The long-awaited WindowMaker port upgrade is here! Some notes:
1. There are now two ports to deal with:
devel/libproplist (New port)
x11/windowmaker (Upgrade)
WindowMaker depends on this second port. It sucks, and I
wasn't able to get around it. I hope in a future incarnation
to ditch libproplist.
2. In windowmaker, I had to make a patch in a config script
to point at /usr/X11R6/lib/. For reasons I don't understand,
${PREFIX} doesn't make it into this configure script. I
hard-coded it. If the committer sees a way around this, I'd
like to know -- I couldn't do it. I'm not worthy.
3. No pixmaps included with WindowMaker...? Looks pretty cool,
but no icons. I haven't yet played with it much past the
point of "hey, it doesn't core-dump when I run it!" :-)
Go dig around www.windowmaker.org to find what to do here.
4. I have patches to make xv dockable in the ... uh ... dock, or
wharf, or whatever it's called now. They don't yet apply
cleanly, but as soon as I can get them to go and see that it
doesn't blow xv away, I'll submit those patches as well.
I'm tired of working on this today...
