Installation guide

• Name changes—For widget classes, functions, resources, enumeration
literals, callback reasons, compound strings, and fontlists.
See Appendix F for a list of the names for these components.
• Window managers—Motif uses the Motif Window Manager (mwm); XUI
uses the DECwindows Window Manager (dxwm). The window manager
provides functions for moving and resizing windows on the workspace.
The Motif Window Manager works with the toolkit to manage the
operations of windows on the screen.
Terminology differences exist between XUI and Motif. Window
functions such as changing the size, shape, or location of a window can
be done as Window menu items in Motif. In XUI, these functions are
activated by clicking on window manager buttons or borders.
For a summary of terminology and windowing differences, see
Appendix E.
• Style changes—Menu items that appear in the File, Edit, and Help
menus are different in the Motif interface. Motif also provides
accelerators for each menu item and provides different default mouse
button bindings.
For a summary of these differences, see Appendix E.
For information about how to design Motif compliant applications, see the
OSF/Motif Style Guide manual and the DECwindows Companion to the
OSF/Motif Style Guide manual.
For more complete information about porting XUI applications to Motif, see
the Porting XUI Applications to Motif manual.
6.3 Software Development Tools
Like ULTRIX systems, DIGITAL UNIX systems have a variety of software
development tools. You can use these tools as you port applications to a
DIGITAL UNIX system, as well as when you develop new applications on a
DIGITAL UNIX system.
This section gives an overview of the following DIGITAL UNIX software
development tools, highlighting differences from the ULTRIX software
development tools:
• C preprocessor
• C compiler
• Linker
• Debugging tools
