Hi, all!
Now FVWM2 are up and running nicely, with the win95 look I'd asked for.
All what is left now is to edit setup to fit this installation, I'd
start on that soon.
What I've done is to (removed the extra xpm installation) (1) re-build
xpm (NetBSD source package), as a result everything that depended on xpm
were re-built as well, so it took the entire evening (do not ask how
long, I'd went to bed). There have been a flaw in fvwm95 ( which is in
current use ), when I'd click on a window, it comes to front, but do not
receive focus. I'd have to click on the icon on button bar to gain
focus. When X is recently started it works ok, when I'd click on a
window, it gets to front and focus are gained, but after Netscape have
crashed once or more, I dont get focus by clicking in a window any more.
This behavior now seems to have disappeared, but I'd won't say its gone
quite yet, this bug is of an periodic kind, it's important to be very
patient.
Furthermore I'd have tested the myfvwmtest program sent me from Mikhael
Goikhman, and I'd found that some libXpm.so.4 library were missing.
Links were made in /usr/lib, and after sucessful build, it reported
XpmIncludeVersion=30411, XpmLibraryVersion=30411
as expected. Now, I'd (3) re-installed fvwm2:
./configure --with-xpm-library=/usr/X11R6/lib
--with-xpm-includes=/usr/X11R6/lib
.. this time config summary said "XPM YES". Then I'd executed "make"
and "make install". It came up with that "configure 95" in main menu,
and soon I'd get that 95 look a like desktop.
It seems like that xpm installation were bad. Some strange things also
happened to fvwm2, this may or may not be related to all the xpm
trouble, this time it found the setup 95 script, so the .fvwm2rc file
were installed. Happy ending, despite it is'nt very clear how the
scripts finally made it... Thank you very much all of you, and good luck
with the fvwm development. Feel free to ask more questions.
