Re: FVWM: minimal rc commands to give active inactive windowtitle a color

This window is not shown in window list or in the taskbar either nor does it have fvwm-window decorations. Which really bothers is that this window stays on top so one cannot see other windows.

So I ask everybody to review it and/or try to compile it
I'm at work, SPARC Solaris 5.8. gcc complains a lot many times, but
compiles happily, as expected. But Sun's own proprietary forte-cc
fails to compile it.

If I understand the True Gnu Way Of Doing Things right, configure should read any CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS and ...) you have set in your shell and write them to the appropriate Makefiles, such that afterwards, make CFLAGS=$CFLAGS should be equivalent to simply saying make , and make CFLAGS=aVerySpecialFlag would be the same as make CFLAGS=aVerySpecialFlag $CFLAGS Of course there can be good reasons to disable CFLAGS recognition in configure, but then things do not work the True Gnu Way anymore (which is not A Bad Thing, but maybe it deserves to be mentioned in the INSTALL file).

However we have had reports that compiling the sources under MacOSX is relatively painless, so I suggest you give this a try.

Hard-to-detect ``old binaries hanging around'' problem
Hello list, I recently, finally, pulled myself together to upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.4.8, and I am pretty impressed about an apparent enhancement in speed I really didn't suspect: I expected 2.4.8 to be slightly slower actually, since it's more complex. Good work... OK, here's the deal: make install creates a symbolic link fvwm - fvwm2 in BINDIR, which in my case is /pack/fvwm/bin, with a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin. There is also a file /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2, the old fvwm-2.2.2. In my PATH, /usr/local/bin comes way before /usr/X11R6/bin. The last line of my .xinitrc says ``exec /usr/local/bin/fvwm'', which as I said is a link to /pack/fvwm/bin/fvwm, which in turn is a link to fvwm2. This last link is the problem, since apparently .xinitrc ignores everything about my PATH and finds this fvwm2 in /usr/X11R6/bin, instead of /pack/fvwm/bin. I.e. my old fvwm-2.2.2 gets started. It took me a couple of days to find out what happened, and of course the problem was solved easily by moving /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 to a safe and unaccessible place... But the problem could've been avoided from the beginning by creating links with absolute paths instead of relative paths during install: Before: $BINDIR/fvwm- fvwm2 After: $BINDIR/fvwm- $BINDIR/fvwm2 (and likewise with fvwm-root, btw.) I guess a little change to Makefile.am or similar could solve this, but I know nothing about autoconf, so I can't submit a patch.

Yes of course, sorry for the trouble. I was messing around with my .xinitrc and .xsession etc just a bit too much, so I got lost. Now my setup is exactly as I was describing (with the ``old'' symlinks and /usr/X11R6/fvwm2 existing), and I get 2.4.8 running...
