RE: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )

[Atwood, Robert C]

Well, I believe that something like 'You have to directly edit the
.sh script in order to alter the configuration options, which
are passed to the configure script, such as --enable-debug or
--enable/disable-static' would/should be included there. 

Also since ./configure --help ususally provides information about what
options/environment variables are available or used, and the Cygwin
build script makes this step essentially opaque to the user, I feel that
the responsibility for providing this also gets transferred to the
Cygwin build script. Perhaps the 'help' function would also simply call
the configure script for the package and echo back the help options from
it.  I will see if I can do this at least  before sending a patch to the
address you mention. 

I though you meant 'what does "documentation" mean', like very
sarcastic! 

Method 2 link:
I see what you mean, and I did glance at this before -- but not in great
detail because it is mostly about how to create the package but not much
about how to use the package once it is created.
In the 'canned instructions' it only mentions using the 'all' option ,
it does not mention the sub-options such as prep, build,conf ... only
because Harold mentioned it did I get the idea that these other options
exist.  (then trying to read the script )

Sorry.  If you look at the context from your previous message, it really
was not clear whether this refered to
--[enable|disable]-[static|shared], how to build a DLL with libtool,
etc. In fact, the this you explained above was not even on my guess list
:).

Is think this is the closest this to what you are looking for:

http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents

Look under "Method 2".

I agree.  PTC.  Please send them to cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com.
Although, don't get your hopes up.  There has been another very useful
patch to this script pending for a long time now, and it is not clear
why it has not been accepted.

I'm not sure who is in charge of the generic build script.  Maybe that
is the problem.

I have my new machine set up now, so I'll try to take a stab at
compiling it myself today.  I'll let you know how I make out.  Thanks
for being patient.

RE: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )

[Atwood, Robert C]

To ask a simple question:

When are the dll supposed to get created during the build/install
process?



*duh* okay --  I did not look in the *-announce archives. But I did see
this same text in the lesstif.README of the distribution. Maybe I did
not understand it... I interpret these points ("Port notes")  as
referring to things that Harold has already done for this version, not
something that the user has to do. Is this incorrect? It seemed to work
for Harold anyways, he has generated a package. 

>Why are you trying to build it yourself?
Obviously I must be a masochist with a need to waste time. :-D

>See the following reference for some details:
>http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00401.html
Okay, that explains something.

>Did you make sure that this step from Harold's lesstif announcement 
>worked?

No, in fact I am sorry but I still don't understand what you are asking.
I do have the up-to-date build tools, as of that day that Harold posted
0.93.91-6 , unless I am completely missign something. There were no
complaints from the confiure/build script though. dlltool is installed,
the command for creating dll seems to be located in ltmain.sh , I don't
see any messages saying that it failed. I just don't get dll's

How should one 'check if (all these steps) worked'? I would expect it to
fail with certain messages if it didn't work. 

Is there any other step *necessary* besides:

1 change the script to have --enable-debug --enable-shared
--disable-static flags

2 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh prep
3 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh conf
4 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh build
5 ./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh install

6 then using the result in the .install directory?

 I used 
./lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh all 

the first time I tried it, with identical results (except I had to
untarbz the results, and debug was not enabled) I have not looked into
creating a setup.ini, is this where the .dll get created?

Or to ask a very uncomplicated question:

When are the dll supposed to get created in the build/install process?

Given this information I may be able to see why it is not happening on
my system. I am going to move this question to the top of this message
so maybe people will see it instead of having to read down to this
point!

Thanks, 
Robert

Can you tell me the date/title of the announcement? I think it was a
while before I started reading this list, and Harold is so active that I
so far could not find it in the archives.


**

Did you make sure that this step from Harold's lesstif announcement
worked?

2) Make the build script run aclocal, autoconf, and automake, and make
the mkpatch step exclude files generated by these programs.  This makes
the package patch readable and useful.

I think you might need to include libtool in that list.  Make sure all
of the afore mentioned tools are up to date, and then try:

autoreconf --install --force

It has both --enable-static and --enable-shared in there, does one
override the other? I do not get the dll. 

I am trying again with the --enable-static removed ; or do you actually
have to specify --disable-static?

Is this documented somewhere?

However, I don't see why one library can't be static and the other
shared, doesn't it just look for the needed symbol at run-time?  --  I
am willing to take your word for it though.


 

RE: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )

[Atwood, Robert C]

As far as I can tell, it not only build static .a library files, but did
not create any shared .dll files. Is there another step needed to do
this? I will try to comprehend some parts of the script and see if I can
figure how to create the dll's or why I did not get them in the first
place.

At first I tried buildign the lesstif by manually runing ./configure and
make but this did not work.

This is a list all the files called Xm that got installed :
$find . -name '*Xm\.*'
./lib/libXm.la
./lib/libXm.a
./include/Xm/Xm.h
Thanks again

I believe this is a static lesstif lib.  And, AFAIK, a static lesstif
lib will not work now that Xt is a DLL.  I don't know why it is still in
the package.  I would think that lesstif-0.93.91-6.sh should be passing
--disable-static to configure and that would keep this from being
built/installed.

Do not use that lib.  Move it out of the way.  You should be linking
with libXm.dll.a, although -lXm should just do that.

That is because you are linking with the broken static lib.

Libtool may have taken care of this for you, although I don't know why
it isn't now.  Look in libXm.la.

You will still need the debug build to find the dialog problem.  Look in
the .sh script to figure out how to do one manually.  It isn't
that hard to dig through.

RE: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )

[Atwood, Robert C]

No huge rush, I am getting the graphing I want done using Grace on a
linux box, no reason other than a bit of convenience to do it on a
window/cygwin installation.. 

What I did: Building lesstif -- just using the provided script (for now,
without even trying debugging)
Sorry this is my first exposure to the cygwin building scripts, I am not
sure what it did with my config.log, but it is the script included in
0.93.91-6, using .sh all 
Installing lesstif -- untarred the resulting archive into
the / location

Configuring grace -- grace-5.1.12-1.sh prep
 export X_EXTRA_LIBS="-lXft -lfontconfig
-lXrender" 
 cd grace-5.1.12
 ./configure
--with-motif-library-/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a  [--enable-debug] (tried
with/without)
 make
 make tests

The errors occurred here. I tried some other ways of getting the
librarys included (before I settled on this way) with identical results.
With the lesstif installed from the binary package via setup, the tests
work (but crash, as mentioned, with a seg fault if an axis dialog is
opened) In this case no graphs open, only the error message (non-widget
etc.) in the parent terminal window.


I am not sure why X_EXTRA_LIBS were needed when they were not needed
when I compiled grace using the lesstif that was installed from the
binary package. This was very confusing. As far as I can tell, these
libraries are not part of lesstif,(are they?)

RE: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error (WAS: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... )

[Atwood, Robert C]

Dear Brian and other list people:

Why am I trying to build it myself?

Because the distributed package (0-93-91-5)  seems to cause another
problem, even the version that Harold Hunt patched (0.93.91-6) using
Danny Backx's fix for the bug I encounterd a few months ago, and have no
idea why it still crashes. I cannot find out in any more detail unless I
run with a debug-compiled version. 

Is there another way to get a debug-compiled version other than building
it myself?

Harold's test-version of 0.93.94 seems to have this problem (non-widget
etc.) (if it really is from lesstif) and he says it causes problems with
nedit as well, so it is not a true release. But I am building a
0.93.91-6 without changes (at first) just to find out exactly where the
crash is coming from, but get this (different) problem.  

Please see the archived thread on 'Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 ... ' for
much greater detail on this (including backtraces, etc)

I certainly realize that a 'properly built' lesstif is what I want, in
what way is my version not 'properly built'? That is essentially what I
was asking in the first place! However I followed Harold's directions
exactly without trying to patch it or even debug it (at first) and I
have this problem. 

How do I distinguish whether it is not 'properly built' or not 'properly
updated'? Which is the problem? 

Can you provide details on what constitutes a 'properly updated'
lesstif? I got the source from 0.93.91-6 (one line different from
0.93.91-5) 

Can you build xmgrace from source and then get the axis properties
dialog box (double click an axis) to open without crashing? (Note the
release 5-1-12-1 package binaries are compiled with STATIC libraries
from an earlier version of lesstif and do not crash.)

Thanks for your help
Robert

[Atwood, Robert C]

Update: by adding absolute paths to the missing libraries, I can get it
to compile,but now I get 

Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent
"xmgrace" which supports only widgets 


I have scanned the mailing list archive , and notice this problem

Any pointers/ redirections to an example I haven't found yet?

Thanks again Harold -- This is getting to be a steadily decreasing
priority for me so don't rush to solve my problems at the expense of
those interviews. I can easily transfer the data to a Linux box and use
my patched Grace from there to get the tick marks -- at this point the
only reason to pursue this is to learn how, maybe I can even locate the
bug ( with a little help) ... 
I imagine that several other people also know the answers to these
questions as they are getting more general. I have had no problem doing
the same things on a Linux box, so it seems that it is the differences
between Linux (Red Hat 9, Red Hat 8, and Slackware 8.1) and Cygwin that
are messing me up.

I have those, but I cannot figure out how to get Configure to pick them
up. That is, I can compile the little test routine (as used by configure
to test the M*tif installation)  from the command line by including all
the -l flags for these libraries directly but grace/configure
always fails because it is not including those flags.  ( I figured this

Robert,

You need at least the following packages to build grace and lesstif:

fontconfig
libfontconfig1
libfontconfig-devel

XFree86-prog

[Atwood, Robert C]

Thanks again Harold -- This is getting to be a steadily decreasing
priority for me so don't rush to solve my problems at the expense of
those interviews. I can easily transfer the data to a Linux box and use
my patched Grace from there to get the tick marks -- at this point the
only reason to pursue this is to learn how, maybe I can even locate the
bug ( with a little help) ... 
I imagine that several other people also know the answers to these
questions as they are getting more general. I have had no problem doing
the same things on a Linux box, so it seems that it is the differences
between Linux (Red Hat 9, Red Hat 8, and Slackware 8.1) and Cygwin that
are messing me up.

I have those, but I cannot figure out how to get Configure to pick them
up. That is, I can compile the little test routine (as used by configure
to test the M*tif installation)  from the command line by including all
the -l flags for these libraries directly but grace/configure
always fails because it is not including those flags.  ( I figured this
out since last time I posted here...the libraries were all
there,somewhere, just not referenced by -l flags ) 
-lXft -lfontconfig -lXrender in addition to those mentioned by default

I tried adding them in the environment variable LDFLAGS but that didn't
work either -- possibly they are in the wrong order. The LDFLAGS seems
to get put before the -I flags and before the other libraries.

RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

[Atwood, Robert C]

Thanks for the info. I am guessing that these stages are all rolled into
{package}.sh all 

Is my problem something else entirely??? I think perhaps it is. 

The problem is:  when I configure Grace it exits on 

Error: M*tif has not been found.

Looking at config.log, there are several 'undefined reference' errors
from libXm.a that seem to have something to do with fonts eg.

_FcPatternCreate
_XftFontOpenPattern
_XftFontClose

So it IS fiding libXm.a, but not certain other libraries needed by this
library. I am guessing that Xft* functions are in libXft,
I have cygXft-[12].dll and libXft-[12].dll.a located in
/usr/X11R6/[bin,lib] , but no *.a version of these librarys, is this the

problem? How can configure locate/use these correctly? 

Thanks!
Robert








You build lesstif as follows:

1) cd /usr/src

2) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh prep

3) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh conf > conf.log 2>&1

4) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh build > build.log 2>&1

5) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh install > install.log 2>&1

6) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh strip

7) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh pkg

8) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh spkg

You will then have a new lesstif package that you can install by 
creating a new setup.ini file.  You'll have to ask or search for help on

that.  You will need some scripts called "upset" to do this.

Oh, and your line to install manually via tar is missing a "-C /":

tar xjf -C / lesstif-0.93.91-6.tar.bz2

I think that will tell it to extract in the root of your Cygwin 
installation so the files will go to the correct place.

How do I build LessTif packagef?

[Atwood, Robert C]

How do I build the LessTif package myself?

I have tried:
./lesstif-0.93.91-6 all
followed by 
tar -jxvf /usr/src/lesstif-0.93.91-6.tar.bz2

still the configure for another program (Grace) cannot find the M*tif
libraries
It seems the dll's are not created, just .a files? I followed the
instructions in CYGWIN-PATCHES/lesstif.README but it does not mention
anything beyond running 
{package}.sh all
 , which creates the {package}.tar.bz2 file, what is supposed to happen
next? How do I get the dll from the library files?

Which part of the FAQ didn't I read? Maybe I just didn't understand it? 

Also how do I build it with debugging (-g) and not stripping the
binaries?




I also tried:
./lesstif-0.93.91-6 prep
configure
make

... that did not work!

Thanks, 
Robert

RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

[Atwood, Robert C]

Sorry, I guess you missed the more detailed description, gdb backtraces,
etc? I shouldn't have change the subject to BACKTRACE: 



When certain dialog boxes are opened, including (but not only)
'Plot|Axis properties ...' the program crashes.
Opening some other boxes eg 'Plot|Plot appearance ... ' does not cause
the crash.
Double-clicking the axis causes the crash.

The console in which it was running reports that it got SIGSYS  and says
it may have something to do with the graphic (but I think that is
because the signal numbers are different? GDB says it gets SIGSEGV
segmentation fault)

The back trace with 5-1-12-1 rebuilt with debug (-g) is copied below.
But LessTif seems not to have been build with -g and I am having trouble
building this myself.

The same behaviour occurs with the new 5-1-14 package and the new
LessTif-0-93-91-6 , so my guess that it was the same bug in XGetCValues
that I encountered in November may be totally wrong. 

Which LessTif did you install and get it to work? Did you try opening
some dialog boxes or just start the test routine? The test routine works
because it never opens those dialog boxes.

Yes, I made the package yesterday, and I didn't write an announcement
yet. I could just recreate your "crash", it said "cygXm-2.dll" is
missing. After installing lesstif it works.

I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the
dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem xmgrace
seems to work. For me.

Can you describe what "crash" you are seeing? It doesn't sound like an
alert box saying a dll is missing.

rcs-id tags in Cygwin source differ from the source code ? (Was: RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?)

[Atwood, Robert C]

Even stranger ... the LessTif 0.93.91-6  source seems to contain the fix
in SeparatoG.c but the cvs / rcsid tag does not agree with the number
for the version that contains this fix.

This does not explain why it does not work. 

Still it is a source of confusion -- defeating the purpose of the rcs id
tags.

Apologies for the misunderstanding engendered by my reading the tag
numbers for this file.

Well I am not going to even begin to discuss how much time I have just
spent trying to get the minor tick marks to point the other way from the
major tick marks, of which only the first 10 minutes was actually
changing the tick marks code in the Grace source.

Who said debugging free software was a thankless task?

(where the old one did not) The internal help shows it was built with

Well, it wasn't simple.  In fact, it took about 8 hours; granted, 
probably 4 of that was for making clean ups that the lesstif package has

needed for a long time.  I built lesstif-0.93.94, but it doesn't work

it any further.  If someone gets it working and sends me clean patches, 
I will release it.  If not, I won't release it.  We will just have to 
wait until their is another clean lesstif release that happens to be

Please send in the results of "cygcheck -c lesstif" and report on 
whether you have built lesstif yourself or if you are using the stock 
lesstif package for Cygwin.

I get the following output (which is the latest version):

Here is a back trace for the problem I mentioned. 
In this case it was the plot|axes properties ... dialog box that I tried
to open.

Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

[Atwood, Robert C]

Dear  Cygwin-xfree people :
I am trying to compile xmgrace with a few of my own (very minor)
modifications and to run under Cygwin. I have already compiled it
successfully on a Linux machine. However, I could not get it to run on
Cygwin.

So , I tried the basic source without my modifications -- even then, the
executable I compile under Cygwin gives a SIGSYS (Signal 6) when trying
to open certain (but not all) dialog boxes. The binary installed from
Cygwin setup does not give this problem.
This is the Grace-5.1.12 version.

I had a similar problem with ddd on Linux using LessTif 0.93.91, and
Danny fixed the problem in November. Is it possible that the same bug is
causing this? Can the default LessTif be upgraded (or downgraded? )  The
bug was #849599 and was fixed in version 0.93.94 (see LessTif bug
database and forwarded reply below) 

However, if this were the problem, I still don't see why the downloaded
binary should work but the compiled binary should not? They use shared
libraries for LessTif, don't they?  


I used the following procedure:
1. use Cygwin setup to obtain the source archives
2. ./grace-5.5.12-1.sh prep
3. cd grace-5.5.12
4. ./configure
5. make 
6. make tests

during tests, opening the dialog boxes causes the fault

7. make install
8. make links
9. /usr/local/bin/xmgrace 

the same fault occurs.


Here is some relevant information:
