Compiling openmotif demos, xmkmf -a: missing separator

Submitted by mghis on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 13:02.

Hi all.
I'm trying to compile the OpenMotif samples in the "demos" directory.
I moved to openMotif-2.2.3/demos/programs/periodic and run:
% xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/lib/X11/config

It created a Makefile. Running make...
% make
Makefile:1095: *** missing separator. Stop.

Can you help me?

EDIT: I already seen this http://www.motifzone.org/forum/developers/compiling-demos post. I installed openmotif by Ubuntu repository, and I have a bunch of .cf files in /usr/lib/X11/config

Thanks for any reply :)

IO Error Handling In Threads

Submitted by JasonCA on Sat, 10/02/2010 - 20:00.

Hi Everyone,

I noticed that an X lib IO error causes the process to exit. I believe the default X lib IO handler calls 'exit' where then the entire process goes down.

I realize it is possible to set your own handler to handle X lib IO errors with a call to XSetIOErrorHandler. However, still, after calling my own X lib IO error handler, the process still exits.

My issue is this:

What if I create a thread that makes a connection to a Remote X server where the cable to the X server is suddenly cut. I would get the following error:
