Hi... I was trying to install WindowMaker 0.20.3 that I got from www.windowmaker.org
In the INSTALL file, it said: The following is required to build Window Maker: -Basic Obvious Stuff If you will build Window Maker, make sure you have gcc (or some other ANSI C compiler) and the X header files installed. Specially for newbie Linux users: you must install all X development packages and the gcc suite. Otherwise you won't be able to build any X program, including WindowMaker. And then, further down: - Debian Linux If you want JPEG and TIFF support, make sure you have libtiff-dev and libjpeg-dev So I went ahead with the make anyway, got some problems, but installed some packages to solve the problem. But now I get stuck at : gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../src -g -O2 -c test.c gcc -g -O2 -o test test.o -L. -lwraster -lX11 -lm ld: cannot open -lX11: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [test] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving Directory `/home/tunabear/WindowMaker-0.20.3/wrlib' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Alright... so I don't think I can build any X program at this point... but I can't find any X header/development stuff I didn't install....can someone tell me the packages? Also, I can't find libtiff-dev and libjpeg-dev packages, so maybe my problem is I need frozen/slink? If so, what's the best way to upgrade? At this point, the way I would do it is to use ftp in dselect, point it to slink, update the packages, and do the upgrades. Or maybe use apt-get dselect-upgrade (because the last time I used dselect to try and do that, it screwed up..) I just did a search through the recent mail list archive, and there's quite a few messages against upgrading to frozen/slink... (I'm tired of reinstalling/fixing, so I'm asking before plunging blindly ahead :) ) if I shouldn't upgrade, how does anyone use new stuff without waiting weeks, or months for a new stable distribution? thanks in advance again..
