Hello All,
I admit, I am a lazy admin and like clicking with a mouse
whilst talking on the phone, drinking tea and eating toast.
I got used to XFE from using Linux and have enjoyed it in
FreeBSD - until I installed it under 5.3
I am also an XFE fan, I love the command line also, but XFE is very
useful for browsing the directories and making massive copying of files.
Now it core dumps for no reason whatsoever. At any time.
My installation was package originally so I updated ports
and compiled XFE - but no difference - it still bombs out.
I have just updated the ports collection and tried to compile XFE but is
is marked as broken:
#make install clean
xfe-0.72_1 is marked as broken: Does not build with current fox-devel
version.
Update your ports collection and you will get the same error as mine.
(Before updating the ports collection I had the same error as yours)
I think is is a matter of waiting for them to fix it.
I have tried to fix the makefile but I am not an expert and I abandoned.

So I figure I would like to try compiling from the latest
source from the XFE site on sourceforge. The forum explicitly
says you need Fox 1.2 and wont work with anythig else
(I had 1.4 so I de-installed and DL / made version 1.2
- which BTW comes with quite a useable and stable
FM called PathFinder as well as a competent editor)
So with my Fox 1.2 installation made installed I came to
make XFE which now reports ;
checking for fxfindfox in -lFOX-1.2 ... no !
configure error: libFOX not found
I googled on this and found some stuff relating to the
wrong version of the Fox libraries and also some people
who have the same problem as me but the bottom drops
off those threads with no answers :(
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks!
