To subscribers of the xforms list from cbukheit@eagle1.eaglenet.com (charlie buckheit) :

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to xforms...actually been using it for about a week now. I've
done a fair ammount of Motif programming, and even with the GUI its a royal
pain... xforms blows the doors off Motif WRT ease of use and minimal code
writting for maximum GUI output. Anyway, I started off with version 0.81
which worked fine on my Mac running MkLinux. After downloading and printing
the manual, I found I was missing important stuff like fl_set_hscrollbar
and fl_add_timeout, so I downloaded the 0.86 version. Well, things went
south after that. Below is as much detail as I figure I can heap on a
mailing list without getting spammed big time. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

VR, Charlie

heres some info about my machine (yup, that would be a Mac clone running MkL=
inux):

charlie 28 % uname -a
Linux buckwheat 2.0.28-osfmach3 #1 Wed Apr 16 18:34:30 PDT 1997 ppc

heres some info on the libforms files I'm using, which should be version
0.86,=20
which I downloaded from the MkLinux directory as bxform-086.tgz:

charlie 26 % ident libforms.a
libforms.a:
$State: Beta $
$Revision: 0.86.0 $
$Date: 1997/04/14 06:04:08 $
charlie 27 % ident libforms.so.0.86=20
libforms.so.0.86:
$State: Beta $
$Revision: 0.86.0 $
$Date: 1997/04/14 06:04:08 $
$XpmVersion: 3.4g $
$Id: xpm.shar,v 3.52 95/10/09 02:23:53 lehors Exp $

heres what I get when I make the demo app with libforms.so available (i.e.
link in place):

charlie 5 % make demo
gcc -c -O -fPIC -I../FORMS -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ifd demo.c
gcc -O -s demo.o -o demo -L../FORMS -lforms -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm
=2E./FORMS/libforms.so: undefined reference to `__xstat'
make: [demo] Error 1 (ignored)
charlie 6 %=20

when the soft link to libforms.so is removed, forcing use of libforms.a [an
assumption on my part :') ]

charlie 21 % make demo
