Well, there are two dockapp libraries in Gentoo: the first one is 'docklib'
which is the original dockapp library created by Alfredo Kojima, who created
Windowmaker; the second is 'libdockapp', which is an extension of the first
created by Pascal Hofstee. Unfortunatly, they install to the same place
(overwriting header files), so you can't have both. You should have the
second one, but only the first one seems to contain the 'wmtest' example
program.
That's probably a bit confusing to start with. What I would suggest is:
emerge libdockapp
emerge -f docklib (We want the package, but not to install it)
cd <whatever temp directory you want to use>
tar zxvf /usr/portage/distfiles/docklib-0.2.tar.gz
cd docklib-0.2
gcc -g -O2 -o wmtest wmtest.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXpm -lXext -lX11 -ldockapp
The 'wmtest.c' program is a fairly simple counter program, but it does show
how the dockapp library works. It's unfortunate that it's not actually in
the tarball (though it's listed in the README file).
If you don't like coding to the library (I have no idea how well it would
work for fluxbox), the library itself should still serve as an example of
how to write a simple dockapp.
