Compilation / Installation

1. Requirements

Wmconfig requires the GNU C Compiler. An installed X windows system is recommend. It was tested with the following systems:

Cygwin
i386 Linux
i386 and IA64 FreeBSD
i386 OpenBSD

Please let me know if Wmconfig runs on other systems.

2. Installation

After you have downloaded the source, extract the bzipped GNU Tar Archive:

tar -xvjf wmconfig-VERSION-NUMBER.tgz

Change to the new directory and try:

./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --sysconfdir=/etc/X11
make
make install (maybe as root)

This will install the binary in "/usr/X11R6/bin" and the manpage in "/usr/X11R6/man/man1". As root create a directory named wmconfig in "sysconfdir" (see above) directory that will will be used for system wide configuration. Users may add their own menu entries with creating the ".wmconfig" in their home directories.
You may download the samples and copy them into the system wide Wmconfig directory or into your home config directory.
