Motif

What is Motif?

Motif is the Unix industry standard for graphical interfaces. It is a set of library routines for the C & C++ langauges. Motif was developed by the Open Software Foundation. We also support the Motif Window Manager (mwm).

How to Use

On the Suns, you will need to the use the following options to the compiler.

-I/usr/local/X11/include -L/usr/local/X11/lib -lXm -lXt -lX11

To use the Motif Window Manager (mwm), you will need to modify your .xsession file to use mwm instead of twm (the system default window manager)

Availability

Motif is available on the Suns, SGIs, and IBMs.
