[Scwm-devs] Compiling scwm(cvs) on my laptop

[P P. <pie...@pl...>]

On my laptop I have a RH7.3 system, today I compiled scwm on, here are my=
=20
experices:
All of the things I compiled I used --prefix=3D/usr

Redhat 7.3 still contains the old guile, so I installed guile 1.4.1from=20
sources.
When I started compiling scwm it errored becuze it could not find the com=
mand=20
guile-doc-snarf, looking into /usr/bin there was an guile-snarf. Looking =
into=20
the archive of scwm there were some comment on using guile-snarf instread=
 of=20
guile-doc-snarf. I made a symbolic link for guile-snarf to guile-doc-snar=
f.=20
It might be better to change the Makefile's, but as they are created by=20
autogen.sh, I have no idea what to do best.
During reading of the Makefile's I noticed a problem on line 238 in=20
scwm/src/Makefile.
In file scwm/utilities/scwmrepl/Makefile I removed -DHAVE_CONFIG_H around=
 line=20
152, otherwise I could not compile scwmrepl.c as it confused the header=20
<readline/readline.h> it was including.
After that compilation was ok, and I'm now able to run scwm.
BTW: I do not have the input problem in mozilla on my laptop, but I still=
 have=20
it on my desktop, as my desktop runs an beta mandrake I'll wait till the=20
release is out before giving scwm on my desktop an other try (don't worry=
 I=20
use my laptop more than my desktop).
I hope this information is usable to make some changes so installation wo=
rks=20
better, I will afcourse help when needed.
