Marchand" Organization: Purdue University User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Geomview compilation under cygwin ... Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned-ECN: by AMaVIS version 11 (perl 5.8) (http://amavis.org/) I followed the instructions on http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html about compiling geomview under cygwin. I had to acquire the forms library for Win32 from a different source http://ftp.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/links/unix/desktop/xforms/NT/GnuWIN32/ since they seem to be temporarily unavailable from the xforms website (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xforms). At any rate, everything seems to configure and compile fine. However, once I type in "geomview" and hit return, the computer thinks about it for a few seconds and then the prompt returns to normal and there is no geomview process running. No error messages are ever sent to the screen so I don't know what is going on. If I type "geomview -debug" instead I get the following message: Warning: XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent "Geomview" which supports only widgets. I tried compiling it with both the gcc 3 and gcc 2.95.3, they both appear to compile but do nothing. I only had to make one modification to the instructions listed in http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html. I could not find the DtPrint library that is referenced in these instructions so I just left it out. Now, the default compiler is 3.x. So, to compile with 2.95.3, I copied the gcc-2.exe executable to gcc.exe and stored gcc.exe under another name. I hope that's all I had to do. Also, I tried running under both mwm and twm and same thing happens. Just for kicks, I went into the /usr/local/Geomview/bin directory and typed ./example and the "Velocity" window comes up so at least something comes works partially. I can also compile and run savi under cygwin without any problems, of course without the Geomview 3D visualization part. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?
