One such window manager is olwm, which supports the OPEN -LOOK (TM) user interface. Further, XView requires full ICCCM -support in Xlib. This is the standard in the X Window System -Version 11, Release 5. In order to run under Release 3, you must -define the PRE_R4_ICCCM compile-time flag (see config/XView.cf) -and the set resource, xview.icccmcompliant, to False in the -.Xdefaults file (see the xview man page). This release of XView -was only tested (executing the builds, and running the binaries) -on X11 R5. - - -Contents --------- -The XView release contains the following: - -lib/libxview The XView toolkit -lib/libolgx The OLGX toolkit (used by XView and olwm) -clients/clock An XView clock application. -clients/cmdtool An XView terminal emulator. -clients/olwm The OPENLOOK window manager. -clients/olwmslave 'helper' program for olwm. -contrib/examples A bunch of XView examples. -fonts/bdf The OPENLOOK fonts required for Pre-R4 based servers. -doc Documentation about XView. -misc/message_files Message file templates for localization. -misc/xrdb_files X resource files for olwm/XView 3.2 - -The unpacked source is ~20meg -You'll need an additional 18meg to do a complete build. (assuming shared libs) -To install everything, you'll need about 8.5meg. - - -Building the Release --------------------- -This release of XView was tested on these systems: - SparcStation 10, SunOS 5.2 - SparcStation 2, SunOS 5.2 - SparcStation 1, SunOS 4.1.2 - -Like X11, XView uses imake to configure the Makefiles for a particular -system. The Makefiles delivered with this release are probably not -configured correctly for your system. New Makefiles will need -to be generated from the Imakefiles. In order to do this, -the following items are required: - - 1. Installed X11 R5 - - a. X11 header files. - b. X11 libraries. - c. X11 config directory. - - 2. If you set XvI18nLevel to 4 in config/XView.cf, Asian locale - support will be built in XView, and olwm. In this case, for - olwm to work properly, the Xlib library (libX11) has to be - built with internationalization support. If this cannot be - done, config/XView.tmpl will have to be edited for the clients/olwm - build as follows. Change the line: - - XVCLIENTI18NDEFINES = -DOW_I18N_L4 -DOW_I18N_L3 -DOW_I18N -DFULL_R5 - - to - - XVCLIENTI18NDEFINES = -DOW_I18N_L3 -DOW_I18N -DFULL_R5 - - 3. Compiled versions of imake and makedepend must be found - in your $PATH. If you are building the fonts you'll - need the X11 font compilers in your path too. The fonts - are only needed if you are building for a Pre-R4 server. - - -Assuming R5 is installed in /foobar/R5, the X11 config directory is -in /foobar/R5/lib/X11, and compiled versions of imake and makedepend -should be found in /foobar/R5/bin. - -The XView release provides an additional set of rules and configuration -parameters that are necessary to build the release. These can be -found in ./config. Most notably is ./config/XView.cf which contains -XView specific build options. This file should be read before a build -is attempted. XView.cf, by default, is designed for building XView 3.2 -on Solaris 2.2. - -################ -NOTE (IMPORTANT) -################ -The default configuration will build XView with Asian locale support -(turned on by -DOW_I18N). This requires the presence of Sun private -header files (i.e. XSunExt.h) available only with Solaris 2.2. It is -included by the build via "-I$(OPENWINHOME)/include". -Therefore, the default configuration requires Solaris 2.2 to be -installed. If it is not installed, Asian locale support has to be turned -off by setting XvI18nLevel (in config/XView.cf) to 3. This has to be done -for builds done on SunOS 4.x as well. - -In the source release of XView 3.0, we used 'xstr' in shared library -builds. 'xstr' was used to extract string literals from the source which -was then put into an array which was indexed into instead of using the -string literal directly. We have removed this functionality for this -release. Most compilers already have options (-strconst, -xstrconst) -to insert string literals into the text segment instead of the data -segment. Building without xstr is also much faster. - -But, if your builds fail with: - - "GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE overflown" - -then, you should revert back to the old way of doing things, with 'xstr'. -This can be done as follows (in the config directory): - - a. mv XView.rules XView.rules.bak - b. cp XView.rules.xstr XView.rules - - -Here is what you need to do to build: - - 1. Set the environment variable IMAKEINCLUDE to point to both the - R5 config directory and the XView config directory. - Examples, first one for csh, second for sh: - - % setenv IMAKEINCLUDE -I`pwd`/config -I/foobar/R5/lib/X11/config - or - $ IMAKEINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/config -I/foobar/R5/lib/X11/config" - $ export IMAKEINCLUDE - - 2. Set the OSMajorVersion and OSMinorVersion variables in the - appropriate <X11>/config/*.cf files. - - 3. Double-check the parameters in <X11>/config/site.def. - - 4. Double-check the build options in ./config/XView.cf. - There are comments in this file to explain what each option - is for. Among other things, this is where you can define where you - want XView to be installed. - - 5. Type "imake -DUseInstalled -I<X11>/lib/X11/config -I./config" - Type make World >& make.world &" - (do not name the log file make.log or it will get deleted). - This will build libxview and libolgx. - - 6. Check the log file for any errors. The release should build - without any problems on sun4 with SunOS 4.x and sun4 with - SunOS 5.x. - - 7. As root, type "make install". See tail end of log file for - special directions for shared libraries, if used. - - 8. Type "make Clients >& make.clients &" - This will cause the programs in ./clients to be built. - - 9. Type "make Contrib >& make.contrib &" - This will cause the examples in ./contrib to be built. - - 10. Type "make 'SUBDIRS=clients contrib' install" - - 11. Type "make 'SUBDIRS=clients contrib' install.man" - - 12. Type "make 'SUBDIRS=clients contrib' install.srcs" - - 13. Documents, release notes, known bugs are in the doc directory. - Can install these with "make -k 'SUBDIRS=doc' install". - - 14. When done, can get rid of all compiled files and links used - during the build with: "make Clean" - -Building a lint library is not yet supported. +This package contains all the configurations files needed for use of +the XView libraries and applications. Source Notes ------------ @@ -202,53 +18,3 @@ This version of the XView source corresponds to that provided with OpenWindows Version 3.2 from SunSoft Inc.

X11R5 was -build for the SunOS 5.2 system using the base MIT X11R5 source and -the R5.SunOS5.patch in the contrib directory on export.lcs.mit.edu. -While efforts have been made to keep the toolkit portable to other -platforms, you may encounter problems. Please inform us of the -porting problems you find. Send email to xviewbugs@Eng.Sun.COM -and we will attempt to evaluate the problem and possibly include -a fix in a future patch or release. - - -Build Environment Notes ------------------------ -The style of the build environment has been outlined by the X.V11 Release 5 -build environment from MIT. "Outlined" is used instead of "defined" since -there is no standard procedure for X software builds. The precedent is set -by the X Consortium for certain procedures and conventions; however, since -these conventions are neither reviewed nor documented, they cannot always -be followed. As much as possible, the conventions used in the X11R5 build -have been followed in the XView build. - -If you've not used imake before, there is a document which explains how -it works in doc/config/usenixws. The easiest way to think of it is creating a -Makefile description language with CPP macros. The order in which files -are included will define which CPP rules and variables are active. - -The configuration files specific to XView all begin with "XView." -The "XView.cf" file is one meant to easily choose certain build or -configuration options. The "XView.tmpl" file defines common configurations -for XView and is included by each Imakefile. All relevant variables -defined in the XView.tmpl file may be changed in the site.def file by -pre-defining the appropriate CPP variable. Both files are heavily -commented to explain what each option does. The other files, "XView.lib", -"XView.obj", and "XView.prog" are just a means of sharing common Imakefile -commands among many Imakefiles. The "XView.rules" file supplements the -"Imake.rules" file as supplied by X11R5. - - -Feedback --------- -While the XView team makes every effort to watch the ``net'' for questions -and problems with XView some messages may slip by. The xviewbugs@Eng.Sun.COM -alias has been created to provide a means for XView source product customers -to send input to the XView engineers. If you find problems or have -comments on XView, please forwarded them to this alias. We appreciate -any and all input. |
