Hi I’m trying to compile about 30 C sources written in 1997.
Based on required header files such as XmAll.h and Xlib.h and the use of “Widget” syntax, I found that these sources depend on the Motif programming tool kits, so it seems they should be compiled in Linux or Unix system.

I have no any experience with X Windows Programming and Motif programing, but I must compile them.
I really tried to compile them in Mac OSX or Windows, but of course it didn’t work.

Do I have to install Linux as virtual OS first and install Open Motif in it to compile them?
Could you give any other suggestion?

Thank you so much!

    If you want to build it on Windows, you could try installing Cygwin – when you’re selecting packages, you’ll need all the build tools (like gcc, make…), X11 (eg. xorg-server), and lesstif (Open source Motif clone).

    You will probably need to be prepared to massage the source a bit – I doubt it will work “out of the box”.
