Compilation (V1.2)

Straightforward using make/imake. The default installation goes into /usr, if you don't want that, modify the Makefiles/Imakefiles accordingly.

AIX 4.2 specifics

The Imakefiles need a lot of adaptions, to be documented later.
If done, run:
xmkmf -a
make
make install

HP-UX 10.20 specifics

Some demos are built using the uil compiler, which requires the shared library libMrm.1. Ensure that it is in the library path:
export SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/usr/lib/Motif1.2

Modify Makefiles:

INSTALL = bsdinst

BINDIR = /usr/bin/X11
BINDIR = /tmp/Xm1.2

MKDIRHIER = /usr/bin/sh $(BINDIR)/mkdirhier
MKDIRHIER = /usr/bin/sh mkdirhier

LIBDIR = $(USRLIBDIR)/X11
LIBDIR = /tmp/Xm1.2/lib/X11

DEPUIL = $(BINDIR)/uil
DEPUIL = /usr/dt/bin/uil

Modify motifshell/Makefile:

           DOCDIR = /tmp/Xm1.2/doc
install:: motif
	@if [ -d $(DESTDIR)$(DOCDIR) ]; then set +x; \
	else (set -x; $(MKDIRHIER) $(DESTDIR)$(DOCDIR)); fi
	$(INSTALL) -c $(INSTDATFLAGS) motif $(DESTDIR)$(DOCDIR)


Then run:
make clean
make
make install

Installation/Configuration

AIX 4.2 specifics

Looks like the C runtime might have to be included in the library search path:
export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/lib
