Okay,
I've been reading around on the forums and have installed without a problem XFree86... however, anytime I try to install a system other than the cruddy built in one. I get configure errors telling me that I don't have a compiler (which I do). I would be eternally greatfull to the person who can lead me somewhere or tell me how in gods name to install either windowmaker or enlightenment.
Thanks in advance,
Graham
 
the compiler gets installed as 'cc' and 'c++'. Most configure
scripts are looking for 'gcc' or 'g++'. Make a symlink.

Or, do a 'setenv CC cc' before running configure.

Verify you do in fact have a compiler by 'which cc'.

You'll want to 'cp /usr/libexec/config* .' in the working directory to
get the Darwin aware config.sub and config.guess files
 
i'm not much of a unix person..
I tried the setenv and got the same results as before. I have no clue to make a symbolic link, and I don't see any files/dirs named config anywhere in the /usr/libexec directory... so I'm still lost.
Please forgive my symlink ignorance,
graham
 
well its hard w/o the exact error message.

You should have config.guess and config.sub in /usr/libexec.
I can't explain why you dont.

The compiler should be /usr/bin/cc

[hjmpbg3:~/Documents/sw/ddd-3.3.1] howardm% which cc
/usr/bin/cc
[hjmpbg3:~/Documents/sw/ddd-3.3.1] howardm% cc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/2.95.2/specs
Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-926, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

 
well, I found a pre-compiled binary of afterstep and fvwm.. becuase I just couldn't get gcc compiled, or get a symlink. I'm currently using fvwm and it doesn't look too great currently, so I'm off to read some docs,
thanks for your help,
graham
