[platform-swt-dev] Re: SWT on Irix?

["Grant Gayed" <Grant_Gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wayne,

It's hard to say what the issue is as
we've never tried or seen this before; hopefully someone else on the list
has (?).

Do you have the full stack trace available
to post (in workspace/.metadata/.log)?  Since the motif implementations
across the various platforms have subtle differences, it could be either
a bug in the irix motif implementation or a constraint that's being enforced
there but not elsewhere.

Hi Grant, Jim,

(sorry can't reply to Jims post, don't see it listed anymore?)

I have been successful in building SWT (and the launcher) on Irix,
but I would be interested in what problems Jim had with Motif1.2 vs 2.1,
cause it didn't seem much on an issue for me.

What is an issue for me is that eclipse doesn't run, it starts but I get
an error from the launcher when it tries to "StartJVM". Seems
I have
an issue with the the JNI call to Motif.

Either running:
    eclipse (irix launcher)
or
    java -cp ./startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -ws
motif
(which is basically what the launcher does)

I get:
   Assertion failed: y1 <= y2, file Region.c, line 1238, pid i83417
   Abort (core dumped)

and
   A dialog with stating the jvm didn't start and the call (including
args)
that was made.

The call at the top of the stack which creates this assertion is
XmManageChild (I think).

Short of debugging motif (which I started, but haven't found anything yet),
I am sort of lost as to where to go from here. And also as to what the
problem
really is and what is causing it. Has anyone seen something like this
before?
Any suggestions as to where to go next?
BTW I am using JDK1.4.
