Which X11 lib under which #define ?

samrat_rao · 02-15-2009, 03:28 AM

Hi,
I am trying to compile a package that uses X11 libraries and headers. The package has a file that has these (macros?) lines:

Quote:

#define XToolLibrary
#define XLibrary

I am unable to figure out which X11 libraries should be under the #defines, in particular under which #defines must the following libs be:

-lXt -lSM -lICE -lXpm -lX11 -lXext -lXaw -lXm -lXmu

Thanks.

It is called NCL (NCAR Command Language). I am trying to compile for my openSUSE 11.0. The instructions say that i need these libraries:

Quote:

X11, Xaw, Xext, Xm, Xmu, Xt

.Is there any method to identify which of the libs:

Quote:

-lXt -lSM -lICE -lXpm -lX11 -lXext -lXaw -lXm -lXmu

fall under which of the #defines?

Try installing the xorg-dev package.

You will need these installed :

xorg-x11-devel ( also provides lXaw = libXaw.. )
xorg-x11-libICE-devel
xorg-x11-libSM-devel
xorg-x11-libXext-devel
xorg-x11-libXmu-devel
xorg-x11-libXpm-devel
xorg-x11-libXt-devel
openmotif-devel ( provides lXm = libXm.. )

If you need more, they can be searched with # 'zypper se <name>'
.....

Hi,
I already have all these devel packages installed. Maybe i was not being specific enough. The instructions for compiling the package NCL says that:

Quote:

At a minimum, you should have the following libraries (and associated include files) installed on your system: X11, Xaw, Xext, Xm, Xmu, Xt

But the libs under the macros are:

Code:

#define XToolLibrary    -lXt -lSM -lICE
#define XLibrary      -lX11 -lXext

So i am wondering about the other libs pertaining to Xm, Xmu, Xaw, Xt, Xext ie which of them need to be added to the respective #defines. I am not sure if the compilation is unsuccessful because of these libs.
The other error(s) i am getting during the compilation are like:

Quote:

sed: -e expression #3, char 404: unknown option to `s'
make[4]: *** [nhlf77] Error 1

I did a grep search for 'sed' in the respective directory but did not find sed being used. Due to this some shell scripts are not being made.

Are you quite sure you will not use an already compiled
and ready NCL binary ? ?
That is what is recommended :

We highly recommend that you use a precompiled NCL binary rather
than attempting a build from source code, unless you really like
this kind of thing. If you tried a precompiled binary and ran
into problems, you can post your problem to the ncl-install
email list.

Yes, i am aware of that. I wanted to compile for myself, just to see if i can. Out of some 1970 files that are in the precompiled binary, i managed to get 1960, and the basic tests are working (excluding those related to the missing files). The 10 missing files are in the directory bin and 9 of these are just shell scripts. So i thought that there could be some minor problems which i am unable to identify, like sed not working etc. But if you suggest that i stick to the precompiled binary i shall do so (at least for the time being!)
