Preface

Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Motif Transition Guide addresses:
  • (R) · Issues of concern to Sun Motif developers
  • How to run existing OPEN LOOK(R) and Motif applications on the OpenWindows(TM) 3.5 and Solaris Common Desktop Environment (CDE) 1.0 desktops
  • Porting OPEN LOOK and Motif applications to the Solaris CDE environment
This manual assumes you are familiar with OPEN LOOK or Motif programming. Use it in conjunction with Motif and OPEN LOOK manuals to enable your application to run on the latest Sun desktops.
Note - Solaris 2.5 Motif and CDE 1.0 Motif are the same. This book uses the terminology CDE Motif for this toolkit.
Note - The OpenWindows 3.4 desktop is the default desktop for the Solaris 2.4 environment. The OpenWindows 3.5 desktop is the default desktop for the Solaris 2.5 environment.

Who Should Use This Book

Read Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Motif Transition Guide if you are:
  • A Motif programmer interested in developing CDE Motif applications for the OpenWindows 3.5 or Solaris CDE 1.0 desktop
  • An OPEN LOOK or Motif programmer, and you want your existing applications to run on the OpenWindows 3.5 or Solaris CDE 1.0 desktop with little or no code modification
  • Interested in porting your OPEN LOOK or Motif application to the Solaris CDE 1.0 desktop
This manual assumes that you are proficient in OPEN LOOK (XView(TM) or OLIT) or Motif application development on UNIX(R) platforms. If you are an OPEN LOOK developer, it assumes you are familiar with Motif, as well.

Before You Read This Book

If you are considering porting your application to the Solaris CDE 1.0 desktop, and you are not familiar with CDE, you should first read:
See Appendix D, "Recommended Reading" for a listing of all the CDE documentation.
