WINGs issue with Linux

WINGS is the Window Maker widget library. It is installed with Window Maker. I had some problems with applications needing WINGs to compile because the header files were installed in /usr/local/include/WINGs. These applications could not find the header files. My solution was to copy all the files in /usr/local/include/WINGs to /usr/local/include, then run ldconfig. Other sources say to hack the configure scritp to change the location of the WINGS header files to /usr/local/include/WINGs.

Get and Install libdockapp

libdockapp is available for download from shadowmere.student.utwente.nl/modules.php. This is a simple:

./configure
make
su root
make install
ldconfig
To install.

Option: Window Maker Extras

Some Window Maker Extras have been made available as a seperate download. These include Themes, images, etc. If you want, grab this from the Window Maker Website (www.windowmaker.org). The installation is quite simple:

./configure [option: --prefix=location]
make install (su to root first if installing anywhere but home dir)
