-< ULTRIX Decwindows and DRM/UIL >-
Customer Problem
I have a customer who is developing a 'client' under X windows
on a VS2000. (Bear with me I am not really familiar with low
level X stuff!).
He claims that the documentation (!) he has tells him to link
a library called DRM into his code (along with dwt and X11),
however this library (and another referred to called Xmu) are
not supplied in his UWS kit.
Can anyone explain :-
a) Why these are mentioned and not supplied
b) How he can get around the problem of not having these libs
c) What a client is
d) Why the docs refer to something that isn't there (this
is not the first person looking for Xmu)
and e) whether I (UK/CSC) can get hold of some DECwindows ULTRIX
programming docs without waiting 6 wks for the paper
copies.
Cheers
Les

libdrm.a used to be a separate library, but it has been in libdwt.a for a long time. libdwt.a gives you all of the DECwindows toolkit. You must have old docs. libXmu.a didn't ship in 2.0, but it is in 2.1. Jeff | |||||

Old docs! We (UK TSC Ultrix Support) have no docs (on order!)
for DECwindows at all, the customer has the docs (on field
test apparently).
Any idea on the other questions?

| 1129.3 | UWS Version 2.1 is your answer | FUEL::graham | Send in the Clones! | Thu Jul 20 1989 00:22 | 21 |
ULTRIX Worksystem Software Version 2.0 will fix all the problems that you mentioned in .0. So, please advise your customer appropriately. Here is how you compile UIL files for Ultrix. dxuil -o X.uid X.uil (X is an application's name...there is a default .uid file though.. if you do not specify a .uid file) (link source files to /usr/include/mit/X11 if vanilla MIT code is used to build core X application). The Xmu.h file is included with UWS 2.1. Kris.. | |||||
