See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge [Last modified: Jun 98] Answer: ViewKit is an enhanced version of the C++/Motif framework that Doug Young describes in his book *Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif* (Prentice-Hall). Viewkit is now available for a variety of platforms from ICS. The Linux version is free. Their web site include free technical papers and ordering information: http://www.viewkit.com/ There is also a inexpensive ViewKit clone from the Hungry Programmers: http://www.hungry.com/cgi-bin/unjava/products/viewkit/ ftp://ftp.hungry.com/pub/hungry/viewkit Allen Fogleson (foggie@dtx.net) writes: I have compiled [the Hungry Programmers' version] on my linux system using RedHat Motif 2.0, There is no documentation, but the technical paper on the SGI site should be enough to get most people going. There is very little in the way of documentation either, so I should note that if you are using Motif2.0 you must either #define USE_MOTIF20 in a header file, or add it to the CXXFLAGS, and CFLAGS line of the makefile or you will get many errors when compiling the combo box bindings. Also for some reason the viewkit did not install correctly for me and I ended up hand installing it myself. I have compiled some simple applications with it, and it seems to be working fine. It is intended to follow the SGI API. They are working on a programmers guide and a reference manual for the product. All in All this is a very affordable (spelled cheap) answer to C++ development of OSF/Motif Apps.
