Anyone have a detailled how-to for installing fvwm 2.5.5 under debian sarge ?
Well, this is the way how i installed it under woody:
* keep the original fvwm package installed, so you still can use the autogenerated debian-menus, if you like to have it included in one of your menus:
AddToMenu StartMenu + Mozilla exec /opt/mozilla/mozilla
Read /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook
If you do not need this you can deinstall the packeg "fvwm".
* compile the 2.5.x source as described (configure; make)
* do not use "make install" but instead "checkinstall" (needs to be installed by "apt-get install checkinstall"). Change the name of the package to somewhat like "fvwm-selfcompiled" to not collide with the original name "fvwm".
* Pay attention to really start the correct new /usr/local/bin/fvwm.
Works for me.
