Xperts or Sunnies:

Can X11R5 from MIT be built using Sun's SYSV compatibility?  I built it, like
many have, using /usr/bin/cc, /usr/include/* and /usr/lib/*.  But when I try
using /usr/5bin/cc, /usr/5include/* and /usr/5lib/*, the X server hangs!  To be
more precise, xinit, X, twm, and xterm all start and appear on the screen.  But
the pointer just sits there.  Is there something special I must do to get X
build in the SYSV system.

Motif is not a window manager, but mwm - which comes as a part of Motif - is.

 I have an Athena's asciiTextWidget, which has just one 
line text. My problem is that I want to scroll the widget 
without scrollbar.
 
If I set "scrollNever" and then type more 
characters than widget's width allows, the widget
won't scroll along so that I could see what I am typing.

If I set "scrollWhenNeeded" or "scrollAlways" then the
text will scroll OK, but I can't see much
more than the scrollbar.

So is there a way to

 (I)  Set the asciiTextWidget's scrollbar's width to zero,

 (II)  make scrollbar invisible,

 (III)  some other easy way to resolve the problem

  I don't want to make asciiTextWidget any bigger by adding 
widget's height for some unneccessary scrollbar.

You can specify other fonts using the -fn option when you invoke xterm.
Or you can set the resource in your .Xdefaults file. Or you can try
different fonts out interactively by using xfontsel. Select a font using
xfontsel, then hit the select button on xfontsel. Move the pointer to an
xterm window and hit button3 whilst holding CTRL down and you'ill get the
fonts menu. Select the menu item at the bottom labelled Selection and your
xterm will resize and use the new font.

Subject: HELP getting 2 toplevel shells on 2 displays to function simultaneously
Date: 30 Jul 92 20:46:11 GMT
Organization: NYU Medical Center, New York, NY 10016, USA

I have been trying to write a small program to create an Application
Shell on one display and a TopLevel Shell on another display, and then
define some widgets in each. Strangely enough, I can do one of two
things without getting a Segmentation Fault:
a) XtAppInitialize on Display1, XtOpenDisplay on Display2, then do
a whole application on Display1 as long as I don't try to
XtAppCreateShell on Display2 (that causes Segmentation Fault); or
b) XtAppInitialize on Display1, XtOpenDisplay on Display2, then do a
whole application on Display2 as long as I don't define any widgets on
Display1 (that causes Segmentation Fault).

What's wrong? Do I need two Application Contexts? I tried this once
and it didn't seem to have any effect. Two application shells appears
to be illegal. Am I going to have to fork a new process to get the
second toplevel shell working? That sounds unnecessary to me.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have done this. I create a Unidraw object and use the Unidraw event
loop to drive the application.  You can quit using unidraw::quit or
Session::quit.  You can create an Editor and pop it up using unidraw::open.
I have defined the appearance of one editor using widgets from WidgetKit,
and another using unidraw (2.6-based) objects like Viewer.  I have not yet
tried combining 3.1 and 2.6 objects in the same editor -- but as long as
you stick to one or the other I know it works. You can, though, have an
editor that is defined by a composition of unidraw (2.6) objects pop up
a dialog that is made of widgets (a subclass of Dialog, like that of
DialogKit::file_chooser).

(the kind of you do not want to know about)
	I can get GNU C++ from  DG for a couple of rubles. But if that
version is based on GNU 1.x, am I asking for perhaps for more problems
when I want to build iv 3.0.1 and later 3.1?
	Can anybody report on his experiences?

Subject: Posting x-events from InterViews/UniDraw
Organization: University of Oslo, Norway
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1992 14:44:44 GMT

	
We are trying to generate events to be handled by an UniDraw
application. We are doing this by generating X-events that are posted
using XSendEvent (from the same application). We are mainly posting
XButtonEvents. However, our application is not receiving the generated
events. Xev receives the events when we are testing with that
application. We believe that we are not setting all the parameters in
the XEvent structure and/or the parameters for the XSendEvent function
properly.

Below is the XButtonEvent structure as taken from Xlib.h.

typedef struct {
   int type;		/* of event */
   unsigned long serial;/* # of last request processed by server */
   Bool send_event;	/* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
   Display *display;	/* Display the event was read from */
   Window window;	/* "event" window it is reported relative to */
   Window root;	        /* root window that the event occured on */
   Window subwindow;	/* child window */
   Time time;		/* milliseconds */
   int x, y;		/* pointer x, y coordinates in event window */
   int x_root, y_root;	/* coordinates relative to root */
   unsigned int state;	/* key or button mask */
   unsigned int button;	/* detail */
   Bool same_screen;	/* same screen flag */
} XButtonEvent;

We are in particular in doubt with respect to the window, root and
subwindow fields. We can't find how to extract the applicable values
from the data structures UniDraw/InterViews allows us to work on. We
would also like advice on the "correct" way to get hold of the (X)
Display (and (X) Window) to be used as arameters to XSendEvent().

The parameters we are curently setting within the XButtonEvent are:
type, window, root, subwindow (the last three are set equal), x, y,
state, button, same_screen=true. 

Any advice or pointers to sample programs are appreciated.

Hi all,

A couple of years ago, we did some development with IV2.6 under SCO with
their C++ compiler.  Since then, SCO has gone X11R4, so none of this stuff
will build anymore.  

So I'm trying to build IV3.0.1 with gcc 2.2.2, and except for a lot of
warnings about anachronistic this and that, libIV.a almost builds, except
for IV-X11/xdisplay.c, where I get the error:

../../IV-X11/xdisplay.c: At top level:
../../IV-X11/xdisplay.c:54: no `unlink' member function declared in class
../../IV-X11/xdisplay.c:56: no `unlink' member function declared in class

which, are the following lines:

implementList(DamageList,Window*);

implementTable(WindowTable,XWindow,Window*);

	Now I got it to compile by (essentially) copying in relevant contents
of wtable.h and damagelist.h into xdisplay.c.  But, when I go to link (alert 
for example), it can't find the following:

undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file

remove__12ivDamageListl             /usr/local/interviews/lib/Sco/libIV.a
ld fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out


Any ideas? Anyone got IV3.0.1 to build under SCO with gcc 2.2.2? 

Thanx in advance for your time.

Subject: line joins, line endings, fill rule etc.
Organization: Internet-USENET Gateway at Stanford University
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 14:14:44 GMT

Would it be possible to add canvas member functions to control the
drawing parameters for the style of line joins, line endings, and
filling rules. Since they are available both on X drawables and on
PostScript printers, I think it should be quite easy to add them to
the current implementation.

I suggest the following functionnalities in canvas.h:

enum FillRule { fill_eo, fill_nzw };
enum CapStyle { cap_not_last, cap_butt, cap_round, cap_projecting };
enum JoinStyle { join_miter, join_round, join_bevel };

class Canvas {
public:
...
    virtual void fill_rule(FillRule);
    virtual FillRule fill_rule() const;
    virtual void cap_style(CapStyle);
    virtual CapStyle cap_style() const;
    virtual void join_style(JoinStyle);
    virtual JoinStyle join_style() const;
    virtual void push_gstate();
    virtual void pop_gstate();
...
};

Another choice would be to overload stroke and fill like this:

class Canvas {
public:
...
    virtual void stroke(const Color*, const Brush*);
    virtual void stroke(const Color*, const Brush*, CapStyle, JoinStyle);
....
    virtual void fill(const Color*);
    virtual void fill(const Color*, FillRule);
};

You can build -g libraries with "make all.debug".  For individual files,
just remove xevent.o and say "make APP_CCFLAGS=-g xevent.o".

If you have a copy of xevent.c in your application directory, you need
to add APP_INCLUDES=<source>/iv/src/lib/IV-X11.

   If anybody has used C++ 2.1 on a Sun4
   with X11R5 to compile IV3.1, I would appreciate
   if you could send me your local.def, params.def,
   and any patches that you applied to the
   distribution.  I am unable to get the
   library libIV.3.0 to build.

   Thanks

Suresh

You need to be sure your library was built with BuildRPCClasses
set to YES in local.def.

The PostScript is in iv/src/man/refman/refman.PS.
