Description of problem: Currently compiled and RPM packaged in RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 Motif libraries have the problem of LONG_BIT not being defined. For instance /lib64/libXm.so is a 64-bit shared library but it seems not to be built with LONG_BIT == 64. The problem is with Motif code (upstream) actually. Even with "#include <limits.h>" added, LONG_BIT is still not defined *unless* you add -D_XOPEN_SOURCE to the build command line. But if you do so, the build fails because caddr_t (an old BSD'ism) is not defined. So to build properly, we need two things: 1. Define _XOPEN_SOURCE where LONG_BIT is used 2. Replace caddr_t Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Motif-library (/lib64/libXm.so.4.0.4) In motif-2.3.4-16.el8.x86_64.rpm etc. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The error message on RHEL 7 and 8 was: _XtGetStringValues: bad size 8 Tracing it back in the Motif source we found:: static void _XtGetStringValues(Widget w, Arg *warg, int numargs) { ... switch (res->resource_size) { case 1: ... case 2: ... case 4: ... #if (LONG_BIT == 64) case 8: ... #endif default: fprintf(stderr, "_XtGetStringValues: bad size %d\n", res->resource_size); string = "bad size"; ... } } Expected results: Libraries to be compiled with LONG_BIT set to 64.
