I have a question regarding the relationship between DECwindows/MOTIF V3 IFT kit and the OSF MOTIF developer's kit. At one point in time, I had the OSF MOTIF V1.0 kit installed. We were (and are) creating applications to run under MOTIF as well as (old)DECwindows. The other day, I installed the DECwindows V3 IFT kit with programming support for VAX C and MIT C. The build procedures we used to build our applications no longer work. I found that all the files under SYS$COMMON:[DECW$MOTIF...] are gone. Questions: - Does this mean that the MOTIF developer's kit is not necessary if I've installed the DECwindows V3 IFT kit? Do I just link against the standard DECwindows files to get a MOTIF application? - If yes, how can I make standard old DECwindows interface apps (not MOTIF)? (We still support those too). - If no, then if I install the MOTIF V1.1 kit after the DECwindows V3IFT kit, will this mess anything up or replace any current files with "less than current" files? Any help would be appreciated. -Mike

Yes. The developer's kit is not necessary.

You link them the same way you always did (i.e. against
DECW$DWTLIBSHR). Note that there are a few changes in the Intrinsics
which are specified in the toolkit release notes. You pick up
these changes when you re-link your application.

However, the IFT kit for DECwindows V3 seems to include none of the
examples that are on the Developer's kit. Not even Motif versions of
HelloWorld and DECburger.

| 3594.3 | it's nice to have shareable images | DECWIN::LEMBREE | Just do it. | Wed Nov 07 1990 11:02 | 7 |
Mike, One big advantage that you'll find in using V3 instead of the devo's kit is that your images will be smaller because the toolkit on V3 is a shareable image, and the devo's kit libraries aren't. Rob | |||||
