hi there,

first  time  mail  to this list: I noted today that the wmii
package  unfortenuately  is  orphaned  in  `macports',   the
package management system of MacOS X.

for  now, I tried a source install and ran into problems.  I
got `dmenu' and libixp-0.4 installed. but

make configure
make

for `wmii' yielded:

=================CUT====================
...
MAKE all cmd/
CC cmd/util.o
CC cmd/wmii9menu.o
LD cmd/wmii9menu.O
FILTER cmd/wmii9rc.sh
FILTER cmd/wmiiloop.sh
CC cmd/wmiir.o
LD cmd/wmiir.O
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt0.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [wmiir.O] Error 1
make: *** [dall] Error 2
=================CUT====================

does  somebody  have  a  hint  how to fix this? mail archive
seems not to include this problem.


many thanks,

joerg

PS:  if  there's  somebody  out  there  able  to  take  over
maintance of the macports package (I'm not,  I'm  afraid...)
that  would  be great of course. it should be similar to the
FreeBSD ports system of which it derives. it would  be  nice
to see the package maintained the more so as tuomo valkonen,
the `ion3' author, is on the warpath again and  has  managed
to  get  ion3  kicked  out  of several repositories, FreeBSD
ports and macports among them. so people will start  looking
for  alternatives, as I am doing right now. and as I learned
only recently, MacOS X  installation  base  is  much  larger
(factor  five  or  so?) than all the rest (Unixes + Linuxes)
combined. and quite some  people  use  these  machines  with
fullscreen X11, too.
