[comp.windows.x] Unknown Toolkit procedures

BUCKHOLTZ_G%RMC.CA@MITVMA.MIT.EDU (08/02/90)

Hi!
      I just received Motif1.0 for my Apollo workstations and
I have been having problems compliling applications that use
motif. Whenever I link I get several unresolved refrences that
were refered to in the Motif library. Symbols such as

         XtWidgetCallCallbacks,
         XtGrabKey,
         XtGrabKeyboard.

Obviously these are functions that Motif expected to be resolved
in the X Intrinsics toolkit. I am using a X11R3 toolkit. Could
someone tell me to what version of Xt these symbols belong?
I looked in my docs of Intrinsics and I couldn't find them.

               thanks,
                     Glenn Buckholtz

You have to use the version of Xt that comes with Motif1.0.  The Motif
Xt is "almost X11R4".  I understand that the next version of Motif will
work with the X11R4 Xt.

 Yes, with certain R4 Xt patches which will be provided with Motif 1.1.

Ah, so let me see if I understand this correctly.  Motif 1.1 will *NOT*
work with (MIT) X11 Release 4, with or without the current set of patches.

Presumably this also means that any application developer with an X11
binary system derived from MIT release 4 who goes out and buys the OSF
source product will find that it does *NOT* work with the binary version
of Xt which he or she possesses.

I accept that the Xt implementation in MIT release 4 might not conform to
the standard (as expressed by the documentation), but most high quality
application software developers deal with this by working round the
problems and leave the actual fixes to the people who supplied the erroneous
software.  This has obvious advantages.

At some point in the very near future the Xt patch train will catch up
with Motif 1.1.  At that time Motif 1.1 will work with MIT Xt and the
then current patches.
