Re: Ada/Motif binding

[gvc@ocsystems.com (G. Vincent Castellano)]

% I am trying to find a binding of Ada (preferably '95) to Motif.  The Dec
% binding looks the best that I have found so far but I am having difficulty
% getting the program to compile.

The Intermetrics Motif/Ada 95 binding can be downloaded from
ftp://ocsystems.com/xada/motif.tar.gz.  You will also need 
their X11/Ada 95 bindings:  http://www.inmet.com/~mg/x11ada/x11ada.html.

For information on Ada 95 bindings to other X toolkits, see
http://www.ocsystems.com/xada.

% The problem is in the xm_string.c file (created from the xm_string_.pic2a
% file).  When I attempt to compile the program the following error message
% comes up:
%
%         Undefined       first referenced
%         symbol          in file
%         XtShellStrings  /var/tmp/xxxx
%         _XmStrings      /var/tmp/xxxx
%         XtStrings       /var/tmp/xxxx
%
%         ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out

It appears that you have not provided the names of the Xt and Motif
archive files to the linker.  Proper use of the '-l' and '-L' switches
will probably correct the problem.  If you believe you are already 
using these switches correctly, please provide more detail.
