x11-wm/fluxbox fluxbox-generate_menu lists all available programs.
Hello!
The script fluxbox-generate_menu shipped with current versions of
fluxbox (fluxbox-1.1.0.1_1 and 1.1.1 too, I think) produces
menu with all known programs. The reason for it is find_it* family
of functions used to determine if the program exists (see attached test.sh).
It expects that 'hash' will return non-zero exit code when it cannot find
the command and it is true on linix (some Ubuntu with 'dash', surprisingly
enough, man says it is BSD sh), but not here:
~ uname -a
FreeBSD wep4035.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sun
Sep 21 18:51:53 CEST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
amd64
~ ./test.sh ls
Found ls
~ ./test.sh bla-bla-non-existent
Found bla-bla-non-existent
Substituting 'hash' with 'which' solves the problem more or less,
but I am not a sh guru to claim it is 100% correct.
It could be also a sh(1) bug...
Alexey.

I agree for 'which' is best thing to do. Not all shells (csh, see in builtin(1)) have 'hash' stuff. I have bring all of hash - which stuff from 1.0.0, so let me know patches work for you. http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/patch-util%3a%3afluxbox-generate_menu.in http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/patch-util_fbsetbg Put those files in x11-wm/fluxbox/files/ and reinstall fluxbox. It could be also a sh(1) bug... No idea, I get same result with zsh.

The patch-util_fbsetbg fixed the inability to set backgrounds. I had almost forgotten about this minor problem. The fluxbox-generate_menu.in patch results in an improved function but I recommend users backup their ~/.fluxbox in case it does something odd (I have a highly customized menu).

In case, if you haven't done then be sure to remove this patch before you update your ports tree. http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/diff/patch-util_fbsetbg Put those files in x11-wm/fluxbox/files/ and reinstall fluxbox.

But any users that have custom menu shouldn't be use fluxbox-generate_menu thought. Thanks again for fluxbox patches ;-) Me too :) Np and thank for test. Both patches have been committed.
