Preface
- This version of Motif is based on OSF 1.2.3, and is compatible with Common Development Environment (CDE) Motif. SunSoft's previous Motif Release 1.2.2 was based on IXI Motif and has some features that were not OSF 1.2 Standard.
- Solaris 2.4 provides a set of Motif libraries. This guide describes how to access these Motif 1.2.3 libraries, and compares the differences between the OPEN LOOK and Motif GUI.
Audience
- As a developer, you may be asked to port existing applications that use the OPEN LOOK(R) graphical user interface (GUI) from XView(TM) and OLIT to Motif, or from IXI 1.2.2 to OSF 1.2.3. This overview gives a general description of the key architectural issues that you might encounter when planning this transition.
- This overview assumes that you are proficient in OPEN LOOK application development using either XView or OLIT, X systems, and UNIX(R), and assumes you are familiar with Motif, as well.
