libXaw - X Athena Widgets Xaw is a widget set based on the X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt) Library. This release of __distroname__ includes 3 versions of the Xaw library. Since the libXaw object model exposes structure sizes and layouts as part of the ABI, binary compatibility is not always maintained between major releases from the upstream X Window System projects.

libXaw.so.7 is the current release of libXaw, from the X11R7 release series. Headers are provided for building applications against this version, and the libXaw compilation link for -lXaw points to this version.

libXaw.so.5 " and " libXaw.so.4 are provided for binary compatibility with applications built on older Solaris releases. libXaw.so.5 is compatible with the X11R5 and X11R6 release series, and was the version of libXaw that applications built on Solaris 2.3 through Solaris 10 were linked with. libXaw.so.4 is based on the X11R4 sources, and was linked to applications built on Solaris 2.2 and prior releases of Solaris.

Future releases of Solaris might not include the libXaw.so.4 or libXaw.so.5 libraries. Applications using the Athena Widgets which need to run on future releases of Solaris should be rebuilt against the current Xaw headers and libXaw.so.7 library.
