makedefs additions

In AIPS++, the IDL-specific code is ignored unless the variable HAVE_IDL_LIB is defined in the makedefs. Hence to compile the code, you must add the following to your makedefs under Linux.

# IDL 5.* (needed for Pixons): note that the true Motif (iso LessTif)
# is needed.
IDLROOT  := /usr/local/rsi/idl
IDLDEFS  := -DHAVE_IDL_LIB
IDLINCD  := $(IDLROOT)/external
IDLLIBD  := $(IDLROOT)/bin/bin.linux.x86
IDLLIB   := -L$(IDLLIBD) -lidl -lMesaGLU -lMesaGL -ltermcap

For Solaris:

# IDL 5.* (needed for Pixons): note that the true Motif (iso LessTif)
# is needed.
IDLROOT  := /usr/local/rsi/idl
IDLDEFS  := -DHAVE_IDL_LIB
IDLINCD  := $(IDLROOT)/external
IDLLIBD  := $(IDLROOT)/bin/bin.sparc.solaris
IDLLIB   := -L$(IDLLIBD) -lidl -lMesaGLU -lMesaGL -ltermcap

Note that LessTif is not sufficient to allow IDL to be linked in. Instead a truly compatible Motif 2.0 library must be used. Under Linux, the best solution is to use OpenMotif which has an acceptable license. OpenMotif may be found at
