This directory contains binary distributions of Open Motif for a number of hardware and OS platforms as well as the source and PDF documentation distributions. The binary distributions are split in two parts -- a runtime kit, named openmotif-2.1.30... and a development kit, named openmotif-devel-2.1.30... The runtime kit contains only the Open Motif shared libraries and Motif Window Manager (mwm) and associated configuration files and utilities. The development kit contains the remaining archive libraries (optimized and with debug symbols), the Open Motif demonstration source code and compiled demos, the majority of the Open Motif documentation in PostScript format, and the API man pages. When installing the development kit, the runtime kit should also be installed. The binary distributions are provided in RPM, DEB, and gzipped tar file formats. You should choose the format appropriate for your platform. In the following, ${dist} is meant to represent the ${cdrom-mount-point}/openmotif directory. To install the RPM files, login as root and: % cd ${dist}/linux-rpm/${arch} % rpm -Uvh openmotif*.rpm To install the DEB files, login as root and: % cd ${dist}/linux-deb/binary_i386 % dpkg -i openmotif*.deb To install a gzipped tar file, login as root and: % cd / % gzcat ${dist}/${tgz-dir}/${arch}/openmotif-2.1.30... | tar xvf - % gzcat ${dist}/${tgz-dir}/${arch}/openmotif-devel... | tar xvf - % ldconfig % echo "#define TopLevelProject Motif" >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/host.def The Open Motif binary distributions were built on the following unmodified OS distributions: Alpha Linux RedHat Linux 6.1 PowerPC Linux LinuxPPC 2000 SPARC Linux RedHat Linux 6.1 x86 Linux CorelLinux 1.0 x86 FreeBSD FreeBSD 3.4 See the file ${cdrom-mount-point}/supported.txt for the list of platorms on which the binary distributions were tested. NOTE: The binary distributions contain PostScript versions of the Motif Documentation set. Some people have reported problems displaying these with commonly available PostScript viewers. For this reason the Open Group is in the process of replacing the PostScript files with PDF versions of the same. The PDF files are provided on this CD-ROM in the ${cdrom-mount-point}/openmotif/doc directory. Additionally, a gzipped tar file containing the entire documentation set is in this same directory.
