[comp.windows.x] Mixing Openwindows and mit-X11

bglenden@mandrill.cv.nrao.edu (Brian Glendenning) (11/06/90)

This is probably a common problem although I didn't see it on the FAQ
list. Please email solutions to me and I will provide a summary to the
list if there is any interest.

I have OpenWindows 2 installed on my Sun 4/110. I wanted to install
some things on my system that required Xmu and Xaw, so I compiled and
installed them from the MIT sources (through patch 18). At run time I
got "Warning: Widget class Form version mismatch (recompilation
needed); widget 11004 vs. intrinsics 11003." errors. A usually
reliable source (:-) tells me that the problem is a mix-up in Sun vs
MIT Xt.

What is the best solution for this - do I need to keep 2 versions of
the library lying around? How about the .h files, they seem to differ
as well. Thanks!

Brian

This is the biggest complaint I have with OpenLook.  I have never seen
the source available anywhere (although that does not mean they are
not).  At least when I have similar problems with Motif, I just
recompile the whole shooting match, and they go away.  Granted, this
isn't the greatest way to spend a day, but until X comes up with a
better mechanism, I find this much better than keeping around two
copies of the libraries.
