Hi folks, Apologies if this is a little too off topic, but I thought it might at least be of interest to some list members. I'm currently working on a 64 bit port of the XView libraries and clients (http://xview.xenu.tk/cgi-bin/view). This is based on a version of XView that includes as many of the third-party modifications were made to Sun's original release of the code as can be found.
My work so far has been to ANSI'fy the olgx library, which is the graphics layer used by clients such as the olwm and olvwm window managers. I'm currently ANSI'fying and cleaning up olwm. The hard task is going to be making the variable argument lists in the xview library itself work on 64 bit systems, since they rely on typedef that results in code assuming 32 bit pointers ... Longer term, I'm going to suggest to the maintainer of the XView repository that we include the SlingShot and UIT libraries that sat on top of XView to provide extra widgets and a C++ API. I already have cleaned up version of SlingShot, but it currently awaits the 64 bit version of XView to see what further work is needed.
