Description

Hello,

Could I try to convince a developer of macports to write a port for this?

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/app/cwm/

http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=cwm

There's also a port for linux, if that helps somehow:

http://www.martintoft.dk/?p=cwm

Thanks,

Pau

Hi I compiled this on my PowerPC mac and only some few warnings. The problem is that it won't build with the supplied configure script due to some symbols apparently being moved from -lXft to -lfontconfig. If "-lfontconfig" is manually added in the Makefile (see attached file) the program will compile and execute.

I have not tested this since it seems to be a keyboard-only window manager (novel idea) and I imagine it would only be useful in full-screen X mode, which I do not use.

Best,

Alexander

Sorry silly didn't realize the Makefile was specific for PowerPC arch and 10.5 ... I have attached a bash script which will properly configure cwm-3 with added library "fontconfig". Tested build from "make distclean" and cwm runs as primary window manager (10.5 as I mentioned).

However, it seems only mouse functions on the window border work. It doesn't appear to get anything from the root window in terms of the documented commands (tested in full-screen mode).

Sorry, needs more work.
