Solaris 2.x comes with an X11R5 server and the Motif run-time libraries. This
is enough to do development work with Motif. You will have to use the
following flags to the compilation of object files:
-I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/dt/include
And the following to the final linking of the binary:
-R/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -L/usr/dt/lib
The use of the -R flag *is* important as it removes the need for the setting
of LD_LIBRARY_PATH which can be used to easily shoot yourself in the foot :)
/usr/openwin is the start of the standard X11 includes, libs, binaries, etc.
/usr/dt has the Motif shared library and some includes.
Note that you should have the Motif libraries (ie -lXm) specified first in the
list of X libraries included otherwise your programs will die in weird and
wonderful ways :)
