I am using Solaris 8 and the
Solaris Free Ware version of gcc, gtk, and glib.
I am using gtk to add xwindowing
capabilities to our application (message switching).
I connect the application to the
xwindows programs via sockets.
The application starts from the
command line in a dtterm window.
Once started, it the application
forks and executes the initial gtk program and then creates a
socket.
The gtk xwindows program then
connects to the socket established by the application.
In general this works
great.
However, if I use a command line
argument when starting the application, the gtk xwindows program can connect and
read the socket, but cannot write to the socket. It always gets a SIGPIPE
error when it tries. I am confused and baffled why a single command line
argument could cause this.
I have also tried this under SCO
OpenServer 5.0.5 with an older version of gtk, gcc, and glib, and this
particular problem does not occur.
Is this an OS problem? A
Linking problem?
Thanks
Tcarter
