The current 2.2.2 release is broken (missing animate.c) and it seems to have been broken for a long time. Is anybody actually working (maintaining) these releases?

OpenMotif 2.2.2 release
im having a bad day, i thought i posted a follow up to this...
how are you building it? on what platform?
animate.c shouldnt be needed. it doesnt show in the Makefile.am
or the Imakefile (yuck). when i build it looks like
valhalla (116) > make clean
test -z "xmanimate" || rm -f xmanimate
rm -rf .libs _libs
test -z "dog.uid plane.uid superman.uid xmanimate.uid" || rm -f dog.uid plane.uid superman.uid xmanimate.uid
rm -f *.o core *.core

did you get the source from the tar.gz archive, or from the srpm? what distro are you using?
as for work going into OME, it happens when people give their time. usualy in spurts. if you wish to contribute, or anyone you know whishes to contribute we would love the help.
a good number of bugs have been fixed in version 2.2.3. some clean up needs to be done, some tests and then we need to package it.

Hi all,
(I`m not a maintainer)
We`ll I don`t see animate.c in 2.1.30 or 2.2.1 either. Infact - in 2.2.1 it`s xmanimate.c and mine built and works.
Did you use Imake or autoconfig to build it?
Anyway, demos are meant to be forsaken as far as good complete coding goes ) On the other hand, the demos are good if your trying to read the code to learn mwm programming. They are *certainly*not* meant to show off mwm.
Go to www.sun.com and look at snapshots of CDE in action if you want to see _real_ action. (note CDE is a separate product that goes on top of mwm - their currently is no free equivalent (cheap - but not open or free)).
Yes, this happens on my system as well. (SuSE 8.x, OM compiled and installed with "./configure; make; make install" from openmotif-2.2.2.tgz, downloaded from this site).
The "make" goes through all right, but the complaint about the missing animate.c file shows up when doing "make install". I helped myself by doing a "make -k install" instead.
If I try to do a "make" in the demos subdir I get a lot of error messages as well. I can submit the output from make if anyone`s interested.
Looks like this release still needs some polishing before it compiles without a hitch on a larger variety of distros.
The tar.gz files don`t seem to be correct.
Specifically, I`ve retrieved
http//ftp.motifzone.net/2.2/src/openMotif-2.2.2.tar.gz
and
ftp//ftp.opengroup.org/pub/openmotif/R2.2/tars/openmotif-2.2.2.tgz
In both, demos/programs/animate/Makefile.am has the line
animate_SOURCES = xmanimate.c animate.c
This line also appears in the broken-out sources at ftp.opengroup.org.
On the other hand, the CVS tree at motifzone shows what would appear to be the 2.2.2 version of this file as not having the
reference to animate.c.
(By the way, not only do the tar.gz files differ from CVS, they also differ from each other. Though the differences are only in
documentation files such as RELNOTES.)
