How compilable is 3.1beta? I picked up the patches and put those in,
but some files are not complete, esp. WidgetKit. I'm in the process of
learning C++ and would like to be able to use Interviews to get
windowed output. I figure that's it's worth my time to put up with
some bugs to avoid learning two systems. Also, there doesn't seem to
be a tutorial for 3.0.1, although there are for 2.0.6 and 3.1 (alpha).
I welcome suggestions.

Hi,

I'm trying to build the Interviews kit which I just got off of interviews.stanford
and after a bit of mucking around, I have gotten most of it to compile with
gcc 2.2.2 and libg++-2.2.  But, g++ complains about the following line of code:

  istream in(strlen(definition) + 1, definition);

The error message is:
./catalog.c:1596: bad argument 0 for function 'istream::istream(struct streambuf*,
  class ostream* (=0))' (type was int)
./catalog.c:1596: in base initialization for class 'istream'


which is in catalog.c module of the Unidraw directory.  After much
looking around (and knowing precisely zero about C++, and I'm no C
whiz either), I find that libg may be the culprit since the WHATS.NEW
file mentions incompatibility between the old streams package and the
newest version.  In the old-stream/istream.h file, there is what
appears to be numerous prototypes of the type of params that can be
passed to istream.  One of them is:

istream(int sz, char* buf, int sk=1,ostream* t = 0);

That would appear(!) to be the type of prototype I need.  That is
conjecture on my part.  I'm really pretty lost at the moment.  Do I
have to go back to the old stream classes (by re-defining IO_DIR in
the old-stream Makefile)?  Since the include files and lib are already
installed, what would I have to do to fix this?

Second problem:

In catcmds.c, the 3 lines (at line # 271,359 and 403) that are:

        domain = (domain == nil) ? "component" : domain;

Cause a: 

./catcmds.c: In method 'void ViewCompCmde::Execute ();:
./catcmds.c:271: assignment between incompatiable pointer types
 
type of error.

Any help to track down and eradicate these problems would be very
appreciated.

I have compiled Interviews 3.1 beta with SUN c++ 2.1 with -PIC and all the
other default options. I am running this on a Sparc IPC running SUNOS 4.1.1.
My problem is that all InterViews applications in src/bin core dump with
segmentation violation when they do the following:

   font = GetFont ();
   Height(font);

This occurs specifically at these places:

In dclock

  line 217 dface.c

In idraw line 112 in Unidraw/stateviews.c

Could somebody tell me what (if any) fix is there for this problem.

Note: I have most of the programs in src/examples working though.

Please e-mail your responses to:

Thank You

Hi,

we have an aplication that draws 80000 points and 60000 faces, which is obviously
very slow.

The Problem is that every time we click on the pulldown menu, the glyph gets
a 'damage' and starts redrawing itself (->15 sec wait), then when we let go
of the mouse button, i.e. choose an entry, it redraws again. :-<<<
The same happens for every dialog box which is opened.

Then we tried to put the pulldown menu at the bottom of the window, so that
it won't damage the glyph. But that didn't help either.

Does anyone of you know of a solution for this? If it is really not possible 
to change this behaviour, Interviews won't be an acceptable toolkit for
applications of this kind. I don't want to have to wait 10 sec, just to see
the menu.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Patrick and Andy.

There currently is no support analogous to Xt translations,

I'm not the only one who had been having trouble building IV3.1.beta
so I thought I'd throw out a couple of hints that worked for me.

In local.def: You must have either sgi_motif_kit or motif_kit defined
for KitFlags. The OpenLook and Mono kits haven't been finished yet so
defining them has no effect. Also, it appears that you don't need
motif for these, it's just what the "look-and-feel" of the kits is.
I also needed -I/usr/lang/SC1.0/include/CC in DependCCFlags so
makedepend didn't whine.

AFTER applying Mark Linton's patch, I still needed the following patch
to iv/src/lib/OS/file.c in order to compile it:

Reply-To: gupta@wonderland.sps.mot.com

I have been experimenting with porting Unidraw to InterViews Plus
and have currently run into an obstacle which to a starter in the 
knowledge of IV class hierarchies seems unsurmountable. Any help/
pointers will be appreciated.

Here is the description:
------------------------

I am able to get the motif look into the idraw application quite easily. 
I compiled all classes not supported by InterViews Plus into auxilliary
libraries - using the header files of InterViews Plus and compiled idraw
with the IV Plus and these auxilliary libraries. Basically involved 
defining some application specific variables and modifying different
Makefiles/Imakefiles - quite straightforward.

Now the bad part:
-----------------

None of the pulldown menus of idraw work. Though the different
commands on the pull down menus are accessible with the key bindings
as defined by Unidraw and the application code for idraw, attempts to
open any pulldown menu (e.g. File, Edit, etc.) leads to core dumps :-(
- sulk sulk

One solution I tried:
---------------------

As per advise from some engineers at HP I eliminated all key bindings in the
idraw code, recompiled the stuff and ran it. Same result. Core dumps on
trying to exercise a pull down menu.

The confusing part:
-------------------

Comparing idraw against the ted example (compiled using IV Plus)
the only difference I noted was: In idraw the call back function
for different commands is a member function of Command class
(e.g. NewCompCmd::Execute()). This is defined as part of the Unidraw
classes. This gets invoked from the member function
of the interactor for that command (CommandControl::Do()). However,
in ted the call back function is defined as a member function of the
EditorApp class and this is invoked from the function MenuItem::Do() 
for the corresponding item in the PulldownMenu.

Both methods seem correct. I can't understand why idraw should core
dump.

Could a kind soul (Stanford Gurus ??) enlighten this novice.

Anyone else out there who has tried something like this?

Thanks in anticipation.

isn't this patch on interviews. The main problem remaining is that the

some-such-class here, define some-such-class here. I spent a good deal

Subject: [Q]:printer "driver"--save PS, then ftp to unix-box
Organization: Carnegie Mellon University
Distribution: comp
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1992 22:50:06 GMT

A question from one naive about PC's.  We have a PC networked onto an
ethernet-work using NCSA's tcp/ip package.  That is, we can ftp and
telnet to the other machines.

From within MS-Windows, we would like to print directly to our postscript
printer, which is also networked.

Unfortunately, it is an Appletalk printer, networked through a converter
box (Dayna's Etherprint) -- so I do not want to print directly to the printer.

Rather, we would like to do this:

	1) select print in windows
	2) automatically save the postscript to a file.
	3) automatically ftp the file to a unix box.
	4) print the file from the unix box.

We have steps 2-4.  It is a script written in DOS that will take the name
of a postscript file, ftp it to the unix-box, and there, a daemon will 
send it to the printer.  A Kludge, but it works.

Question (finally) is:

	* Can we modify the standard printer drivers in MS-windows,
	so that they will save a postscript file, and then call our
	script?

Alternatively, are there any more sane (yet in$expensive$) alternatives?

Please e-mail any info you have (I don't normally follow the bboard).  If
interest warrants, I'll post a summary.

Thanks!

John.

  .The main problem here is tht Windows does not like creating it's swap file
  .in a STACKER'd drive - it MUST be in the ORIGINAL drive C: (are you swapping
  .the drives after boot ???  If so, the swap file must be ing the NON-STACKER'
  .D drive).

FWIW, Jon is absolutely correct.  The PERMANENT swap file cannot be a
STACKER'd disk.  I have always setup my STACKER'd C: drive with plenty
of uncompressed space -- about 8 meg -- just for the permanent swap
file.  For example, I have 4 partitions (on a total of 2 drives), all
swapped (SSWAP.COM), so C: becomes G:, with G: the uncompressed drive.
I have the basic root files on G:, along with 2 subdirectories, \STACKER
and \QEMM; I think it ends being about 600kbytes, or so.  The rest is
all permanent swap file space.  Then Autoexec.bat contains a statement
SET TEMP=g:\, and the appropriate similar statement exists in
SYSTEM.INI.  Now, TEMPORARY swap files can be on a STACKER'd drive, but
with the SET command above, mine are also on the uncompressed area - just for
grins!  :-)

Could you post the driver file's exact size and date? Would it also
be possible to tell us where you got the driver? If it came with the
hardware, when did you get the hardware? Could you make the driver
available via anonymous ftp (i.e. post it to ftp.cica.indiana.edu
/pub/puc/win3/uploads)?
 
thanks in advance

barry
