The lesstif package contains an Open Source version of OSF/Motif(R).
lesstif depends on: xfree86-4.3.0 |
Install lesstif by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-build-20 \ --enable-build-21 \ --disable-debug \ --enable-production \ --disable-build-tests \ --with-xdnd && make && make install |
--enable-build-20 : Build the Motif 2.0 compatible version of the lesstif libraries.
--enable-build-21 : Also build the Motif 2.1 compatible versions.
--disable-debug : Do not generate debugging information.
--enable-production : Build the release version of the lesstif libraries.
--disable-build-tests : Do not build the test/ tree(see testing note below).
--with-xdnd : Enable XDND Gnome compatibility support.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
It is advisable to test the installation of lesstif with the test suite located in lesstif-0.93.36/test. It is not required to install any of the resulting binaries to validate the installation, the following commands, executed in lesstif-0.93.36/test, will suffice:
./configure && make |
