- What Tan says is true. I have picked up the Asente-Swick widget set from
- gatekeeper, but now I get some really rude compile errors. I had to add
- "#include <X11/ObjectP.h>"
- to GraphDispP.h to compile BarDisplay.c, but I can't for the life of me figure
- out how to fix up Box.c, and I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with
- the idea of adding statements to this code (I'm talking about the stuff from
- asente-swick.examples.tar) just to make compiler error messages go away.
-
- I'm starting to think there may be something wrong with my setup, although
- what that might be...it's certainly not a question of missing include files,
- because it's finding everything. And it's not my libraries, because it's not
- getting that far.
-
- Plus, our sys-admin got laid off a couple of weeks ago, and his functions got
- moved to someone who is only a beginner with Unix, and doesn't speak X yet.
-
- Would I be better off trying to learn XView? I had thought that the Xt stuff
- was the next thing to tackle after I learned enough Xlib to convince myself
- that I needed a toolkit to do any real X app's. I have read, however, that
- XView has prettier buttons, and I'm pretty sure we have the XVview libs and
- includes on our system.
-
- Is the O'Reilly XView Programming Manual the best book for learning XView? I
- have had a hard time getting excited about any of the O'Reilly books, but
- read somewhere that later editions are better.
-
- Why is it so hard to get a push-button to work in X?
