Open Motif is a publicly licensed version of the Motif toolkit, which is widely regarded as the industry standard user interface toolkit for UNIX.
Open Motif is a user interface toolkit for UNIX systems that is publicly licensed and is considered the industry standard (IEEE 1295). It can be integrated on more than 200 software and hardware platforms, including major names such as HP, IBM, Linux (Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE), SGI, and Sun.
The software provides a `configure' shell script that helps in guessing correct values for various system-dependent variables that are used during compilation. These values are utilized to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. The tool may also produce one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent definitions. Furthermore, it generates a shell script called `config.status' that can be run in the future to reconfigure the current configuration. It also saves the results of its tests in a file named `config.cache' to speed up reconfiguring and generates a file named `config.log' containing compiler output, mainly useful for debugging `configure'.
If you require to do uncommon things for compiling the package, try to determine how `configure' could check whether to do them and mail the diffs or instructions to the email address specified in the `README'. This will be considered for the next release. If at any point, `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, feel free to edit or remove it.
Finally, the `configure.in' file is used to create `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you wish to change or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. Open Motif is a comprehensive user interface toolkit that provides you with all the necessary resources required for software development on UNIX systems, making it an excellent choice for developers.
