The Open Group has released the source code to Motif 2.1.30. You can install the open-motif package, or compile it from ports. Refer to the ports section of the Handbook for more information on how to do this.

In addition, there are commercial distributions of the Motif software available. These, however, are not for free, but their license allows them to be used in closed-source software. Contact Apps2go for the least expensive ELF Motif 2.1.20 distribution for FreeBSD (either i386 or Alpha).

There are two distributions, the ``development edition'' and the ``runtime edition'' (for much less). These distributions includes:

• OSF/Motif manager, xmbind, panner, wsm.

• Development kit with uil, mrm, xm, xmcxx, include and Imake files.

• Static and dynamic ELF libraries (for use with FreeBSD 3.0 and above).

• Demonstration applets.

Be sure to specify that you want the FreeBSD version of Motif when ordering (do not forget to mention the architecture you want too)! Versions for NetBSD and OpenBSD are also sold by Apps2go. This is currently a FTP only download.

Contact Metro Link for an either ELF or a.out Motif 2.1 distribution for FreeBSD.

This distribution includes:

• OSF/Motif manager, xmbind, panner, wsm.

• Development kit with uil, mrm, xm, xmcxx, include and Imake files.

• Static and dynamic libraries (specify ELF for use with FreeBSD 3.0 and later; or a.out for use with FreeBSD 2.2.8 and earlier).

• Demonstration applets.

• Preformatted man pages.

Be sure to specify that you want the FreeBSD version of Motif when ordering! Versions for Linux are also sold by Metro Link. This is available on either a CDROM or for FTP download.

Contact Xi Graphics for an a.out Motif 2.0 distribution for FreeBSD.

This distribution includes:

• OSF/Motif manager, xmbind, panner, wsm.

• Development kit with uil, mrm, xm, xmcxx, include and Imake files.

• Static and dynamic libraries (for use with FreeBSD 2.2.8 and earlier).

• Demonstration applets.

Be sure to specify that you want the FreeBSD version of Motif when ordering! Versions for BSDI and Linux are also sold by Xi Graphics. This is currently a 4 diskette set... in the future this will change to a unified CD distribution like their CDE.
