Hello, let first start by introducing myself: I'm a long time linux user, and tired of rebooting the home machine because childrens can't play Zoo Tycon under linux. I've just fiddled a bit with WindowMaker, and finally compiled the latest version, 0.92. It ran out of the box, configured as
CC=gcc-4 CPP=cpp-4 CXX=g++-4 ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/var --datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gnustepdir=/usr/lib/GNUstep/System Two explanations: 1) the path reflect the way there are setup in the corresponding debian package 2) I compiled it under gcc-4 In order to make it run: 1) create a ~/.xserverrc file with export CYGWIN=server exec X :0 This ensures the X server starts with the MIT-SHM ewtension enabled, run 'cygserver-config' once to have the required service enabled under Windows 2) launch wmaker at the end of .xinitrc as exec env CYGWIN=server LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8 wmaker This ensures that wmaker can access shared memory from the client side So ... it works. I used it with Belgian french locales. I would like to share the new wmaker package. To this end I tried to install it locally as make PREFIX=/usr/src/WindowMaker-0.92.0/package/ install but the package ended up being installed under /usr Could someone tell me how to generate a package under cygwin ? Where should I sent it to have it included in the cygwin distribution ? Which compiler should I use ? gcc-3 ? MingGW ? gcc-4 ?
