Summary: any brilliant setups out there? Keywords: Sun, Motif, X11R3, X11R4 Message-ID: <1261@island.uu.net> Date: 8 Jan 90 21:02:57 GMT Reply-To: daniel@island.uu.net ((Dan Smith - "measure twice, cut once")) Organization: Island Graphics, Marin County, California Lines: 23 Let's discuss for a moment "how to get all of this to coexist?" :-) I'm wondering how people out there have set up R3 and R4, with and without Motif (libs, includes), all on the same machine. I'm referring to things like /usr/lib/libX11.a, /usr/lib/libX11_motif.a, Motif includes vs Standard R3, /usr/bin/X11 vs what? (/usr/bin/X11R4?) I sure wish there were variant links on Suns (something I like about Apollos!). There's got to be a few good ways - I'd like to hear them. The less confusing I can make things for programmers/other users here the better. My thoughts lean towards using environment variables and symlinks in (hopefully!) straightforward ways. Oh, and just to make things more interesting...X{NeWS,View}, Open* as well :-) Thanks in advance for input! dan -- dansmith@well.sf.ca.us daniel@island.uu.net unicom!daniel@pacbell.com ph: (415) 332 3278 (h), 491 1000 (w) disclaimer: Island's coffee was laced :-)
