Descriptions of the Current Directory

[0] Files

This directory contains the 3D version of the Athena Widget Library (Xaw3d):

Xaw3d-1.3.tar.gz: source codes

Xaw3d-1.3-bin.tar.gz: precompiled binary package

[1] Installation Instructions

To use precompiled binaries, you have to first set up shared libraries. To do this look at this and follow the instruction given there.

What you have to do then is

$ su

# cd /

# tar -zxpvf [somewhere]/Xaw3d-1.3-bin.tar.gz

Now replace the default 2D Xaw by the 3D Xaw3d

# cd /usr/X11R6.3/lib

# rm libXaw3d.a libXaw.so libXaw.so.6

# ln -s libXaw3d.so.6.1 libXaw.so

# ln -s libXaw3d.so.6.1 libXaw.so.6

so that X applications linked with shared libraries could use the 3D Athena Widget set. Try

$ xterm -sb

$ kterm -sb

$ ghostview

to see if you get now 3D scrollbars and 3D buttons. They look nicer, right?

Note:

The binary package was built with

EXTRA_DEFINES = -DARROW_SCROLLBAR -DUSEGRAY

so as to put arrows to both ends of any scrollbar and to avoid ugly shading in case color allocation fails due to other color-heavy applications (a must for 256 colors).
