This package was put together by Adrian Bunk . Previous maintainer was joost witteveen . Joost did the following to make it compile: - change the libName (soname) in the Imakefile from Xaw3d to Xaw (so that ldconfig finds it) David Engel suggested a really cool way to keep the soname to "Xaw3d", and put a stubb libary with the soname Xaw in it that points to the Xaw3d lib. This is how debian-revision 1 worked. Unfortunately, this caused several problems: -the standard X apps editres and viewres don't work anymore. -xconsole didn't popup when it received mouse focus (if your .fvwmrc make windows do so) -asciiTextWidgets under some circumstances (don't know what, do have a test case) don't accept keyboard input (but do accept cut-and-past input). Anyway David's suggestion to put the Xaw3d libs in their own directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d) and put that directory first in /etc/ld.so.conf is still great, so I still do that. - in the debian.rules file, I make (from the source dir) the subdirectory X11, with a symbolic link Xaw3d to ../, so that the compiler can find the includefiles X11/Xaw3d/*. I obtained the sources from ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/Xaw3d/R6.3/ The upstream maintainer of the package is: Kaleb S.
