I am on MacOS and am still running an fvmw2 version 2.6.5 binary I compiled back in 2014 on two OSes and older development tools.
Does anyone have instructions on how to build fvwm for the latest macOS and XCode tools?
I obtained fvwm-2.6.6.tar distribution from the http://fvwm.org root page.
My ./configure with the version 2.6.6 aborts. I added echo to show shell variables before the abort. Do I need to use set CPP to use clang?
$ ./configure
…snip…
checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes
CPP gcc -E
CFLAGS -Wall -Wno-implicit-int -g -O2
CPPFLAGS
configure: error: "
configure is not able to compile programs with warnings. Please
remove all offending options like -Werror from the CFLAGS and
CPPFLAGS variables and run configure again."
$
Question 2: If I find this on my own, is there a platform-specific tips page for tips for compiling the distribution. The fvwmforums.org does not seem to be very active.
tks,
jw
