Hi there,

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or just reply to this relevant
one. Apologies if it's bad form to bump such an old thread. Are mailing
lists the same as forums in that regard?

Anyway, I was just looking into updating the WindowMaker port, and thought
I better search the archive beforehand, in case anyone else was doing
anything with it, and I'm glad I did!

However, nothing seems to have come from the work Timo did over a year ago,
and WindowMaker has actually been updated to 0.95.6 since. Does anyone know
why this update never made it into the tree?

Anyway, I tried using the 0.95.5 update as a template for a  0.95.6 port
but couldn't get it to build - it failed at the configure stage with the
script not being able to find libXmu for some reason (despite the
/usr/X11R6/lib and include paths being correct, and Timo's updated 0.95.5
compiling and running just fine - I'm actually using it right now!).

It's probably a really minor thing, but I'm too much of a noob to be able
to quickly get the bottom of it, and before I invested any more time, I
thought I had better check whether or not Timo or anyone else has since
done any work on this port? Don't want to step on any toes....

Cheers,

Toby
