Chapter 4 Porting an X Client from HP-UX to MPE/iX This chapter provides an overview of the major steps required to successfully port an X client from HP-UX to MPE/iX. Before you read this chapter, you should thoroughly understand the HP Motif/iX implementation details described in chapter 2. While the first few steps of the porting task are not shared by an MPE/iX programmer developing X clients on MPE/iX, later tasks - such as compiling, linking, and executing the X client - are identical. The following sections highlight some of the major tasks that you need to perform to successfully port an X client to MPE/iX: * plan the port * modify the source code * transport the source code to MPE/iX * compile the source code * link the resulting object code * execute the resulting program file
