Where can I find library for stdio_iso.h

[ruud30]

I recently installed Suse 10.3 and wanted to do some developing. I therefore downloaded the XForms package and wanted to compile it. I get several errors saying some headers are missing (stdio_iso.h, isa_defs.h, string_iso.h).
I've been searching the internet for quite a while now, but I don't seem to find the correct answer for my problem.
Can anyone help?

What language is it written in? I suspect Java if so you need to install the gcc-java package. It seems that the xxxx-iso.h files come with that.

Sorry I didn't mentioned it but It is written in standard c.
In fact it is a collection of c-functions with which you can make screenlayouts, buttons, sliders etc.
You can design yout screenlayout outside your c-program and the designer will provide you with the necessary structures and programs.

All references for stdio_iso.h I can find point to Sun.

Where did you get the XForms package from??

I found it through a search in google, going to wikipedia (XForms - LinuxWiki.org - Linux Wiki und Freie Software) and then at last to XForms, a GUI toolkit for X - Summary [Savannah]

It looks like that package may be setup to compile on a Solars system rather then a Linux. stdio_iso.h seems to be Sun specific. I don't know what is different in it from the normal c stdio.h file.

I just made an entry in the Bug tracking section at XForms, a GUI toolkit for X - Bugs: Browse Items [Savannah].
I can't make out the XForms package is Sun specific. It says it is a GUI Toolkit for X. So I must be able to run it on OpenSUSE 10.3. I'm using an older version of this toolkit on AIX since a couple of years and I used the package on an older version of SuSe also.
I downloaded the AIX-version as a binary-package specially for AIX 4.3.
So lets wait and see.

I'm going to answer my own post. Maybe it is helpful for someone else.
A few days ago I remembered I once bought a full distribution of Suse Professional 9.0 which contained the xforms package..
So I copied the required rpms to a local directory on my OpenSuse 10.3 and installed the rpms. After searching a while for the correct places for the libraries and header-files I was able to compile a demo program delivered with the package.
So at this moment I can do what I want and my search is finished.
Case Closed.
