Greetings,
on compilation of a MOTIF program I get the following warning,
"program.c",line 65:warning:illegal pointer/integer combination,op=
line 65 in the program is,
menubar=XmCreateMenuBar(form,"menubar",wargs,n);
menubar is defined as a Widget.
does anyone out there know what this error is caused by or how I can
get rid of it. I guess XmCreateMenuBar is generating an integer value
and menubar is a pointer type? Also how can I specify the width of
the menubar. specifying XmNwidth doesn't seem to work.

My favorite way to generate this error is to forget to #include the header file that goes with the XmCreateWhatever function. Then C assumes the function returns an integer so it doesn't like setting <the widget menubar> = <an integer>. In this case you need: #include <Xm/RowColumn.h> +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Rod Stephens | "Haven't I told you not to play | | GTE Laboratories, Inc | with my super-weapons?

-- I have run across this myself in coding and now I generally look to see if I have included the header file for the Widget I am creating since this contains the prototype for the XmCreateMenuBar or whatever routine you are calling. try putting... #include <Xm/MenuShell.h> at the top... the Motif Programmers reference lists which includes are needed on the pages describing the create rotuine you are using. Of course we dont all have those manuals... Brian dealy

You are probably missing the header file for that widget. Check the man page to see what header file it requires.
