I used it for a while but it was never fully polished.

[ctwm] Imakefile and install paths
Traffic reminds me, I wanted to bring this up. A couple months back, I was converting the FreeBSD port of ctwm over to staging, which basically involves 'make install' putting the files somewhere else than where they will actually be on an installed system. This mostly went as uneventually as could be hoped, but I did find one issue in the Imakefile that needed fixing. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x11-wm/ctwm/files/patch-Imakefile?revision=340372view=markup I _think_ that's actually a bug that should just be fixed upstream, as DESTDIR is meant as the install fakeroot, and CONFDIR/PIXMAPDIR already include the full path relative to real root. But I'm not an expert in what Imake means by various things, so I figured I should get another pair of eyes on it before I pushed it upstream. So, anybody know a reason it's wrong? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
