[comp.windows.x] Weird resources problem

Christian.Molick@CS.CMU.EDU (08/18/90)

Dig this,

I'm working on a user interface project on a SPARCstation under SunOS
and using X11r4 with the Intrinsics and Athaena widgets. Recently,
I started using a different organization of my directories and new
names for the program's modules and executable code. I also link
directly to the object files, instead of making them into a library.
Suddenly...poof! The resources (all in a large file in app-defaults) do
not load. The class name I initialized the toolkit stuff with is the
same,
and there are no changes to the code itself - only the directories in
which it is found and the names of files are different. The old
executable
is still around, and runs fine (gets all resources, etc). The new version
can't get its resources. I tried starting with a different class name
at startup, one that was a first-letter capitalized version of the new
name, but that didn't work either. I also tried putting all of the
resources
in my .Xdefaults file, but it doesn't load those either.
I've started tracing through GetResources in dbx, but it's very confusing
and all I can say for sure is that no resources of any kind are returned.

All help most appreciated, thanks in advance, etc..
