Binary Compatibility with Previous Version
  • CATIA API users should rebuild and relink all their code with the new catgeo and catlink procedures delivered with CATIA Version 4 Release 2.5.
  • For information about recommended build options, please refer to Installation Requirements/Operating System Requirements and specific Operating System sections:
    • AIX
    • HP-UX
      • Specific HP-UX concern: As CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 was built on HP-UX 10.20, all externals components should be rebuilt on HP 11iv1.
    • SUN Solaris
  • CATIA Version 4 Release 2.5 is using Motif 2.1. For specific information about Motif 2.1 please refer to the Motif 2.1 chapter hereafter
Motif 2.1
CATIA Version 4 Release 2.5 is using Motif 2.1, whereas CATIA Version 4 Release 2.4 was using Motif 1.2. As Motif levels could not be mixed, customers using external components using Motif 1.2 should migrate on Motif 2.1 components.

How to identify components using Motif 1.2

  • under IBM AIX

Check that there is no dependency on libXm.a[shr4.o] with the “dump –H”  tool 

Lib name /Base

Member

Motif level

libXm.a

shr4.o

MOTIF 1.2

libXm.a

Shr_32.o

MOTIF 2.1

 

  • under HP-UX

Motif 2.1 is the default Motif level used when building on HP 11iv1

One should not mix components built on HP 10.20 and components built on HP 11iv1.

  • under SUN Solaris

    Check that there is no dependency on libXm.so.3 with the “ldd” tool

    Motif is present when libXm.so.* is referenced in the output, and here is the correspondence table :

                           

    Lib name

    Motif level

    libXm.so.3

    Motif 1.2

    libXm.so.4

    Motif 2.1
