Some people in our group use Motif/XWindows for GUI to their programs.
I'm told that Desqview/X comes bundled with the DJGPP port of gcc.
We have no experience in our group with Desqview/X (yet).
I would like to hear from DJGPP users who have ported X-applications
to Desqview/X and the possible problems encountered during the port.
To avoid massive bandwidth on this list, I would like to ask to send
your contribution directly to me, and I'll post a summary to this list.
Some questions:
- What do I need to compile X-Windows programs with Desqview/X ?
(libraries, tools ?)
- Are the following libraries provided/available: -lXm -lXt -lX11 ?
Which other X-libraries are needed and/or provided ?
- I know the people here use 'xdesigner' (on UNIX) for GUI design.
If you have experience with this product too: Can the generated
code be compiled directly by DJGPP ?
- Can you give a (rough) time estimation on the total time required
for porting an application to Desqview/X ? Or just recompile ?!?
- Any (known) omissions in the Desqview/X libraries ?
How about limiations on program size and/or data size ?
- Do you know of (public domain) X-applications which have been
ported to Desqview/X ? I have seen ports of XV and TGIF on SIMTEL.
- Personal experiences...
All contributions are much appreciated !
