[SuSE Linux] WindowMaker-0.19.1 success!
I've seen a few messages here about problems compiling and installing the latest WindowMaker-0.19.1 on SuSE 5.3. WindowMaker is one of my most favorite window managers, so I decided to take a shot at compiling it. I haven't updated any graphics libs or anything else. This installation is stock 5.3 from the CD. Here's the steps I used to compile/install: 1) tar zxvf WindowMaker-data.tar.gz 2) cd WindowMaker-data 3) mkdir -p /usr/local/share/pixmaps 4) cp pixmaps/* /usr/local/share/pixmaps/. 5) cd .. 6) tar zxvf WindowMaker-0.19.1.tar.gz 7) cd WindowMaker-0.19.1 8) tar zxvf libProplist.tar.gz 9) cd libProplist 10) ./configure 11) make 12) make install 13) cd .. 14) ./configure --enable-sound --with-gfx-libs="-L/usr/X11R6/lib" --with-gfx-incs="-I/usr/X11R6/include" 15) make 16) make install The resulting binaries work extremely well, and the new configuration panel is a dream come true! -- Steve Philp sphilp@ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Tried exactly the same ./configure line and still go bad results. Wonder if I'm missing a lib somewhere ? In function `testDraw' is the problem. Steve Philp <sphilp@ameritech.net> wrote:

The resulting binaries work extremely well, and the new configuration panel is a dream come true!

Okay, I did a bit of poking around in the sources, watching the build, hopefully something out of this will help out. After building libPropList, I cd'ed into the wrlib directory where testdraw.c lives (it contains the testDraw function). A 'make' in that directory will pop out a bunch of test programs. Checking the testdraw binary with ldd gives these results: tippy:/backup/sources/WindowMaker-0.19.1/wrlib # ldd testdraw libtiff.so.3 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x4000d000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40043000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40051000) libz.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4006a000) libjpeg.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libjpeg.so.6 (0x40079000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40099000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400a4000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40144000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4014d000) Checking on those libs, they're supplied by: tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libtiff.so.3.4.37 libtiff-3.4.37-17 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libXpm.so.4.10 xpm-3.4j-10 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libpng.so.2.1.0 libpng-1.0.1-2 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libz.so.1.1.2 libz-1.1.2-2 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libjpeg.so.6.0.1 libjpeg-6.0.1-15 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libXext.so.6.3 xshared-3.3.2.3-5 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # rpm -qf libX11.so.6.1 xshared-3.3.2.3-5 tippy:/usr/X11R6/lib # cd /lib tippy:/lib # rpm -qf libm.so.5.0.9 shlibs-5.4.46-1 tippy:/lib # rpm -qf libc.so.5.4.46 shlibs-5.4.46-1 Like I mentioned earlier, I'm extremely new to SuSE, so maybe there's an issue in upgrading that I didn't hit with a fresh install?

Thanks so much.

<snipped> I have all the same libs.

Do you know how to build rpm's ? If so, an rpm for SuSE 5.3 would work. Thanks again, -Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) deem@wdm.com Faith is acting on your passions and beliefs. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I think I might be able to hack and slash my way through it. Hopefully, the wmaker.src.rpm will have a decent enought spec file that I'll be able to make something useful. I've written your email addy down and I'll send you mail once I get something together. -- Steve Philp sphilp@ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
