Using a wml file in Openmotif

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 06/15/2012 - 12:07

Hi,
Tried to use WML to create a wmd file for the Xbae widgets and I found a problem that I need help with.
I can generate a WMD file okay by editing the openmotif/demos/lib/Exm/wml files (Makefile and wmldbcreate) the way the Motif Widget Developer Guide describes.
However, I can not use it: The error I get is: Invalid character at line and then a hundred lines and then a failure informing that the wmd file is of invalid format.
I did the same test with the motif.wmd file in openlinux/tools/wml file with the same result. Is the -w flag to uil broken?

Using a wml file in Openmotif

I used the wrong flag. -w is not the same as -wml. (wonder what I was thinking! :D )

if using the correct flag everything works as it should.

I do have a question though to the Motif people: is the wmd database platform dependent and if so, what do you do if you want to build a new db on for instance Solaris where openmotif is not available due to it's non-opensource status?
