[comp.sys.hp] Motif for Sun SPARC-stations

bentz@ge.UUCP (Ray Bentz) (03/26/91)

I'm looking for information regarding Motif for Sun SPARC-stations.

I want to know if anyone has had luck (good and otherwise) porting the
OSF/Motif 1.1 release to Sun.

Also, info on other vendors (ICS, etc) and your experience with them would
be helpful.

     I'm a bit curious as to why you made your request to comp.sys.hp, but
we use Motif 1.1 on Sun SPARCstations quite extensively.  Personally, I'm
using 1.0 on an HP, but we do have another project within TCS which is
using the aforementioned combination.

     As I'm not on that project specifically, I don't know if there were
any significant problems doing the port, but I doubt it.  In fact, I doubt
the work could even be called a port, but rather was a re-compile.
