Installation of Motif
At first, unpack the patch tarball:
tar xvf ../motif-2.3.8-patches-5.tar.xz
Now, apply the various patches from the tarball:
patch -Np1 -i patch/01_all_solaris.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/02_all_sanitise-paths.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/03_all_solaris-11.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/04_all_parallel-make.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/05_all_install-dirs.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/06_all_cflags.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/07_all_no-demos.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/08_all_xmbind-xorg.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/09_all_slibtool.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/10_all_string_h.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/11_all_acinclude.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/12_all_noreturn.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/13_all_xpm-comments.patch &&
patch -Np1 -i patch/14_all_xpm-width-0.patch
Then, remove stray autogenerated files to ensure a successful
build:
rm -rvf tools/wml/{wmllex,wmluiltok}.c
Now, regenerate the configure scripts:
touch AUTHORS NEWS &&
autoreconf -fiv -I.
Set multiple environment variables to ensure a working build:
export OLDLANG=$LANG &&
export LANG=C &&
export LEX=flex &&
export YACC=byacc
Now, install Motif by running the following commands:
sed -i '1 i\%option main' tools/wml/wmluiltok.l &&
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-x \
--enable-motif22-compatibility \
--disable-static \
--enable-utf8 \
--enable-xft \
--enable-jpeg \
--enable-png &&
make
Now as the root user:
make install &&
make -C demos install-data &&
rm -rvf /usr/share/doc/motif-2.3.8/demos &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/motif-2.3.8/demos &&
mv -v /usr/share/Xm/* /usr/share/doc/motif-2.3.8/demos &&
rmdir -v /usr/share/Xm
Still as the root user, install
some auxillary files:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/X11/app-defaults &&
cat > /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Mwm << "EOF"

Mwm*iconClick: False

Mwm*rootButtonClick: True

Mwm*feedback*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*
Mwm*multiClickTime: 300
Mwm*useIconBox: True
EOF
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/xsessions &&
cat > /usr/share/xsessions/mwm.desktop << "EOF"

Finally, unset the environment variables previously set:
export LANG=$OLDLANG &&
unset OLDLANG &&
unset LEX &&
unset YACC
