I had more trouble "porting" Motif to ESIX SysVR4 than I did with SunOS or Ultrix. Ultrix is a reference OS for Motif, Ultrix and SunOS are both BSD based. Motif built "right out of the box" on both SunOS and Ultrix for me. Perhaps you're thinking of "shared libraries". Even those aren't hard on SVR4 or SunOS. I wouldn't expect to have problems building Motif on 386BSD either, I just haven't had the opportunity yet... My new ET4000 doesn't like my 640x400 monochrome monitor. Anyone wanna donate a 19" Triniton monitor to a worthy cause? :-) -- Kaleb Keithley kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov Not authorized, in any way, shape, or form, to speak for anyone.
