[21.4 21.5 VETO] for athena widgets not being detected by default

21.4 21.5 VETO This was a couple months ago but AFAIK not yet resolved? Peter> ok have been doing cvs diff's an the configure script i Peter> noticed a new line that basically only checks for athena if Peter> it is specified as an option Peter> should athena be the default widget set used ??? _Motif_ is the default widget set used. This may not be appropriate now with very few newbies using Motif, and many many newbies using Athena variants under Linux. But I'm not going to change it in the stable branch, and I think we should be careful even on the trunk. Maybe if no widget_set after Motif, try Athena then. For now, I think that rather than try to do something "smart", we should default to telling the user he's shooting himself in the foot. In the part of configure that creates Installation, where the widget set is announced, if there is no widget set we should check for a window system. If there is a window system, warn the user that most modern window systems do support widgets and the missing functionality will be very noticable. Use --with-widgets, blah blah blah. A timely patch to that effect would go into 21.4.5; it'll have to wait for 21.4.6 or later if it's up to me. ;-) Peter> patch included below (this is my first patch so let me know Peter> if i did it wrong) The patch itself is fine. Do include a ChangeLog, either plaintext or as a [cvs] diff -U 0. Diffs should be taken from the top directory when possible. Doesn't matter here, but for src/alloc.c, the Index line should be Index: src/alloc.c not Index: alloc.c -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
