Addendum to the Open Motif Release Notes

Using the Source RPM to Build Open Motif

To build the Open Motif sources from the Source RPM, do the following:

	% rpm -Uvh openmotif-2.1.30-2_ICS.src.rpm
	% cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
	% rpm -bb --buildroot=/tmp/motif openmotif-2.1.30.spec

This will build the Open Motif binary RPM files using /tmp/motif as a temporary
install directory so as not to overwrite any system files during the build
process.

Manual Source Code Installation and Build

The source distributed here incorporates a number of patches and changes
from that distributed directly by the Open Group.  These patches and changes
are distributed as separate "patch" files and source distributions.  You will
need to unpack the original Open Group source and then apply the changes.

 	% cd $MOTIFBUILDDIR
 	% gzcat openmotif-2.1.30-src.tgz | tar xvf -
	% gzcat openmotif-2.1.30-icsextra.tgz
 	% patch < openmotif-2.1.30-icsbuild.patch
 	% patch < openmotif-2.1.30-mwm.patch
	% chmod -R +w motif

The following changes have been made:

	* motif/config/cf directory:

		- The host.def file is configured with the variables ICS
		  used in its build of Open Motif on all our supported 
		  platforms.  The file distributed by the Open Group is
		  empty.
		  
	* motif/lib/Xm/Scale.c

		- Rather than blindly redefine the RADIXCHAR macro when
		  compiling on Linux, verify that RADIXCHAR is not defined
		  before #define-ing it.  The file distributed by the
		  Open Group is named Scale.c.opengroup.

	* motif/lib/Xm/TextF.c

		- The FreeBSD libc does not provide a number of wide
		  character string functions necessary to compile the
		  XmTextField widget.  We have added static implementations
		  of the missing functions to TextF.c on FreeBSD.  The file
		  distributed by the Open Group is named TextF.c.opengroup.

	* motif/clients/mwm/WmIconBox.c

		- A divide by zero problem in the MWM icon box was found
		  and corrected.

Build Instruction Changes

In addition to the instructions in RELNOTES you will also need to execute
the following commands before issuing "make World >& world.log" command.

	% cd $MOTIFBUILDDIR/motif/config/cf
	% mkdir OPENGROUP
	% mv * OPENGROUP
	% ln -s <X11_libs_directory>/X11/config/*
	% rm Motif.tmpl Motif.rules host.def
	% mv OPENGROUP/{Imakefile,Motif.tmpl,Motif.rules,host.def} .

After making these links you should may then continue with

	% cd $MOTIFBUILDDIR/motif
	% make World >& world.log
