RE: New package for testing: OpenDX



Sorry,  I had not been following most of the threads.  I moved from east
coast to west and am swamped with responsibilities.

Fix is easy.

1) make a csh symbolic link to tcsh.  
2) Edit dx script and dxworkers scripts, basically copy lines for Linux,
and replace the linux*) with cygwin*).  This should fix the machine
unknown type.
3) You may have other problems with OpenDX VPE is you used Lesstif.  I
statically linked to OSF/MOTIF 2.1 libraries (licensed source code)
without violating the OSF/MOTIF license - it is OSF not OepnMOTIF.

Good luck

David,

Actually I was hoping that Suhaib would see this and tell me what to
fix.  I
did at one point get an OpenDX window to appear, but I don't have any
experience with DX to tell if this was the expected window, etc.  It was
my
understanding that OpenDX just has Cygwin support built-in now... but
you may
be right that there are platform config files that are missing.

Let me know if you find more information about what to do to the
package.

I'll cc this to Suhaib's last known address to see if he has any
comments.
