Openmotif installation
I need to install OpenMotif (because I need to use a graphics program, Grace, and lesstiff produces a crash with some of its functions)
My problem is making sure I have the right X11 bin, include and libs directories, since there are a number of X11 and X11R6 directories : "To unpack the distribution, create a directory to hold all of the sources and untar everything into that directory: % mkdir $MOTIFSOURCEDIR % cd $MOTIFSOURCEDIR If you unpack the distribution, you will have the following subdirectory under $MOTIFSOURCEDIR: motif" ok, so I made /usr/OPENMOTIF and put the tarball there. Unpacking it, there is the motif directory, so so far so good "Create a build directory that is not a subdirectory of the Motif master source directory, for example: % mkdir $MOTIFBUILDDIR Create a symbolic link tree using the following command: % lndir $MOTIFSOURCEDIR $MOTIFBUILDDIR where $MOTIFSOURCEDIR is the Motif master source directory. Note that the directory containing the lndir program must be in your $PATH. Note that the builds described below must be done in the order given:" ok, so mkdir /usr/OPENMOTIFBUILD lndir /usr/OPENMOTIF /usr/OPENMOTIFBUILD " 1. Customize $MOTIFBUILDDIR/motif/config/cf/site.def to reflect local preferences for install locations, compilers, paths, etc. Note that the default install location is /usr/dt, and is probably not the one you want. You should change it to where you want Motif to be installed, probably /usr. 2. If you are building with imports (the default setup in site.def), construct the necessary links as follows: % cd $MOTIFBUILDDIR/motif % mkdir -p imports/x11 % cd imports/x11 % ln -s <X11_bin_directory> bin % ln -s <X11_includes_directory> include % ln -s <X11_libs_directory> lib " Here is my problem. What directories do they mean? /usr/bin/X11 is the bin directory? What should I look for to know for sure which are the right directories(BTW, my installation is Slack 9) |
