From: ph@gmd.de (Peter Hendricks) Subject: [Q] InterViews 3.1 -- ported completely? Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1993 16:50:42 GMT
Hello all,
I have a question about the port of InterViews 3.1 to LinuX, as comes with
SLS 1.02.
I tried to port quite a big piece of software written on a sun architecture
to my new linux box. It is a simulator for neural nets and its graphical
interface is based on IV version 2.6.
After fiddling around trying to port our version 2.6 (which we made to pass
the new g++ with ANSI syntax) to linux and finally giving up on this, I
wanted to adapt the simulator to IV 3.1 as it is delivered with SLS.
However, I am missing some class definitions, respectively World, Painter,
and other stuff. I know, there are some residing in the IV-2.6 directory,
but these won't be compiled correctly, so my questions are:
How do I get these classes? Are they implemented in the library and just
missing the appropriate header files?
Is libIV.a incomplete in this way and do I have to get the complete sources
at tsx-11 and recompile?
Or have they just been discarded in version 3.1?
I know some of these questions provoke rtfm-answers, but the problem behind
is, that I have not understood completely the compatibility mode and this
mysterious _lib_iv(classname) macro.
Maybe some guru could comment on this (by email: ph@gmd.de). Thanks in advance!
