It's very hard for me to make the right adjustments with only free form sentences as a description. Content-Description: Fvwm.VMS.log SUBJECT: Changes made for VMS build Changes made to fvwm V2.4.2 for successful VMS compile -- - Unpacked kit. - Copied .mms, .opt and config.h to root. Copied vms.% to [.libs] - Modified MAKE_FVWM.MMS: - Defined BaseDirFix, BaseDir. - Removed XpmInclude, XpmLib and all references thereto. - Added blank line after all comment lines ending in -. (MMS seems to take the next line as a contunuation with weird results.) - Edited config.h: - #undef XPM - Added the following, found in acconfig.h /* Define if stroke library is used. */ #undef HAVE_STROKE #ifdef HAVE_STROKE #define STROKE_ARG(x) x, #define STROKE_CODE(x) x #else #define STROKE_ARG(x) #define STROKE_CODE(x) #endif - Edit MAKE_FVWM.MMS: Re-sync with current state of the source (removing stale modules, adding new ones). - Wondering if the typedef for fvwm_msg_type includes reserved words. Added an 'X' to the front of each. - Added #define fd_set_size_t int to config.h. (From successful Unix build; shot in the dark.) - Added #define FVWM_CONFDIR /Sys$Login to config.h. - Ignoring the pointer mismatch and conversion warnings for now. - Closed comment on line previous to #define USEDECOR 1 in config.h that prevented the definition being made. (Took some time to find this one.) - Changing ECHO to XECHO, as done previously in the typedef. - Included: #include builtins.h #define alloca __ALLOCA (There is also a version of alloca included in [.libs]. Not sure yet whether to use or not.) - Added #define SELECT_FD_SET_CAST to config.h. - Removed local version of strcasecmp; Appears to be part of C RTL. - Removed local version of strerror; Appears to be part of C RTL. - Removed local version of strncasecmp; Appears to be part of C RTL. - Removed local version of usleep; Appears to be part of C RTL. - in [.libs]FVWMLIB.H, changed #include Parse.h to libs/Parse.h. Was getting confused with the parse.h in the fvwmbuttons module. - Removed FvwmBanner module; appears too tied into XPM, which I don't have. (Does not use the HAVE_XPM flag.) - Removed #include sys/param.h in FVWMCPP.C; Could not find. Needed? - In FvwmCpp: Replaced: char *cpp_prog = FVWM_CPP; with char *cpp_prog = FVWM_CPP; FVWM_CPP is not defined anywhere. - Removed FvwmGTK module. Includes headers not available. Don't understand what this is. - Removed #include sys/param.h from FVWMM4.C. - Removed #include syslog.h form
Compilation and VMS
Hello all. At last, a guy tried to play with fvwm 2.4.2 on OpenVMS. The compilation stage had been very difficult, because the code changed a lot since my original port.
