SWT on Irix? [message #371283] Thu, 26 June 2003 20:24 Go to next message

anyone successfully built the motif version of SWT on SGI Irix? Also,
would trying to get eclipse to run on Irix be a waste of time because of
performance and graphics problems?

Hi Jim,

I haven't heard of anyone trying this, but it shouldn't be too different
from building for any other platform with motif, as long as the available
motif version is >= 2.1. The extra work that I can think of is writing a
make_irix.mak (probably based on an existing make_*.mak file) and updating
build.sh to invoke it. Doing these will be required for both the swt
library and the launcher.

FAQ links, in case you haven't seen them yet:

Thanks Grant. I think I've successfully built the SWT-motif library on
Irix 6.5. It requires some futzing if Motif 2.1 is not the default
environment. Irix has the feature of having both 1.2 and 2.1.

I haven't been able to find the CDE headers. Is cde.c necessary for
running Eclipse on Motif 2.1?

Hi Jim,

cde isn't necessary; its primary use is for opening Eclipse resources in
system editors (ie.- select a resource, right-click, Open With -> System
Editor) instead of the default Eclipse editor. This isn't core to using
Eclipse unless you're really attached to using specific editors on irix.

Hi Grant, Jim,

(sorry can't reply to Jims post, don't see it listed anymore?)

I have been successful in building SWT (and the launcher) on Irix,
but I would be interested in what problems Jim had with Motif1.2 vs 2.1,
cause it didn't seem much on an issue for me.

What is an issue for me is that eclipse doesn't run, it starts but I get
an error from the launcher when it tries to "StartJVM". Seems I have
an issue with the the JNI call to Motif.

Either running:
eclipse (irix launcher)
or
java -cp ./startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -ws motif
(which is basically what the launcher does)

I get:
Assertion failed: y1 <= y2, file Region.c, line 1238, pid i83417
Abort (core dumped)

and
A dialog with stating the jvm didn't start and the call (including args)
that was made.

The call at the top of the stack which creates this assertion is
XmManageChild (I think).

Short of debugging motif (which I started, but haven't found anything yet),
I am sort of lost as to where to go from here. And also as to what the
problem
really is and what is causing it. Has anyone seen something like this
before?
Any suggestions as to where to go next?
BTW I am using JDK1.4.
