glwDrawingAreaWidgetClass

[Chris Carlson]

I apologize for being so vague.

I have a fairly large program that I developed on Fedora Linux.  It uses 
glwDrawingAreaClassRec to create a GL window.  I attempted to compile 
and run it on Cygwin, and I got the failure.

I added a print statement just before calling XtCreateManagedWidget() 
and discovered the value was 0 on Cygwin and an address on Linux.  I 
presumed that meant there was an issue.

To get around the problem, I downloaded the source from Mesa and 
compiled it myself.  The .a that was generated identifies the following 
(using nm):

0000000000000640 D glwDrawingAreaClassRec
0000000000000728 D glwDrawingAreaWidgetClass

I then compared it to /lib/libGLw.dll.a and got this:

nm /lib/libGLw.dll.a | grep DrawingAreaClass
0000000000000000 I __imp_glwMDrawingAreaClassRec
0000000000000000 I __nm_glwMDrawingAreaClassRec
0000000000000000 I __imp_glwDrawingAreaClassRec
0000000000000000 I __nm_glwDrawingAreaClassRec

Now I tried compiling your test program and found that it did work as 
you showed, but I then added the include of GLwDrawA.h, and it fails.  
This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, and it doesn't seem right.

What do you think?  If I want to use the GLwDrawingAreaWidgetClass, I 
would presume that I should include the corresponding header file and 
the class would be defined.

Thanks for your time, and I really do appreciate you and Cygwin.
