I've got a customer who's interested in DECwindows on ULTRIX, but
doesn't want to learn C -- they'd like to user Fortran. On my
VS2 system, I see files like:
/usr/lib/xlibstructs.for
/usr/lib/Xlib_mit.jbl
/usr/lib/Xlib_vax.jbl
Looking at the .jbl files, I suspect that I can use these from
fortran (VAX Fortran) to call Xlib routines, but I don't see
anything comparable for the DW toolkit.
I was poking around on a DS3100,
and noticed some libraries that suggest fortran support, such as:
/usr/lib/libX11F77.a
/usr/lib/libdwtF77.a
This suggests support for the toolkit and Xlib, but I can't turn
up any documentation for fortran support for either system.
Anyone got any pointers?
regards,
GEorge

| 1100.1 | I was wondering when this would get asked.. | DECWIN::JACKIE | Jackie Ferguson | Thu Jul 13 1989 12:03 | 15 |
Some vax binding definition files were not present some UWS release. (I don't know their numbers, maybe 2.1 and 2.2) You can either right them yourself (yuck!) or contact an Ultrix support person to see if you can get a copy. I don't know if this problem has been fixed yet, and what release will have the files. I don't know what they did for documentation, but you could use the VMS documentation, the reference manuals contain the definitions for both bindings, and there is a vax binding xlib programming guide, and an appendix in the application programming guide (toolkit.) Note, this is for the vax, for the pmax, there is a different fortran compiler, and different bindings, which are closer to the mit bindings than the vax bindings. Jackie Ferguson | |||||
| 1100.2 | where can I get information? | POBOX::CHALTAS | K�nigin, G�ttin, la� mich sein! | Mon Jul 17 1989 16:53 | 13 |
Well
1) I *am* an ULTRIX support person.
2) Is there any documentation for any of this?
I know what to do about the .jbl files on ULTRIX/VAX, and can
augment them as needed, but I havent a clue as to how to use
the *F77.a libraries on the ULTRIX/RISC machine, and there's
nothing in our documentation about it. I do know that the
parameters can not be identical to the MIT-style C bindings
in all cases, but that's about all I know...
