Hello Everyone,
I just recently discovered fvwm and am trying to install it on a
SunOS 4.1.2 1 sun4c, which is a fairly common architecture.
When I try to compile fvwm 1.24 or fvwm 2.0b there are hundreds of
errors of this type...
cc -O -pipe -c CatString3.c -o CatString3.o
"CatString3.c", line 12: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"CatString3.c", line 14: a undefined
"CatString3.c", line 14: b undefined
"CatString3.c", line 14: c undefined
and
./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 1: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 2: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 3: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 4: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 5: syntax error at or near type word "int"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 6: syntax error at or near type word "int"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 7: syntax error at or near type word "int"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 8: syntax error at or near type word "char"
"./../../libs/fvwmlib.h", line 9: syntax error at or near type word "int"
Is this because I am specifying the cc compiler instead of gcc?
I also attempted to install libXpm to get the color icons but got this
error
(cd .; ld -o ./libXpm.so.3.0~ -assert pure-text data.o create.o
misc.o rgb.o scan.o parse.o hashtable.o XpmCrBufFrI.o XpmCrDataFrP.o
XpmCrPFrBuf.o XpmRdFToI.o XpmWrFFrI.o XpmCrBufFrP.o XpmCrIFrBuf.o
XpmCrPFrData.o XpmRdFToP.o XpmWrFFrP.o XpmCrDataFrI.o XpmCrIFrData.o
XpmRdFToData.o XpmWrFFrData.o )
ld: unrecognized -a option `ssert'
make[1]: *** [libXpm.so.3.0] Error 1
I am using the gnu ld, and there is no -assert option. Is -format
the correct substitution for -assert? Is gcc also necessary when
compiling libXpm?
One last question, what is the latest stable version of fvwm?
Everything I read on the www or at ftp sites says something
different. Is there a non-beta release of fvwm 2.0 and where could
I get it?
Thanks,
Chad
