I'm trying to compile UIL module of the periodic table of widgets for Motif 1.1
using Motif 1.0 (Unfortunately our school has been slow to update
to Motif 1.1 !!). A problem that I keep encountering is with quoted
strings for example if the following line was in an ARGUMENTS section:
XmNlabelString = 'a problem';
or
XmNlabelString = "another problem";
The UIL compiler would not tell me about any errors, but the UIL compiler
core dumps and produces an empty output file. To get around that problem
I kept changing all of those lines to:
XmNlabelString = compound_string('a problem');
or
XmNlabelString = compound_string("another problem");
That kludge seemed to do fine. Now it core dumps in the arguments section
containing:
XmNfontList = font('-adobe-.........');
and I cannot seem to get around this problem.
My question is: Was there a problem with Motif 1.0 UIL that did not
allow quoted strings (like those examples) and if there was how do
you get around this ?
Thanks in advance,
-Gil
