OpenMotif 2.3 is Released!

Submitted by megan on Thu, 06/07/2007 - 19:29.

The OpenMotif Project Team announced today the release of OpenMotif 2.3, marking the most significant version of OpenMotif since it was released to the open source community in May 2000.

OpenMotif 2.3 includes major feature enhancements and over 25 bug fixes requested by developers of enterprise applications. The new features include
* Client-side anti-aliased fonts supported 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 support

Corrupt source tarball

The tarball ftp://ftp.ics.com/openmotif/2.3/openmotif-2.3.tar.bz2 seems to be somewhat damaged. The script libtool calls programs like /usr/freeware/bin/grep and many files are replaced by symbolic links to files which are not included.

OpenMotif 2.3 is Released!

We've replaced the file with a new one that I believe will work properly now.

error: 'MSG_Resource_0013' undeclared

Many thanks! This version again reaches the well-known quality of
Motif. Nevertheless, some problems appeared during compilation on Linux.

In MultiList.c we find on lines 28 and 599

#define FIND_STRING _XmMMsgResource_0013

and

XmStringCreateLocalized(FIND_STRING);

respectively. Thereby, _XmMMsgResource_0013 is defined in XmMsgI.h by
referring to MSG_Resource_0013. However, MSG_Resource_0013 is missed
to by defined in XmMsgCatI.h.

After getting this bug confirmed and when having more time, I shall report
on the other problems.

Demo Makefiles use GNU make idioms

I am currently porting OpenMotif 2.3 to OpenBSD (updating the existing port). Most of the demo Makefilenow use GNU make idioms and can the demos can not longer be build using BSD make. Patches like these are needed:
