OpenMotif 2.3.0 Fails to compile ...

Submitted by mr_jimmybob on Sun, 04/16/2006 - 13:52.

Hello.

I am trying to compile OpenMotif 2.3 (openmotif-2.3.0-20060106.tar.gz) downloaded from your site.

I am running Debian Etch (testing). I dont know what other information would be helpful, If you need more info please say so.

And thanks for your hints. Mark S?nchez.

Here is the latest error given by make:

Due to a debian bug

Grrrr. Hello again.

After some further investigation (that always seems to happen *after* posting to the forums).

It seems that it is a Debian bug.

_Xgetpwnam semantics was changed in the headers in the debian packages or something.

If anyone has any intrest Ill try and get back to it.

Sorry for wasting yous time, and as usual...

have fun :)
Mark Sanchez.

A possible solution

After sulking all day due to my failure... I thought, hello?, I am an *expert^ C hacker!, so lets start hacking :)

I looked for the calls to _Xgetpwnam() which seem to be a wrapper for getpwnam, as you can see in this define:

From /lib/Xm/Xmos_r.h
# define _XGetpwnam(u,p) getpwnam((u))

And taking a look at the definition of getpwnam we get:

From /usr/include/pwd.h:
extern struct passwd *getpwnam (__const char *__name);

if the define in the Xmos file just ingnores the second arg 'p', maybe I should just ingore the third arg :). Hurray!. Hacking for *hours* and *hours* on end, 2 pizzas and 7 beers later I just added a NULL for the expected third arg where _XGetpwnam(...) was called.

Well, OpenMotif 2.3.0 *did* compile. I dont know if one day an app using the gui will turn evil and eat my goldfish because of this very silly hack (well, hack to call it something).

Ah yes, and Kids!, dont try this at home!

Thanks for listening and happy coding.
Mark Sanchez.

../Xm/Xm.h:76:34: error: X11/extensions/Print.h: No such fil

Hi,

Sorry, but its not clear to me. Do you mean, Mark, that for every instance of,

_XGetpwnam(u,p)

in all the source files in the openmotif directory, you replaced it with _XGetpwnam(u,p,NULL)? FYI, I'm compiling this on Ubuntu, which was derived from Debian. Does anyone have any suggestions? Below is the result of my make command after changing the source files.

TIA,

Roger

OpenMotif 2.3.0 Fails to compile ...

Hello Roger.

Yes. I replaced every call of _XGetpwnam(a,b) with _XGetpwnam(a,b,NULL) for any given a and b.

It did the trick for me back then.

But, looking at your compile errors the problems seems to be something else.

The line : X11/extensions/Print.h: No such file or directory

does not look good.

Maybe you are missing some extensions (some dev includes or something else). Print.h is part of the X Print Extension Library standard, I think it is the libxp-dev package. Try to install it and see if the error remains.

Try and see if any of this helps.

If not, get back here and we will see what more can be done.

Regards Mark.
