[comp.windows.x] compiling xdbx 2.0

bill@polygen.uucp (Bill Poitras) (07/31/90)

I pulled xdbx.tar.Z from expo.lcs.mit.edu, which is for X11R3.  When I tryed
to compile it, Paned.h isn't found, for the very reason, it doens't exist
in our X distribution.  It also didn't exist on an X distribution on a public
ftp site qed.rice.edu (128.42.4.38).  After linking VPaned.h to Paned.h
XawTextPosition was an unresolved type in defs.h.  My question to you is:
What X11R3 are you using?  What am I doing wrong?  Just a few thoughts.  
I find xdbx to be a fine piece of software, I use 1.1 frequently.  Hope
you can help me.  Thanks in advance.

Though the README file in xdbx.tar.Z from expo says it's for X11R3,
it actually is for X11R4.  If you are running R4, you can grab
xdbx2.1.tar.Z on expo.

There used to be an xdbx2.0 source for X11R3 under oldcontrib on expo 
but that directroy has already been removed.

It's been my experience that the Paned.h is distributed with X11R4.
I've had the same problems with sources developed on R4 platforms for
R3.
