Hey Emmanuel, I have a very nicely working NEdit CVS with OpenMotif running quite well.

Hi all, I just reinstalled my Slackware 13 system (bye, bye, hard drive) and need to reinstall nedit.
This one looks like the openmotif distribution to be broken. Well, hu, I'll try from the 2.3.0 source then... Unless anyone has anythin better to propose?
It looks to me like you haven't set up your compile correctly. Firstly, what OpenMotif version did you use? I grabbed the IST binary from http://www.ist-inc.com. I used the 2.1.32 RPM and converted it into a tgz package. I then removed LessTif, since it causes problems with looking up the OpenMotif binaries, which are installed into their own directory. Next, I checked out the nedit directory. There is already an almost correct linux makefile. However, IST OpenMotif installs into /usr/OpenMotif-2.1.32, so I added the lib and include directories from there into the CFLAGS and LIBS for the makefile. I also followed the directions and added -lXp to the list before -lXt. Basically, after that, it is just running make linux. That puts nedit and nc into the source directory. I copied those into the /usr/local/bin directory, because I didn't want to make a package that contained only two binaries, and I didn't really need the rest of the stuff. NEdit is one of the few application I manage this way. This is also because netcat and nedit conflict with the nc binary. So I have one in /usr/local/bin and one in /usr/bin. If I made a package, I would probably change the name of the NEdit nc to ncl. If you want, I can probably make a SlackBuild script for IST OpenMotif or the OpenMotif from the OpenGroup with the patches, and also provide a SlackBulid script for NEdit, which ought to already be available, really.
