Over the holidays, I got InterViews running well. It required some effort
at configuring and patching (mostly headers that were confused by the
two-headed BSD and System V mix in A/UX), but results seemed well worth it.
It took me a week to install X11R4, gcc, g++ and InterViews (thanks John
Coolidge for the fine work making X11R4, gcc and g++ for A/UX available,
see the archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu). In another week, I'd learned
enough C++ and InterViews to write a working X Window program for biological
databases. InterViews is available thru anon. ftp at interviews.stanford.edu.
Use the g++ provided by J. Coolidge at wuarchive, not the g++ included
with InterViews.
Re: modifications needed to get InterViews running. Perhaps some others with
more experience with unix soft would be better answering this. The main
file for configuring InterViews for A/UX is the IVlocal.def file in the
iv/src/config directory. Here is what I added to that file to get things
running:
/*
* IVlocal.def - local site-specific definitions
*/
/* mods for my A/UX -- dgg, 26Dec90, w/ X11R4 installed */
#define TroffCmd nroff
#define C_plusplus_compiler g_plusplus
/* ?????? */
#define C_plusplus_lib /usr/local/lib/gcc-gnulib
/* whether or not system has cfront translator */
#define HasGcc YES
#define CcCmd gcc
#define CplusplusCcCmd g++
/* need this one for some of libInterViews library */
#define Use_g_plusplus YES
#define CppCmd /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp
#define GenclassCmd /usr/local/bin/genclass
#define HasCfront NO
/* #define InstallPlatformCfFiles NO */
#define Bootstrap_gcc NO
#define ExtraLibraries -lX11_s
/* add these to compile environment !!
for make -e bootstrap ??? --
setenv CPU "MACII"
make BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS="-DmacII" EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DmacII" bootstrap
(make -n to list commands w/o make)
for make World or make Makefile --
setenv CPU "MACII"
setenv PATH /users/local/iviews/iv/installed/bin/MACII:$PATH
*/
P.S., I got rn (network news) installed last weekend in about 4 hours,
no real problems.
