RE: Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

[Atwood, Robert C]

Thanks again Harold -- This is getting to be a steadily decreasing
priority for me so don't rush to solve my problems at the expense of
those interviews. I can easily transfer the data to a Linux box and use
my patched Grace from there to get the tick marks -- at this point the
only reason to pursue this is to learn how, maybe I can even locate the
bug ( with a little help) ... 
I imagine that several other people also know the answers to these
questions as they are getting more general. I have had no problem doing
the same things on a Linux box, so it seems that it is the differences
between Linux (Red Hat 9, Red Hat 8, and Slackware 8.1) and Cygwin that
are messing me up.

I have those, but I cannot figure out how to get Configure to pick them
up. That is, I can compile the little test routine (as used by configure
to test the M*tif installation)  from the command line by including all
the -l flags for these libraries directly but grace<version>/configure
always fails because it is not including those flags.  ( I figured this
out since last time I posted here...the libraries were all
there,somewhere, just not referenced by -l flags ) 
-lXft -lfontconfig -lXrender in addition to those mentioned by default

I tried adding them in the environment variable LDFLAGS but that didn't
work either -- possibly they are in the wrong order. The LDFLAGS seems
to get put before the -I flags and before the other libraries. 

Is there some cygwin equvalent of ldconfig or ld.so.conf that I am
missing out here?  Or does the grace-<version>/configure script need
some changes to use a compiled LessTif instead of packaged binaries?
(this is what I will probably try next) 

I have had some confusion in the past about this, on Cygwin certain
libraries getting automatically referenced .. when does a library not
explicitly referenced by a -l flag get automatically referenced?

Robert,

You need at least the following packages to build grace and lesstif:

fontconfig
libfontconfig1
libfontconfig-devel

XFree86-prog

[Atwood, Robert C]

Thanks for the info. I am guessing that these stages are all rolled into
{package}.sh all 

Is my problem something else entirely??? I think perhaps it is. 

The problem is:  when I configure Grace it exits on 

Error: M*tif has not been found.

Looking at config.log, there are several 'undefined reference' errors
from libXm.a that seem to have something to do with fonts eg.

_FcPatternCreate
_XftFontOpenPattern
_XftFontClose

So it IS fiding libXm.a, but not certain other libraries needed by this
library. I am guessing that Xft* functions are in libXft,
I have cygXft-[12].dll and libXft-[12].dll.a located in
/usr/X11R6/[bin,lib] , but no *.a version of these librarys, is this the

problem? How can configure locate/use these correctly? 

Thanks!
Robert







********************************************
You build lesstif as follows:

1) cd /usr/src

2) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh prep

3) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh conf > conf.log 2>&1

4) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh build > build.log 2>&1

5) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh install > install.log 2>&1

6) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh strip

7) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh pkg

8) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh spkg

You will then have a new lesstif package that you can install by 
creating a new setup.ini file.  You'll have to ask or search for help on

that.  You will need some scripts called "upset" to do this.

Oh, and your line to install manually via tar is missing a "-C /":

tar xjf -C / lesstif-0.93.91-6.tar.bz2

I think that will tell it to extract in the root of your Cygwin 
installation so the files will go to the correct place.

Robert,

I should clarify that when I applied the patch by hand, I did not touch 
the revision tags (didn't really need to).

Here is the difference I applied:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lesstif/lesstif/lib/Xm/SeparatoG.c?r1=1.24&r2=1.26


Volker said that grace was built with static libs, which is why there is 
no difference from upgrading to the 0.93.91 build (it doesn't use the DLLs).

You build lesstif as follows:

1) cd /usr/src

2) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh prep

3) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh conf > conf.log 2>&1

4) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh build > build.log 2>&1

5) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh install > install.log 2>&1

6) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh strip

7) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh pkg

8) ./lesstif-0.93.94-1.sh spkg

You will then have a new lesstif package that you can install by 
creating a new setup.ini file.  You'll have to ask or search for help on

Yes, reproducable. I'll send another mail to cygwin-apps and withdraw
the 5.14.1 version.

I used the 0.93-91-5 version, installed with setup. I'm not sure that
I will find the time over the weekend, but if yes, I'll try to build
debug versions for both progamms.

[Atwood, Robert C]

Sorry, I guess you missed the more detailed description, gdb backtraces,
etc? I shouldn't have change the subject to BACKTRACE: 



When certain dialog boxes are opened, including (but not only)
'Plot|Axis properties ...' the program crashes.
Opening some other boxes eg 'Plot|Plot appearance ... ' does not cause
the crash.
Double-clicking the axis causes the crash.

The console in which it was running reports that it got SIGSYS  and says
it may have something to do with the graphic (but I think that is
because the signal numbers are different? GDB says it gets SIGSEGV
segmentation fault)

The back trace with 5-1-12-1 rebuilt with debug (-g) is copied below.
But LessTif seems not to have been build with -g and I am having trouble
building this myself.

The same behaviour occurs with the new 5-1-14 package and the new
LessTif-0-93-91-6 , so my guess that it was the same bug in XGetCValues
that I encountered in November may be totally wrong. 

Which LessTif did you install and get it to work? Did you try opening
some dialog boxes or just start the test routine? The test routine works
because it never opens those dialog boxes.

Yes, I made the package yesterday, and I didn't write an announcement
yet. I could just recreate your "crash", it said "cygXm-2.dll" is
missing. After installing lesstif it works.

I'm sorry for that, I'll report to cygwin-apps now and add the
dependency to the setup.hint file. Besides this small problem xmgrace
seems to work. For me.

Can you describe what "crash" you are seeing? It doesn't sound like an
alert box saying a dll is missing.

>In fact, it took about 8 hours;

Well I am not going to even begin to discuss how much time I have just
spent trying to get the minor tick marks to point the other way from the
major tick marks, of which only the first 10 minutes was actually
changing the tick marks code in the Grace source.

Who said debugging free software was a thankless task? 

0.93.91-6 - Nope. doesn't work. Since I had to go looking for a mirror
with newer updates (mirror.ac.uk doesn't have the  new stuff yet) I also
found a newer build of Grace, 5.1.14-1 and the stock install crashes
(where the old one did not) The internal help shows it was built with
0.93.91

Something I would really like to understand: why should the 5.1.12 build
with the older LessTif NOT crash when running with the newer LessTif
libraries installed? If the bug is in the LessTif function and the
(shared object? dll?) is the buggy one, shouldn't it crash?

0.93.94-1 - Grace Compiles but does not run. The error:
 
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent
"xmgrace" which supports only widgets
Warning: XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed

Harold: Hope you are feeling better soon and good luck with the  degree;
thanks for trying the build. 

Detective work of my own: According to the source package I downloaded
from cygwin.matrix.com.br (only one I found that seems to be updated
with the source) for lesstif-0.93.91-6, the file where the bug happens
(SeparatorG.c) has only been patched up to 1.25 (October 6) but the bug
was not fixed until 1.26 (Nov. 27) (see copied messages below)

I am going to try patching the source and building 0-93-91(patched)
myself, but I have not had very good luck so far building any packages
under Cygwin (Grace is the only one I tried so far!) , so it may take
even more than 8 hours. All for those stupid little tick marks :-()

Well, it wasn't simple.  In fact, it took about 8 hours; granted, 
probably 4 of that was for making clean ups that the lesstif package has

needed for a long time.  I built lesstif-0.93.94, but it doesn't work 
well.  nedit crashes when opening file dialogs.  I'm trying a rebuild of

it now to see if having 0.93.91 installed while building 0.93.94 was 
causing problems.

The alternative solution I came up with was to apply the patch for the 
bug number you listed to my 0.93.91 source.  That seems to be stable. 
However, you'll have to report whether it fixes your bug or not.

I am going to post my 0.93.94 package as a 'test' release, even if it 
does not work.  I will do this so that others can download the source 
package and see if they can get it to work.  I am not going to look into

it any further.  If someone gets it working and sends me clean patches, 
I will release it.  If not, I won't release it.  We will just have to 
wait until their is another clean lesstif release that happens to be 
stable on Cygwin and with nedit.

Hope that helps,

Harold

Dear Harold and others:

lesstif is the stock version. Also, I reinstalled all my Cygwin earlier
today.


$cygcheck -c lesstif
Package	Version	Status
lesstif	0.93.91-5	OK


Comparing the backtrace from this problem and the other problem, it
really looks like the same bug to me. Can the 'stock' lesstif be updated
to 0.93.94? I thought I had seen the last of that bug a couple of months
ago :~O

Robert,

Please send in the results of "cygcheck -c lesstif" and report on 
whether you have built lesstif yourself or if you are using the stock 
lesstif package for Cygwin.

I get the following output (which is the latest version):

$ cygcheck -c lesstif
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
lesstif              0.93.91-5      OK

Grace (xmgrace) 5.1.12-1 graph program -- building under cygwin -- possibly LessTif bug from 0.93.91 ?

[Atwood, Robert C]

Dear  Cygwin-xfree people :
I am trying to compile xmgrace with a few of my own (very minor)
modifications and to run under Cygwin. I have already compiled it
successfully on a Linux machine. However, I could not get it to run on
Cygwin.

So , I tried the basic source without my modifications -- even then, the
executable I compile under Cygwin gives a SIGSYS (Signal 6) when trying
to open certain (but not all) dialog boxes. The binary installed from
Cygwin setup does not give this problem.
This is the Grace-5.1.12 version.

I had a similar problem with ddd on Linux using LessTif 0.93.91, and
Danny fixed the problem in November. Is it possible that the same bug is
causing this? Can the default LessTif be upgraded (or downgraded? )  The
bug was #849599 and was fixed in version 0.93.94 (see LessTif bug
database and forwarded reply below) 

However, if this were the problem, I still don't see why the downloaded
binary should work but the compiled binary should not? They use shared
libraries for LessTif, don't they?  


I used the following procedure:
1. use Cygwin setup to obtain the source archives
2. ./grace-5.5.12-1.sh prep
3. cd grace-5.5.12
4. ./configure
5. make 
6. make tests

during tests, opening the dialog boxes causes the fault

7. make install
8. make links
9. /usr/local/bin/xmgrace 

the same fault occurs.


Here is some relevant information:

Host: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 2003-09-20 16:31 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) i686
Time: Thu Jan 15 18:18:44 2004
GUI toolkit @(#)GNU/LessTif Version 2.1 Release 0.93.91
Xbae version: 4007
T1lib: 1.2.1p1-grace
libpng:1.2.5
libjpeg:62


gcc 3.3.1 (cygming special)




Thanks

I've just released LessTif 0.93.94 to fix this bug.
