Where's Xlib.h?

Steven Schweda — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 22:12:32 GMT

On a C3700 workstation:

# uname -a
HP-UX dy B.11.11 U 9000/785 2012616114 unlimited-user license

I see no evidence of any X/Motif header files,
like, say, Xlib.h. How are these things
distributed? Was there some optional step I
missed while installing the OS, or is there
some kit I need to download (whence?), or is
this stuff part of some extra-cost option(s)?

there is no Xlib.h present normally.You can see Motif Window manger here./usr/bin/X11/mwm.

Do a "man mwm" that can provide more info..

Xlib.h is a part of X11/Motif Development Kit. This kit is a part of HP C/ANSI C
Developer's Bundle.

Yes, it is part of the HP C/ANSI C Developer's (old) or HP C/aC++ Developer's Bundle, X11MotifDevKit.

You may find some open source headers by searching similar questions in the ITRC.

hi,

On mine, we have all the required software installed and below are the occurrences of Xlib.h:

myserver:usr>find . -name Xlib.h
./include/X11/Xlib.h
./include/X11R6/X11/Xlib.h
./local/pa20_64/lib/gcc-lib/hppa64-hp-hpux11.11/3.3.2/include/X11/Xlib.h
./local/pa20_64/lib/gcc-lib/hppa64-hp-hpux11.11/3.3.2/include/X11R6/X11/Xlib.h
./local/perl64/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/PA-RISC2.0-LP64/Tk/pTk/Xlib.h
myserver:usr>uname -a
HP-UX myserver B.11.11 U 9000/800 788907671 unlimited-user license
myserver:usr>

hope this helps too!

kind regards

The critical phrase seems to be "HP-UX
Developer's Toolkit", as in:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B3394BA

And it seems to be free, not attached to the
extra-cost C compiler.

Now I can build "vim" with the graphics stuff
enabled (at last).

They never tell me anything. ;-)

I'll see if we can add a link to that product to put with the HP C/aC++ Developer's Bundle.

Could be handy. I had sucked down a free
trial copy of the C/C++ compiler, and was
about to install it just to get this stuff
when I did one more Google search and found
what I really wanted.
