Install LessTif by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-build-20 \
--enable-build-21 \
--disable-debug \
--enable-production \
--disable-build-tests \
--with-xdnd &&
make &&
make install |
--enable-build-20: Build the Motif 2.0 compatible version of the LessTif libraries.
--enable-build-21: Also build the Motif 2.1 compatible versions.
--disable-debug: Do not generate debugging information.
--enable-production: Build the release version of the LessTif libraries.
--disable-build-tests: Do not build the test/ tree (see Testing LessTif).
--with-xdnd: Enable XDND GNOME compatibility support.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /opt/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
It is advisable to test the installation of LessTif with the test suite located in lesstif-0.93.46/test. It is not required to install any of the resulting binaries to validate the installation, the following commands, executed from the source directory, will suffice:
cd test && ./configure && make |
