OpenMotif 2.3 Request for comments

Submitted by Bass on Fri, 06/08/2007 - 09:37.

Hi!

Great news and goog job!
I have a bunch of questions however.

1. Why does the 2.3 tarball contain stale symlinks instead of regular files (i. e. config.sub, config.guess, missing)?

2. Why does the 2.3 tarball contain files which are not under CVS control or those differing from their CVS counterparts? See below:

$ cvs status autogen.sh
===================================================================
File: autogen.sh Status: Locally Modified

Working revision: 1.5
Repository revision: 1.5 /cvs/openmotif/autogen.sh,v
Sticky Tag: HEAD (revision: 1.5)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)

Why aren't Makefile.in/Makefile.am put into CVS?

3. Why release_2_3 CVS tag is not yet present?

4. What's the difference between openmotif_2_3 and XFT_BRANCH CVS branches?

Thanks.

Andrew ``Bass'' Shcheglov.

Bass, we replaced the 2.3 source file. I believe it should work properly now.

That is very good, but Makefile.in and configure are still missing in CVS,
so it is not possible to compile OpenMotif from CVS.
I suggest the following
- try following your instructions to get CVS tree and
the bundled INSTALL.configure
- add missing files and/or fix the instructions

An easy project build is fundamental for creating any kind of
community around it.

Dusan,

Makefile.in and configure are generated files so there is no necessity to keep them in CVS.

Yuriy,

Thanks for the help so far.
I download CVS tree and try to follow the instructions from
INSTALL.configure file, so I type

./configure

but it does not work, since the file is not there.
There may be a way to generate the configure file,
but instructions od not tell me, and I do not know.
What can I do?
