Hi, I am a relative Linux newbie, but even so I have begun on Slackware with FVWM. My Slack 10.2 installation came with FVWM 2.4.19, but I want to upgrade to 2.5.x due to its added features. I downloaded the 2.5.14 source, read through the INSTALL and INSTALL.fvwm files and proceeded. ./configure seemed to process correctly, but make resulted in several warnings and 2 errors:
...
PictureGraphics.c:1219: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
...
Colorset.c: In function `SetWindowBackgroundWithOffset':
Colorset.c:239: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
...
Colorset.c: In function `CreateBackgroundPixmap':
Colorset.c:421: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
...
FBidi.c: In function `FBidiIsApplicable':
FBidi.c:38: error: `FRIBIDI_CHARSET_NOT_FOUND' undeclared (first use in this function)
...
FBidi.c: In function `FBidiConvert':
FBidi.c:72: error: `FRIBIDI_CHARSET_NOT_FOUND' undeclared (first use in this function)
...
make: *** [all] Error 2
(That first warning specified a function too, it was past the top of rxvt’s buffer. Each warning had several of the same on different lines.)
What can I do to get this to compile? I can provide more or all of the output if necessary. I’ve a working knowledge of C++ and a basic understanding of how make/makefile works, I’m just hesitant to delve into this without some guidance.
