This helpfile
has been contributed by Billy Constantine (SysAdmin at University of
Adelaide, Mech Eng). This file describes how to get the Unix version
of OMA-X running on Microsoft Windows, using the Cygwin compatibility
layer.
The system used was an HP Compaq D530 SFF, Pentium 4 2.7GHz with
512MB RAM. Pre-installed software consisted of Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4,
Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, all relevant hotfixes from MS03-041 to MS04-028
(most recent at install time) and Symantec Antivirus 8.1.
The process consists of three main steps:
- - installation
of Cygwin
-
- compilation and installation of XForms
-
- compilation of OMA-X
1) Installation of Cygwin
- Download the current Cygwin installer from http://www.cygwin.com/
- setup.exe v2.427
- Run the installer, and select the following packages to install

This represents a minimal Cygwin install, plus C compiler, JPEG
development libraries, X development libraries and an X server.
- Once installed,
run the batch file <CYGWIN>\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat;
this should give you a running X server and an xterm.
2) Compilation and installation of
XForms
- Download the
XForms source package from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xforms/
-xforms-1.0.90.tar.gz
- In the Cygwin xterm, unpack the xforms archive, cd to the directory
that was created, and execute
./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --with-extra-inc=/usr/X11R6/include
make
make install
This will
install a GL-aware XForms package under /usr/X11R6
(instead of /usr/local
- this will simplify the OMA
build procedure).
3) Compilation of OMA
- Download the "OMA for Unix
X-windows Bundle" from
http://oma-x.org/download.htm
xoma.tgz
v1.0b
- In the Cygwin xterm, unpack the xoma archive and cd to the directory
that was
created.
- Edit the Makefile
so that the linker will search /usr/X11R6/bin
in addition
to /usr/X11R6/lib, ie:
gcc -L/usr/X11R6/bin -L$(LIBX) -o $(EXEC1) $(OBJECTS1)
-lX11 -lm -lforms
- Edit the file uxdisplay.c and comment out line 1260:
*(cp + strlen(cp)-1) = 0; // get
rid of echoed character
which causes a fatal
compile error when left in (assignment of read-only
location)
- Execute:
make oma
./oma.exe
This will compile and run the OMA binary that was just built. To
check that it
works,
hit a key (eg Enter or Space) in the "OMA Commands" window, and once
the "OMA>" prompt has appeared, do:
get test
displa
This should open a window displaying
the test data, found in the build
directory.
BUGS
- The OMA Commands window
isn't active until a key has been pressed.
- The location of cursor within the OMA Commands window is important.
Hitting
keys when the cursor does not immediately follow the prompt can
have
unexpected effects.
