Hi guys,
just some more background:
while the libarb package build from the arb source contains
ARB.so ,
That's the perl module (imports as Bio:: IIRC). It allows accessing the
database and remote controlling ARB. It's build with makemaker and can
be finicky to build, plus it's dependent on perl ABI. ARB's macro
recording feature writes Perl files, and a number of menu items are
written in Perl (CSV import for example). In a perfect world, this would
go into an ARB perl module. It has a namespace issue, though, as it
occupies "Bio::". Since user recorded macros use that name space, it's
not easy to fix that legacy issue.
libAWT.so and
That's the ARB Window Toolkit, so the high level components of the kit
interfacing with the libARBDB for various things, e.g. Redo/Undo stack.
libWINDOW.so
That's the lower level part of the window toolkit sitting on top of
motif and X11.
