Hello,
and sorry to join this list with a rather long question.
I've been using FVWM as distributed w/Linux for many years (and love it).
I think this may be the first time I've tried to build it. I'm playing
with the new tkgoodstuff and needed fvwm2. I downloaded fvwm-2.0.43.tar.gz
from ftp.hpc.uh.edu:pub/fvwm/version-2/ and unpacked it but failed to build
it
... it may be a rather trivial problem, but if anyone can offer any
advice on what I should be looking for, I'd be very grateful:
On Linux 2.0.2 kernel,
Slackware distribution probably based on 1.2.13,
GNU Make version 3.74
gcc version 2.7.0
... Following the instructions in INSTALL:
First, I didn't see anything obvious that needed changing in configure.h
and Fvwm.tmpl ...
hp1et:/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43$ xmkmf
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
hp1et:/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43$ make Makefiles
making Makefiles in libs...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43/libs'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `Makefiles'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43/libs'
# ... etc. Same for all subdirectories, then ...
hp1et:/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43$ make
making all in ./libs...
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/fvwm-2.0.43/libs'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `CatString3.o', needed by `libfvwm2.a'. Stop.
# Likewise;
# fvwm: *** No rule to make target `add_window.o', needed by `fvwm2'. Stop.
# FvwmAudio: *** No rule to make target `FvwmAudio.o', needed by `FvwmAudio'. Stop.
# FvwmAuto: *** No rule to make target `FvwmAuto.o', needed by `FvwmAuto'. Stop.
I won't bore you with the rest, but basically nothing much compiled!
Have I missed a step here? I read the success messages in the mailing list
archives, so I know it can be done!
Thanks
