RE: [SLE] WindowMaker 0.80 on Suse 7.3
Should be, I'm running 0.80, and that's my WMRootMenu. I haven't had any crashes with 0.80 either, so maybe I'm just lucky. :) L -----Original Message----- From: Eric Pierce [mailto:eric_suse@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 9:27 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] WindowMaker 0.80 on Suse 7.3 --- Uzo Kemdi Anyamele <anyamele@btopenworld.com> wrote:

Luis, Appearently you and I are the only people using WindowMaker :)
Say what ? I never look at anything else, whilst at the wheel.
Window Maker is all I use as well. The version that comes in 7.3 has NEVER crashed nor given my any problems (hello, KDE2). The 'if it's not broken don't fix it' line of thinking has kept me from updating to 0.80.0. Is the WMRootMenu from 0.65 not compatible with 0.80?

Hi, Concerning this, I decided to build from source on my running dual PIII, with ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --enable-kde --enable-gnome --enable-sound --enable-usermenu --enable-single-icon And to quote from the INSTALL notes : "If you installed the Window Maker package from SuSE, uninstall it before trying to compile wmaker or you might have problems" So, I uninstalled all the wmaker and dependencies before running, make make install ldconfig Of course, I installed system-wide and then as for my normal usage ran wmaker.inst for the config files in my home directory. It was a good thing that I back up all my working .GNUstep stuff first. Well, Wmaker 0.80 starts up, then BOMBS.... very unstable. No use here So, good people, I simply went back to the default wmaker 0.65 and all's fine as expected. Then, my question is : How did you get your 0.80 running with SuSE 7.3 ? Did you have to go from 0.65 to 0.70 to 0.80, gently letting go and repointing the un-needed libraries ? Any takers ? Happy SuSing -- Kemdi IN_SuSE_d Since 5.2 123792 of counter.li.org ICQ:112290572

No one can help you if you don't include any error messages. FYI, I have compiled the CVS version of Window Maker ever since the 0.1 days and have never had it bomb out on me. Are you sure that you don't have an older copy of libwraster hanging around? This seem to be the most common problem.

No, just compile it from CVS. Charles -- The box saids Windows XP or better, so I installed Linux
