In some initial attempts to compile and link g++ sources using the X Intrinsics plus X Widget set, I noticed some errors. Namely the g++ compiler has problems with the declaration typedef char *String; in Intrinsic.h. Linking seems to fail (link with X11,Xw,Xt,Xaw,Xmu,g++) complaining about Xlib functions not being found. (e.g. XFillRectangle). I suspect that either (a) I'm forgetting to add an important include file/lib or (b) the g++ connection to X is only robust given some kit like Interviews, etc. Anyway, seems as though attempting to write Xt applications in g++ should be somewhat common. Refs appreciated. Confused. Charles Earl ILS (708)467-1004

I am experiencing some initial difficulty compiling and linking g++ source which makes use of X Intrinsics and Widget set. Compiler complains about the following declaration in Intrinsics.h typedef char *String The linker also seems not to be able to locate Xlib functions (e.g. XFillRectangle ). I link with X11,Xaw,Xt,Xw,Xmu, and g++. I suppose either (a) I failed to add some important include file/or library (this code simply puts up a button however, and seems to compile fine under gcc), or (b) there is some incompatability with g++ and Xt and I should wait for Interviews or some such toolkit.

the g++ compiler has problems
with the declaration
typedef char *String;
in Intrinsic.h.
Sounds like you haven't installed fixes 10&11.daniel@osf.org (Daniel Dardailler) (08/09/90)
Did you already apply the official MIT fixes (from 1 to 14) before
to use g++ with Xt and X ?
If not, I guess this is your problem.
