B. About the Sun Studio 11: X-Designer
X-Designer is an interactive tool for creating robust Motif-based and Java[tm] graphical user interfaces with minimal effort. X-Designer is a component of the Sun Studio integrated development environment.
X-Designer runs on SPARC[tm] processors running the Solaris[tm] Operating System (Solaris OS), and on x86 processors running the Solaris OS or the Linux operating system. X-Designer requires one of the following configurations:
- Solaris 8 OS and the Motif runtime
- Solaris 9 OS and the Motif runtime
- Solaris 10 OS and the Motif runtime
- Sun[tm] Java Desktop System, Release 3 and OpenMotif 2.1.31
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and OpenMotif 2.1.31
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and the OpenMotif 2.1.31
OpenMotif 2.1.31 is included as a component of Sun Studio 11 software for Linux Platforms. Install this component even if you have OpenMotif 2.2, because X-Designer does not run well with OpenMotif 2.2.
