Curently I am trying to Backport fvwm 2.5.8 to Debian/WOODY...

Big grrrrrrrrrrr.........

OK, I have tried to trim the dependencies to the Versions in WOODY...
..but it requires libfontconfig1-dev which is NOT in WOODY !

OK, downloaded and... trimed down the dependencies...
Arg....

I can not change in the control-file the dependencies to
libfreetype6-dev back to 2.0.9 for WOODY.

It requires funktions which are not availlable in 2.0.9

I have already a backport of 2.1.7-2 which comes from UNSTABLE
but it conflicts with openoffice.org1.1, which REQUIRES a version
>> 2.1.0 !

My openoffice.org1.1 backport is

deb ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/debian-openoffice/ woody main contrib

OK, I have deinstalled (realy bad Idea) openoffice.org1.1 and
installed the newer libfreetype6 version...

Noww it seems to build fine the 'fontconfig1' without...
f...

binutils from woody are 2.12.90.0.1 and make an error:

objcopy: unrecognized option `--only-keep-debug`

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think, if a WOODY system must be upgraded with

libfreetype6-dev version 2.1.7 which conflicts with openoffice.org1.1 and
binutils must updated to Version 2.14.90.0.7 then it is inacceptable.

Please let me know.

If someone like to get it, I will compile it up to the end, but I need
openoffice.org.1.1 and can personaly not use fvwm 2.5.8

But be warned !!!

Updating of binutils can make you trouble...

Greetings
Michelle
