. Prior to upgrading my Opera browser worked beautifully. Since upgrading, the following message appears every time I start Opera:

> "Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
> Plug-ins will not work properly.
> Check your installation.
>
> Could not start plug-in executable 'operamotifwrapper'.
> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
> Please install Motif.
>
> Plug-in path
> (Path can be modified in Preferences dialog)
>
> /usr/lib/opera/plugins
> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"

I tried changing the application's fontList to use -monotype-arial-... Unicode font and the menus were missing the underline on their mnemonics.

When I try to compile openmotif-2.3.0 (after doing ./configure) on Ubuntu Linux (Breezy), I get:

In file included from XmStrDefs.c:10:
../Xm/Xm.h:76:34: error: X11/extensions/Print.h: No such file or directory

In addition I have motif programs that won't compile with the standard ubuntu motif package (2.2.3-1), giving similar errors.

I do have a header file: /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/Print.h, but perhaps this is a different one?

I have also installed the package libxext-dev .

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Quick question. I have an XmList widget that has XmNvisibleItemCount set to 5 with no items actually stored in the widget. With openmotif 2.2.3, it respecits the visiibleItemCount when calculating the height.

With openMotif 2.3 beta 2, the widget is basically zero pixels high. If I put an empty string in the widget, it does resize to be one row high.

What's the correct behavior for XmList when XmNvisibleItemCount is greater than XmNitemCount?

I've built openmotif 2.3 beta 1 on SuSe 9.3 x86_64. I have found one weird problem. If we programatically change the foreground/background of CascadeButton it only changes the colors immediately around the text label. All the rest of the widget between the label and and top/bottom shadows retain their original pixel values. If fixed this (I think) by tweaking SetValues in CascadeB.c to call GetBackgroundGC if the foreground or background pixel values have changed. Its been about 14 or 15 years since I mucked around in the internals of Motif so please pardon me if there is a better fix.

Does anyone have an examples of applications they have developed using OM 2.3.

hi,

can't find the source code for om2.3 beta 2. can anyone help?
