Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Build/Install Group: release Status: Open Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: engelsman (engelsman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: nedit-5.5 fails to build with openMotif-2.3.0 Initial Comment: I'm using Lunar Linux, which is a source based distro, and for whatever reason decided to rebuild all of the installed packages again from scratch, only to find that nedit-5.5 won't rebuild now that other packages have been updated in the meantime. Please see the attached compile log for more details. If I track down the missing dependency/library, I will let you know.

It would be brilliant if an autotools wizard could restructure the nedit make system so that nedit can be compiled against whichever of lesstif or openMotif is installed. [Unfortunately that wizard is not me :-( ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Macks (dmacks) Date: 2008-06-19 05:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=535292 Originator: NO lesstif provides an autoconf macro to publish what compiler/linker flags are needed to use it. It's rare that I say "shame something isn't using a standard autotool-driven build system", but there ya go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bert Wesarg (lebert) Date: 2008-03-09 23:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122956 Originator: NO If its only the extra libs, here is my list for OM 2.3.0 on an x86-64 linux: -lXm -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andrew Hood (ajhood) Date: 2008-03-09 23:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=36856 Originator: NO I can't find my test build with OM 2.3.0 but it did work. I did have to add a couple of extra libs to the link. There was one patch I had to make to the OM source to stop crashes. I have the first release of the OM source and yours might have it included. I can search for it in bugzilla if you need it. There is one patch required to NEdit to get a clean compile since a few extra #defines were added to OM. diff -b -u -r1.6 XmL.h --- Microline/XmL/XmL.h 15 Aug 2004 02:09:13 -0000 1.6 +++ Microline/XmL/XmL.h 9 Mar 2008 22:02:39 -0000 @@ -295,7 +295,9 @@ /* Grid Row/Column/Cell resources */ +#if XmVersion < 2003 #define XmNrow "row" +#endif /*XmVersion*/ #define XmCGridRow "row" #define XmNrowHeight "rowHeight" #define XmCRowHeight "RowHeight" @@ -313,7 +315,9 @@ #define XmRRowType "RowType" #define XmNrowUserData "rowUserData" +#if XmVersion < 2003 #define XmNcolumn "column" +#endif /*XmVersion*/ #define XmCGridColumn "Column" #define XmNcolumnPtr "columnPtr" #define XmNcolumnRangeEnd "columnRangeEnd" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: engelsman (engelsman) Date: 2008-03-09 21:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2011011 Originator: YES Yooden: yes, and no! What threw me was that because I have openMotif-2.3.0 installed, the current Lunar Linux nedit build process responds with: > NEdit is known to work with LessTif versions: > ... > and is known to be very stable with Open Motif versions 2.1.30 and > 2.2.3, which are freely available from several sources, including: > ... > ========================== WARNING =========================== > You have chosen to build NEdit with an untested version of Open Motif. > Please report your success or failure with this version to: > [email protected] nedit failed to build, so I assumed that it was down to incompatibilities with openMotif-2.3.0. In fact, it is, and it isn't. The Open Motif 2.3 Release Notes contain the following nugget: > 2. What is new in Open Motif 2.3 > OpenMotif 2.3 has the following feature improvements: > * Client-side anti-aliased fonts support via XFT > * UTF-8 and UTF8_STRING atom support > * Ability to show text and pixmaps in Label, LabelGadget and all > derived widgets > * Support of PNG and JPEG image formats in the same way as XPM is supported > * 26 bug fixes If libXft, libpng and libjpeg are already installed on the system, the Open Motif configuration step should detect them and enable them. In fact, in the Lunar package options these are explicitly enabled. But this means that any code that links against Open Motif will also need to define these libraries on the link line. And that is the problem here. I think. To get nedit to build with Open Motif 2.3, I need to add -DBUILD_UNTESTED_NEDIT to CFLAGS in nedit/makefiles/Makefile.linux. If I also add -lXmu -lXft -lpng -ljpeg to the LIBS declaration then I can get nedit to build without error. I would be much obliged if you could check and confirm this behaviour.

Can you use Lesstif as an alternative? Is there a Lunar bug tracker web page? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=1894905&group_id=11005 -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
