Re: forum for Motif, XLib, etc. programming enthusiasts?
Well, OK I can change that. I mostly meant the free Motif site vs the paid version if there still is one. The mainstay of my reference material is Oreily's vol6a.pdf and vol6b.pdf. Motif version 1.2 and X11R5. My vol6b is dated 2001. In an age where it's impossible to have an up to date enough Firefox I'd consider 16 years old to be retro. Nothing against newer versions, only spending money on them. My Raspbian has Motif 2.3.4-6. I do Google things and use up to date stuff when I find it. There was also a lesstif and open motif, I don't claim to know the full history. Interest in it seems to be dwindling, I'm not sure how serious I am about it. I want a fast drawing surface for doing SDR plus some widgets for buttons and frequency readout. I want to add a configuration panel with maybe a dozen items, some edit/combo boxes for setting paths. Otherwise I'd do strictly framebuffer graphics. I don't want a graphics library. I don't care much about fonts, icons, color schemes. Yes, in a production environment I used Borland Delphi 3 up until I retired in 2008. It didn't matter that it was old, it was familiar. We had 1 educational copy that somebody bought when it was $99 and we used it for years in a university environment for in house stuff. So the "unofficial not quite up to date Motif page"? Cumbersome name. So far I've banged out a quick 50 lines of HTML as a placeholder and set up a free account on 1apps. I still haven't submitted a support ticket on how to enable phpBB. Everything's up in the air. On 11/11/17, Marc Balmerwrote: > As you call the site the „retro Motif site“ I will not join it. > > We use Motif in up-to-date production code.

As you call the site the „retro Motif site“ I will not join it. We use Motif in up-to-date production code.

Re: forum for Motif, XLib, etc. programming enthusiasts?
I have to admit I'd favor a modern forum to a mailing list. A couple months ago somebody on another list told me I wasn't quoting properly, well, I'm using Gmail through the web interface. It apparently doesn't know how to do that. And since Motif is GUI it would be handy to be able to upload pictures like screenshots. Of the forum software I see online regularly I think I like phpBB about the best. https://www.phpbb.com/about/ It's GPL 2 and it's what https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/ uses. There's also a SimpleMachines one that isn't bad. like at https://bitcointalk.org/ Or http://www.simplemachines.org/, uses a MySQL database. I'm retired, living the boonies connecting through a cell phone so no static IP address. I can't really host but I could be a moderator. I have free accounts at devio.us (OpenBSD based) and 1apps.com (Windows based, apparently). 1apps gives an account 1 gig of free web space without ads. I've been on there about 5 years, and they were down for most of a year at least a couple years ago. They claim at http://www.1apps.com/features_apps.aspx to have both SimpleMachines and phpBB.

Alan, I am a bit late in this thread, but I wanted to let you know that I still use Motif in C applications today. It is very solid indeed, and as we do touchscreen interfaces that cover the whole screen, not windowed desktop applications, Motif is a good fit. I am sure a mailing list could be set up if interest raises. - Marc ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
