I have just installed R4 on our Sequent balance and it works great, EXCEPT i have trouble when i try to "make" anything. I do a xmkmf, a make depend, and then a make, an I get back: Make: Don't know how to make -lXaw. Stop. Now, libXaw.a exists, and is compiled properly, so why is it doing this? Also this happens sometimes with -lXext and -lXt. Confused in Computerland, Scott Larsen larsen@mist.cs.orst.edu

It doesn't say you don't have libXaw.o; it says you don't have a file named "-lXaw". Someone has overloaded the $(LIBS) macro for use in both compilation/linking and in dependencies.

While that's possible, it's as likely (and maybe more so) that the Imakefile in question is written using LOCAL_LIBRARIES and worked under R3. In R4, there is a new macro called DEPLIBS, which is set to $(LOCAL_LIBRARIES) by default, unless you are running shared libraries on a Sun. As Guy Harris once pointed out, it probably shouldn't be set to anything by default, and there may be an official MIT patch changing this, but I couldn't find it (Guy? Bob?). I know I changed it in mine and it works fine. The easiest fix is to define DEPLIBS as being empty, but it might be more correct to define it like LOCAL_LIBRARIES, with "DEP" prepended to each library name, as in DEPLIBS = $(DEPXAWLIB) $(DEPXMULIB) $(DEPXTOOLLIB) $(DEPXLIB) or, better still, DEPLIBS = XawClientDepLibs (Note: I did try to mail this answer to the original poster, but it bounced somewhere down the line.

I was just pointing out that the library definition used for compilation/linking, e.g. LinkLibs = -lXaw -lXt and the library definition used for dependencies, e.g. DependencyLibs = libXaw.a libXt.a have different (though parallel) formats and should not interchanged.
