Do you have WindowMaker 0.65 installed already? If not, rpm it from the CD's, then try the ./configure && make && make install bit from your 0.80 directory. Lee

Just tried to compile 0.8 Windowmaker for SuSE 7.3 Pro and it failed with the messages...
config.status: error: cannot find input file: WINGs/Makefile.in
I read the documentation and saw nothing regarding this, what do I do?

Did as you suggested but still get this error. Does it matter that the source is located in my home directory? Below is the last lines of output.... configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating po/Makefile config.status: creating util/Makefile config.status: creating test/Makefile config.status: creating WINGs/Makefile config.status: error: cannot find input file: WINGs/Makefile.in bruce:/home/bsteph/WindowMaker-0.80.0 #

Well I just compiled Qtella 0.5, so should I assume that this means I've got those two files?

Ok, they were not installed. I have now done that, I re-run the ./configure --enable-kde && make && make install command and I'm still getting the same error.

Rerunning configure is just going to run the config.status that was created and use the old broken values. rm config.status or, better, 'make distclean' if that works. -- -ckm

Thanks everyone. All your suggestion have lead to the happy conculsion. Next I need to add WindowMaker to KDM's list of Window Managers. How is that done. Never did that one before.
