Yes, please!
There have been a few scattered reports from Linux people with LessTif
of crashes immediately on execution. Suddenly, I got one. If most
Motif platforms build _and run_ OK, I'll release anyway, and warn that
Linux + Motif is bad juju, and try and get 21.4.10 out with a fix
ASAP.
If other platforms are hosed, too, we should try to fix it first.
If you can get a Motif build, and then run it and pop up an X frame
and do a little editing and maybe read some Info, that's good enough
for now. But I'd like to do that much testing before releasing.
Duh. RedHat's beta contains a 21.4.8 which is built with OpenMotif
widgets and dialogs. I've been running a modified version of their RPM
(21.4.9rc1) for some time now with no problems.
I'll build 21.4.9rc2 with OpenMotif as soon as I get my hands on it (the
ftp site seems to be still down) and try it out. I'll also notify the
RH folks about this, as soon as I have a mailing list archive link to
point to.
What's the recommended way to build an XEmacs on Linux with widgets? I
tried to build one some time ago with Lucid widgets, but IIRC just
didn't get widgets at all when doing that. Would athena be the way to
go?
Motif doesn't seem to be, and still it's used if autodetected, no matter
what --with-widgets and -dialogs one wants (also IIRC, and 21.4.9rc1).
