This package was put together by Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de>.
Previous maintainer was joost witteveen <joostje@dds.hacktic.nl>.

Joost did the following to make it compile:

 - change the libName (soname) in the Imakefile from Xaw3d
     to Xaw (so that ldconfig finds it)

   David Engel suggested a really cool way to keep the
   soname to "Xaw3d", and put a stubb libary with the
   soname Xaw in it that points to the Xaw3d lib.
   This is how debian-revision 1 worked.
   Unfortunately, this caused several problems:
     -the standard X apps editres and viewres don't work anymore.
     -xconsole didn't popup when it received mouse focus
        (if your .fvwmrc make windows do so)
     -asciiTextWidgets under some circumstances (don't know what,
      do have a test case) don't accept keyboard input (but do
      accept cut-and-past input).
   
   Anyway David's suggestion to put the Xaw3d libs in their own
   directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d) and put that directory 
   first in /etc/ld.so.conf is still great, so I still do that.   

 - in the debian.rules file, I make (from the source dir) the
    subdirectory X11, with a symbolic link Xaw3d to ../, so
    that the compiler can find the includefiles X11/Xaw3d/*.


I obtained the sources from ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/widgets/Xaw3d/R6.3/
