3704.0. "Problems with IFT V3 with MOTIF toolkit" by CLOSET::ACKERMAN () Wed Nov 21 1990 08:50

	I'm having serious problems trying to run my application under V3.  
    	I just had IFT V3 DECwindows installed on my system (VMS 5.4) and I
    	am building my application using the Motif toolkit.  Originally I
    	ported from XUI to Motif and was using the 1.0 developers kit with
    	DECwindows V2, everything worked just fine.  Then when I upgraded
    	to V3, everything is broken now, all the way from the UIL to
    	getting Xerror events and stack dumps when I do a fetch. I never
    	changed the UIL or my C sources.  My uil file compiles, but several
    	things are missing from the interface and it appears that the
    	geometry has completely changed, the spacing for one.  When I click
    	in a text widget I get repeated X Error events: BadWindow and 
    	BadDrawable(invalid Window parameter) and no insertion cursor appears.
	On a fetch I am getting X error events from server: BadValue on
    	(X_CreateWindow) and BadWindow on (X_MapSubWindows) with stack
    	dumps following.
    	

  In my makefile I define the following:
   	define/nolog c$include decw$include,sys$library
        define/nolog vaxc$include c$include
        define/nolog Dxm c$include
        define/nolog X11 c$include
        define/nolog Mrm c$include
        define/nolog Xm c$include

  and link with the following:
         sys$library:img$objlib.olb/library, -
         sys$library:cda$access/share, -
         sys$library:decw$dxmlibshr/share, -
         sys$library:decw$xmlibshr/share, -
         sys$library:decw$xlibshr/share, -
         sys$library:vaxcrtl.exe/share

    Am I missing some intrinsics information or something?  Is the Motif
    1.1 developers kit the exact same as DECwindows V3?  What are the UIL
    differences between Motif 1.0 and V3 with Motif?  I am totally baffled
    and really frustrated.  I have looked everywhere for a discussion on
    this topic, but haven't had much luck.                              
    
    Is anyone else having these problems?

Thanks for any help. If you need more info, please ask, send mail or
call me (DTN 381-0809), CLOSET::ACKERMAN.

The Motif V1.1 Release Notes has some information on differences between
V1.0 and V1.1.  I have no idea how complete it is.

It was built from the same code base, so it was functionally 
equivalent at that point in time (right before V3 IFT).
Of course, bug fixes, performance enhancements, etc..
continue in the V3 code stream...
