|
|

|
|
||||||
Disclaimer: alphas under my command have never run X and are least likely to
|
|
||||||
suddenly start running it anytime soon.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Alpha used to have some ridiculously low amount of shared memory
|
|
||||||
configured.
|
|
||||||
So quite a lot of apps used to barf. Namely - cdrecord, mysql server, etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Check where is yours at the moment and raise it to a more appropriate
|
|
||||||
value by either catting to the appropriate /proc entry or changing the
|
|
||||||
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Otherwise the shared memory on alpha should be fully functional and I
|
|
||||||
see no reason to disable it. Mine are bumped up to 32 or more on most
|
|
||||||
machines.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And If I recall correctly the comments in that file are actually
|
|
||||||
wrong. Value is not bytes, but in machine size word. For alpha *8.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As I said - I do not run X on them so all #include "stdisclaimer.h"
|
|
||||||
apply.

|

||||||
If you have gcc installed, run configure as:
|
|
||||||
CPP_PATH="gcc -E -x c" ./configure
|
|
||||||
Sun's cpp lacks some features needed by Window Maker and it can
|
|
||||||
cause problems when parsing the config files.
|
|
||||||
You also might need to use the --with-libs-from and --with-incs-from
|
|
||||||
to supply the directory where libtiff is located.
|
|
||||||
Someone mailed me that you also must make /usr/local/lib be the
|
|
||||||
first path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make it work.
|
|
||||||
|
|

If you have a Ultra Creator 3D or some other machine with high-end

graphics, be sure to start the X server with the default visual

Automatic menu generator (wmgenmenu)
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is now a new utility to generate the Window Maker menu automatically,
|
||||||
|
called wmgenmenu. It searches from a list of pre-defined applications the
|
||||||
|
ones which exist in your $PATH and adds them to the corresponding submenus
|
||||||
|
("Internet", "Terminals", "Editors" etc) of your WM menu. It also supports
|
||||||
|
localization (currently English and German). You can use it like:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ wmgenmenu > WMRootMenu-new
|
||||||
|
$ cp WMRootMenu-new $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and WM will automatically detect the new menu file and use it without
|
||||||
|
restarting wmaker (made possible by the 'inotify' mechanism)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Automatic detection of menu changes (via inotify)
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Window Maker now uses the 'inotify' mechanism from the linux kernel
|
||||||
|
to automatically detect changes in the WMRootMenu file. So the
|
||||||
|
--no-polling option is now gone and Window Maker does not wake up
|
||||||
|
your CPU unnecessarily (0 wakeups when idle, instead of 4).
|
||||||
|
So if you edit the WMRootMenu file by hand (or by using 'wmgenmenu'),
|
||||||
|
there is no need to restart wmaker for the changes to take effect.
