Re: Xaw3d struct size bogosity [was: Subwindow clipping]

SJT> Debian (unstable == potato, current as of a couple days ago) supplies SJT> both the standard libXaw.so and a libXaw3d.so, by those names, in SJT> /usr/X11R6/lib. This is unlikely to go away since there are several SJT> programs that don't seem to coexist with Athena 3D for some reason. SJT> `ln -sf libXaw3d.so.6.1 libXaw.so' and bingo! no errors. But I don't SJT> think I want to do this permanently. SJT> Or do I? (Advice, please.) i doubt it. at least when i tried running this way several years ago, i would eventually always find some program that would crap out on the Xaw3d libs. So I've always kept them separate. SJT> If not, Would it be reasonable for ./configure (once it has decided to SJT> use Xaw3d) to test for the existence of libXaw3d.so (and maybe SJT> libXaw3d.a, but maybe not) and do `-lXaw3d' instead of `-lXaw' in that SJT> case? Ideally it would be nice if there was a way to specify this in configure. Until then, I have this in my build script for the xaw3d case: if [ $1 = "xaw3d" ]; then mv src/Makefile src/Makefile.orig mv src/GNUmakefile src/GNUmakefile.orig sed -e s/-lXaw/-lXaw3d/ src/Makefile.orig > src/Makefile sed -e s/-lXaw/-lXaw3d/ src/GNUmakefile.orig > src/GNUmakefile fi
