Lines: 23 In-reply-to: daniel@island.uu.net's message of 8 Jan 90 21:02:57 GMT I put the includes, libs, binaries, etc in /usr/local/...., so I have always made changes to the site.def to relocate this files. When I also wanted to run Motif and XView along side X11, I just made changes in their site.def files to put the code in places like /usr/local/lib/[Motif,XView]. I did this for the includes, and binaries on Motif and XView, but only includes and binaries on X11. All three use the use the same /usr/local/lib/X11 for fonts, app_defualts, etc. Its painfull to setup, but once its in place its easy to maintain. As far as the users are concerned, I have a set of scripts to setup the appropriate environment based on whether they want to run X11, Motif or XView. They already have to add "-L..." and "-l...." to the cc command, so they just set it to what they are using for the program they are working on. It would be nice to have the variant links, then you could just set an environment variable and everything would be ready to use. -- Alan Bair SPS CAD Logic Simulation & Test Motorola, Inc.
