********************************************************************** SNNS Version 4.2 Open Windows Installation Notes ********************************************************************** There is a bug in Open Windows 3 running under SunOS 4.1.x which causes a "_get_wmShellWidgetClass undefined" error when linking the xgui. SNNS doesn't run under an Open Windows version below 3.0. In the configure script you'll be asked if you want to use Open Windows. If you answer yes, all X11 libraries will be linked static, which uses a lot of memory. The better way is to fix the bug in Open Windows as described below, and use the normal X11 installation. Then, you only have to change the pathes to the Open Windows include and library files. This following bugfix is taken from the Open Windows FAQ Thanks to Andreas Kanstein (kanst@luzi.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de) for posting this article to the snns mailing list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 106) What is this "_get_wmShellWidgetClass undefined" error? In SunOS 4.1.2 Sun fixed a shared-library bug in ld which conflicts with the way X builds the shared Xmu library, causing these symbols, notably, to be undefined when building some X11 clients on SunOS 4.1.[23]: _get_wmShellWidgetClass _get_applicationShellWidgetClass Compiling "-Bstatic -lXmu -Bdynamic" is overkill; be sure to set OSTeenyVersion correctly in the config/sun.cf file and rebuild X11R5. To solve the problem if you are using OpenWindows 3.0 (X11R4-based Xt), please contact your local Sun office and request the following patches: Patch i.d.
