I download the source for lesstif and compiled it no problem. This
allowed me to install and use several motif apps, the most important of
which is xbill!
http://www.lesstif.org/ (X11 and X11-SDK required...worked on Jaguar and
Panther)
I think Mac X11 users are used to a slightly mixed look-and-feel. Unless
you want to learn Carbon/Cocoa, and rewrite you app entirely, I'd stick
with X11 and you'll be able to maintain relative portability.
Have fun!

I'm into an initial investigation of porting my SGI IRIX X/Motif application

1. I don't see much mention of Motif anywhere. Can someone please direct
me to some links that might help? I'm trying to determine if I want to use
X/Motif, or rewrite the GUIs in my application to native Mac look & feel.
2. Assuming that I decide to use my existing X/Motif look & feel, how
acceptable might it be to Mac users? This is a commercial application that
I am trying to sell in a Mac environment. Am I going to be wasting my time?
Would I be better off spending my time rewriting the GUI portion of my
application? I'd like the least-costly approach of course, but I'm not very
familiar with generic Mac users.
