Re: FVWM: Compiling fvwm-2

Al Lovrich,

I had the same problem, as have many others. Time ago a kind person
from .uk (whose name I have forgotten) posted a patch, which worked
for me. Put the lines below in a file (eg 'make.patch') and use the command
patch < make.patch makefile.h, where makefile.h is the one being distributed
in the top directory of fvwm just after it untar'ed. It looks like the
problem is a wrong link command, which has the libraries in the wrong
order. I wish someone would upload a new copy with this fix included, since
at least all Linux users will have this problem.

I will now spend the weekend on making .fvwm2rc .. but might some of you
have such files already, that I or others could build on? Anyway, I shall
post mine somewhere, if I ever finish it.
