Installation procedure: ----------------------- Login as root, copy the .tgz file to the /usr/src directory and cd to that directory, then unpack the file: cd /usr/src tar zxvf fvwm95-2.0.42a.tgz A new fvwm95-2.0.42a directory will be created, cd to that directory: cd fvwm95-2.0.42a Before compiling the package, you may want to examine the configure.h and Fvwm.tmpl files, and change any of the defaults that you need to. Then, if you have Imake installed on your system, run ./MakeMakefiles to build all of the makefiles. If you do not have Imake installed, you'll probably have to get the makefiles that someone else used for your platform, or get Imake from ftp.x.org. Next, compile and install the package. You'll need an ANSI C compiler to do this (i.e. don't use cc under SunOS, use acc or gcc instead): make make install make install.man After the compilation you have to copy manually the mini-icons supplied to a /usr/local/icons or /usr/local/mini-icons directory: cd /usr/local mkdir icons cp /usr/src/fvwm95-2.0.42a/mini-icons/* icons Next, take the example.fvwm2rc95 config file, rename to .fvwm2rc95 and copy it to your home directory. Check it to make sure that the ModulePath, IconPath and PixmapPath options point to the correct directories. After that, modify your .xinitrc or .xsession in order to start fvwm95-2. Remove or comment out the line executing your previous window manager (usually the last line in the file), then add at the end a command like the following: exec fvwm95-2 Start the X session, hopefully, a cyan screen with a taskbar and button bar will appear. You may have to modify further the .fvwm2rc95 file according to your needs. If you are not very familiar with the standard fvwm2, you can take a look at the man pages, the syntax of the config commands is there explained.
