Motif Libraries

Use the Common Desktop Environment Motif and X11R6 libraries to develop a Common Desktop Environment Motif-compliant application for the X Window System. The Common Desktop Environment Motif libraries are the Motif 2.1 libraries with bug fixes and enhancements.

Motif Library (libXm)

The Common Desktop Environment provides all the Motif 2.1 header files.

Motif UIL library (libUil)

The Motif User Interface Language (UIL) is a specification language for describing the initial state of a Motif application's user interface. The Common Desktop Environment version is essentially unchanged from the Motif version.

Include the UilDef.h header file (found in the uil directory) to access UIL.

Motif Resource Manager Library (libMrm)

The Motif resource manager (MRM) is responsible for creating widgets based on definitions contained in User Interface Definition (UID) files created by the UIL compiler. MRM interprets the output of the UIL compiler and generates the appropriate argument lists for widget creation functions. Use libMrm to access the Motif resource manager. The Common Desktop Environment version is essentially unchanged from the Motif version.

Include the Mrm/MrmPublic.h header files to access libMrm in your application.
