RE: New Message from Jun Zhang in Application eXtension Platform (AXP&

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Hello,
 
I'm migrating my application to the AXP. I met a problem. My application need some X11 lib support. How does the AXP support the X11 lib?  Or I must package the X11 system with my application together ? Any support is appreciated.
 
ZJ

You must package X11 libs along with your application. If you have installed axp-app-dev package and specified it as a dependency while packaging your application, you should be able to scp X11 files to AXP platform and quicken your development / testing effort.
 
 

Thank you. I'll try it.

Hello,
 
My application will call the SWING lib and the SWING will call the X11 system. AXP has no graphic display system. How does the SWING and X11 work fine in AXP? I tried to package the libs with my application, install the axp-app-dev package and scp the X11 files but it doesn't work. Is there any solution? Thank you!
 
ZJ

You should first assure that you have all the needed libraries for X11.
Leaving out Swing first test that you can run graphic programs like
xcalc via X11 from AXP. We tested that here and know that works. Once
you have that working then bring Swing back into the picture.

Thanks,

Hello,
 
I tried to install a X11 system into the AXP with the following steps:
 
1. I built the FC4 Linux workstation with GLIBC 2.5.3
2. I compiled XFree86 in the workstation
3. I scp the compiled files into AXP
4. I tried to install it in the AXP with make install tool
5. The system notice that can not install
 
Is there anything others I should do first? Thank you for your help.
 
ZJ

The glibc version for FC4 is 2.3.5. Looks like you used another version.



Thanks,

Hi,
 
Yes the glibc version is 2.3.5. I'm sorry that there is a wrting error in the last message. And I want to know that the steps I described in the last message is crrect or not. Is there anything else I should do?

ZJ

Dear Anurag and Brett,
 
Thank you for your kindly help.
There is something I confused that if there isn't an installed X11
system in the AXP how the system can run the X application just like
xcalc. You know AXP is a system without any graphic hardware. How does it support the X11 application¿I can only install an X11 system into AXP and use an X client to access the X server. Is that correct? Or I can package all the X11 libs with my application and install it
into the AXP platform. Thank you for your help!
BTW, the glibc version is 2.3.5. There is an error in the last message. Thanks.
 
ZJ

You will have to add X11 libs within your application and then install the package on AXP platform. Once you do that you will have to setup X client (or specify where to direct data) to retrieve graphical display by applications like xcalc, etc.



Thanks,
