Xm/Xm.h missing... did I not install something? - gijoe77 - 11-26-2018
so I'm trying to compile nedit 5.7 and it turns out I don't have the needed Xm/Xm.h header (and I assume I'm missing the other Motif headers if there are more) - did I miss these somewhere? I could have sworn I installed any and all dev headers and libraries that came with IRIX. What am I missing here?
I see that I can probably use a free alternative to Motif called LessTif, but I would really like to get to the bottom of what I'm missing via Motif first

You know motif is open source now right? Tried downloading the latest libs?

I saw that it was open source, I downloaded it and didn't see a Xm\Xm.h (I saw a Xm.c and a Xm.h.in), I'm not too sure what to really do with it (other than dump the "Xm" and "Mrm" directories into my /usr/include), but once again unless I rename something its will fail with the Xm.h not found.
What was the way to say compile nedit prior to 2012 when Motif wasn't open source? Is there some CD I missed from SGI that had the Motif libs?

Standard Motif under IRIX is 1.2.x. Maybe that's disapproved for being too old.
Late 6.5.x overlays come with Motif 2.1 (disc #3/3), but it never overwrites Motif 1.x, and installs under some strange prefix, /usr/lib/motif21 or similar. You may need to set up INCLUDE_PATH and LIB_PATH to pick it up.
