Has anyone gotten OLVWM working on the IBM RS-6000 line of computers,
and if so, can anyone detail what "bug-fixes" or mods they had to do to
get it working?

[ Sun IPC, SunOS 4.1.2, OpenWindows 3.0, Installed just like it comes on the CDs -
no funny stuff.]

I have been getting the following message from ld:

ld: Undefined symbol
   _get_wmShellWidgetClass
   _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
*** Error code 2

when I compile many X applications, mostly PD stuff.  One example is
xrn (v6.17).  The compiling goes like this:

cc -O   -I/usr/openwin/share/include        -target sun4 -c  xrn.c

(etc...)

and then:

ld: Undefined symbol

   _get_applicationShellWidgetClass
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xrn'

Even tho it errors, the executable is still made, and it works ok.  It seems that
the symbols are referenced in include files (/usr/openwin/include/X11/Intrinsic.h 
and X11/Shell.h), but they're obviously not getting defined.

I have been able to compile these things without errors on some other machines
around here, but I havn't been able to figure out the diference....

Does anyone know if it is possible to put the Openwindows

What I mean is; when entering text, the default setup inserts
the new text at the carat, I would like to insert the new text
OVER the existing text (and be able to switch back if possible).
This seems like it should be a relatively simple thing to do but
I can't find any reference to this in any documentation.  Any help

Hi,
    We have an interactive data processing program which has a dark red
cursor and black background. On b/w monitor one can not see the cursor
at all. It runs under Openwindows 3.0. I was wondering if there is a way
to globally set the cursor or the whole window color such that we can
see the cursor on b/w monitor without recompiling the program (we don't
have the source code). I have heard of video reversing and has not been
succesful in setting it up, and I don't know if this will work either. I
would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks..

Subject: Problem with XView3 and mmap()
Date: 7 Oct 92 11:16:13 GMT
Organization: University of Reading

Has anyone else had problems using mmap in an XView application?

I map two files in, go and create my interface, and I get a Segmentation
Violation in canvas_init(), usually.  This is using MMAP_FIXED. 
If I create the interface first, and then do the mmap()'s, I get the same
problem in a later xv_create().

The following procedure circumvents the bug:

    - Create the interface
    - Map the files in without MMAP_FIXED
    - Note the address' the files are mapped to.
    - Quit the app.
    - Change the program to use MMAP_FIXED, and map the files to the address'
      noted above, and do interface initialisation first.

I've noticed that the address' noted above are higher than when XView
is not present.

It's as if Xview stomps all over my files, though I've not noticed any
corruption in them.

Anybody?

LispView does not support all of the features of Devguide 3.0. However, this does
not mean that you can't have multiline text fields. You'll simply have to manually
program the calls to the appropriate XView routines. (Then if your really
adventurous you can hack the GLV source so that it properly translates the
Devguide GIL commands for generating multiline text fields.)

Hi,
  I write my own create-button-func, which is like the following

       Button  NewButton(dpy,win,gc,x,y,buttontype,buttonvalue,func)
       Display *dpy;
       Window  win;
       GC      gc;

       ButtonType      buttontype;
       caddr_t         buttonvalue;
       int     (*func)();
 
  what I do is to create an InputOnly window, and check if ButtonPress 
event is happened in this window. If it does, then execute the function 
'func'. 
  The manner to call this function is like this:
    newbtn=NewButton(display,win,gc,x1,y1,TEXTBUTTON,"Press Here",
 	        do_press_func);

  This program is written under the XView enviroment, I don't know how 
to check whether the event happened or not. Could you tell me? Thanks.

Hello OpenLookers:

This site just moved from OW2.0 to OW3.0.  In the filemgr, while
viewing the directory as a tree, the command "begin tree here"
under the "view" pull-down button no longers exists nor does the "hide
subfolders".  These two were very useful to me; I used them frequently
and would like to get them back.

Does anyone know how to get these two options?  Am I doing something
wrong?

Sinan,

Summitpointe has developed a set of tools that enables source level translation
of C/Motif Applications to OpenLook using the OLIT API. 

The tools translate Motif Widgets/Convenience functions/Toolkit functions to the
equivalent OLIT code.

Currently a tool is also being developed to translate UIL code to pure C/Motif.

Here are some points on the Motif2OpenLook converter:

1. This is a source convertor, i.e., it converts C/Motif source code into C/OLIT source code.
2. If an application uses UIL, it is first converted to a pure C/Motif application.
3. Works in two passes. In the first pass, all special convenience Motif functions are eliminated  to get a pure Xt interface. The output  of the first pass is a fully  functional equivalent pure C/Motif application that does not use any of the special conenience functions provided by Motif. In the second pass, the actual translation to C/OLIT code is performed.
4. We maintain a exhaustive database of all  resources, translations, and actions any Motif widget can  use and their mappings for the corresponding OLIT widget.
5. Motif widgets  that are not directly  available in OLIT are simulated  by means of a combination of OLIT widgets.  (For example, XmFileSelectionBox, XmCommand, XmMessageBox, etc.) 
6. For Motif widgets that cannot  be simulated by any combination of OLIT widgets, we plan  to write equivalent widgets. ??????
7. Any differences in  functionality of corresponding widgets are made up for as far as possible. For example, XmScale displays a label for its current value while Slider doesn't. This can be simulated by placing a StaticText widget next to the Slider and have a callback from Slider to update it. 

Unfortunately, I do not have much info. in electronic form. However I would be
glad to meet with you in person, to understand what kind of applications you
plan to convert and what this tool can and cannot do.

Hello.  If this is a FAQ please direct me to the location of the FAQ.txt .

My problem concerns my lack of working knowledge about Xview Programming, and
since I have seen a few articles regarding Xview, I thought I'd post my problem.

I would like to change the strings in my PANEL_LIST in another procedure whenever
the scrolling list is activated(popped up).  I.e., whenever some clicks the "plat
channel" button, the pop-up window containing the scrolling list pops open and
displays the current active channels.  How does one change the string?  Could
some please show me the code necessary, for example, to add 4 strings to an empty
list, then delete those 4 strings, and add 6 different strings.

If someone is interested in helping a poor programmer and needs for info I will
be glad to email the parts of my code.  I just do not wish to waste band-width.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:


/*
* remove_scrollbar.c
*
* remove the scrollbar from 
* cmdtool it's running in
*/

#include "stdio.h"

main() {
	printf("[>4l");
}


/*
* add_scrollbar.c
* 
* add a scrollbar to the 
* shelltool it's running in.
*/

#include "stdio.h"

main() {
	printf("[>4h");
}


Beware of this:

Bug Id: 1104742
Category: xview
Subcategory: cmdtool
Synopsis: escape sequence \E[>4h will turn cmdtool into shelltool permanently
Description: The escape sequence documented in /etc/termcap to turn off a 
		scrollbar in cmdtool is:

	ti = \E[>4l

The escape sequence to turn the scrollbar on in a shelltool is:

	te = \E[>4h

However, if you issue \E[>4h in a cmdtool, the scrollbar will disappear
and you can't get it back, even if you use the menu item "enable
scrolling".

To have a keymap that applies to a specific instance of an application that provides
a Translations property, use the -name <something> argument on the command line when
invoking the application. In your .Xdefaults you can put in a Translations property
using that same <something> name. Then the Translations property will only apply to
instances started with that name.

Eg. I have to connect to a Vax to read mail in All-in-1. I have a
'vt100*VT100.Translations:' property in my .Xdefaults that defines a keymap I can
bear for All-in-1. When I invoke 'xterm -name vt100' I get an xterm with the correct
keymap for All-in-1 and nothing else is affected.

Any help?

The best thing to do if you can is to pick up xkeycaps, and use that.
Get it by anonymous ftp from export.lcs.mit.edu.

Xkeycaps shows a picture of your keyboard, lets you edit the keysyms,
and can also write an xmodmap script.
Beware that it has the | and \ reversed on the Sun type 3 keyboard (easy
to fix, though).

I used to be able to display the DECW$CALENDAR program on my sun,
however since the VMS machine has been upgraded to 5.5-1 and Motif 1.0
(from VMS 5.5), the process sits there permanently computational and
using lots of memory.  I assume that this is some problem between
Openwindows and the new version of Motif.

It looks as if the problem is that I start up the calendar iconised -
I can run the utility on a new file with no problems.  Not wishing to
lose the contents of the decw$calendar_file.dwc, does anyone know how
to hack the file so that the calendar starts up open?

There are some Unix system calls you should not use if you are writing an X application.  Under
XView yes, setitimer should be avoided.  However, your application does not seem to be an XView application.  The reason you don't want to make these calls is that the communication protocol
between the X server and the application might get broken.  It shouldn't affect other clients
since they are using different Notifiers or different event dispatching mechanisms.  Xt Apps
don't use the XView Notifier.  They have their own event dispatching mechanism.
