doc: convert INSTALL-WMAKER into a texinfo source processed by texi2txt

Browse Source 
The source of the documentation is in Texinfo format to have the
possibility someday to distribute in more format that just plain text;

The INSTALL-WMAKER original file will now be generated automatically when
running the 'autogen.sh' script (for those who made a git-checkout) and
when running 'make' (for the people who create the distribution archive).

The current document have seen these changes:

 - added all the texinfo header (including the copyright notice);

 - texinfo formatting command in place everywhere applicable;

 - re-ordering of the content to try to get a consistent document.

Apart from this, the document should not have seen any change on the
content, because this deserves dedicated patches to show the evolution.

Installation Instructions for Window Maker
The latest version of Window Maker (-crm) can be found in the
git repository at
http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
===================
- Intel GNU/Linux Systems in general
Patches to make it work on other platforms are welcome.
REQUIREMENTS:
=============
The following software is required to use Window Maker:
- X11R6.x
Window Maker can be compiled in older versions of X, like X11R5
(Solaris) or X11R4 (OpenWindows) but it will not work 100% correctly.
In such servers there will not be application icons and you'll have
trouble using the dock. Upgrading the client libraries (Xlib, Xt etc)
will help if you can't upgrade the server.
The following is required to build Window Maker:
- Basic obvious stuff
gcc (or some other ANSI C compiler)
glibc development files (usually glibc-devel in Linux distributions)
X development files (XFree86-devel or something similar)
- autoconf, automake and libtool
autoconf 2.54
automake 1.4
libtool 1.4.2
- Xft2
and its dependencies (such as freetype2 and fontconfig)
You will also need the development files for it (xft2-devel)
OPTIONAL:
=========
These libraries are not required to make Window Maker work, but they
are supported in case you want to use them. Version numbers are those
that I have (and therefore, guaranteed to work), but other versions
might work too.
- libXPM 4.7 or newer
Older versions may not work!!!
Available at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/X/
There is built-in support for XPM files, but it will not
load images in some uncommon encodings.
- libpng 0.96 or newer and zlib
For PNG image support.
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/
- libtiff 3.4 or newer
For TIFF image support.
You can get it at ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff
- libjpeg 6.0.1 or newer
For JPEG image support
http://www.ijg.org/
- libgif 2.2 or libungif
For GIF image support
ftp://prtr-13.ucsc.edu/pub/libungif/
- GNU xgettext
If you want to use translated messages, you will need GNU gettext.
Other versions of gettext are not compatible and will not work.
Get the GNU version from ftp://ftp.gnu.org
CONFIGURE OPTIONS:
==================
If you downloaded the cvs or git versions, type
./autogen.sh
to generate the config files.
These options can be passed to the configure script to enable/disable
some Window Maker features. Example:
./configure --enable-modelock --disable-gif
will configure Window Maker with modelock supported and disable gif support.
Normally, you won't need any of them.
To get a list of other options, run ./configure --help
--with-libs-from
specify additional paths for libraries to be searched.
The -L flag must precede each path, like:
--with-libs-from="-L/opt/libs -L/usr/local/lib"
--with-incs-from
specify additional paths for header files to be searched.
The -I flag must precede each paths, like:
--with-incs-from="-I/opt/headers -I/usr/local/include"
--disable-shm
disable use of the MIT shared memory extension. This will slow down
texture generation a little bit, but in some cases it seems to be
necessary due to a bug that manifests as messed icons and textures.
--disable-motif
disable support for mwm window manager hints
--enable-modelock
XKB language status lock support. If you don't know what it is you
probably don't need it.
--disable-xpm
disables use of the XPM library even if it is available on your
system.
--disable-png
disables use of PNG library
--disable-tiff
disable use of TIFF library
--disable-gif
disable use of GIF library
--disable-jpeg
disable use of JPEG library
--disable-shape
disables shaped windows (for oclock, xeyes etc.)
PLATFORM SPECIFIC NOTES:
========================
- GNU/Linux in general
Make sure you have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and that you
run ldconfig after installing.
Uninstall any packaged version of Window Maker before installing a new
version.
- RedHat GNU/Linux
RedHat systems have several annoying problems. If you use it,
be sure to follow the steps below or Window Maker will not work:
* if you installed the Window Maker that comes with RedHat, uninstall
it before upgrading;
* make sure you don't have the LANG and LINGUAS environment variables
set to en_RN;
* make sure you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment
variable;
* make sure you have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf before running
ldconfig;
- PowerPC MkLinux
You will need to have the latest version of Xpmac. Older versions
seem to have bugs that cause the system to hang.
- Debian GNU/Linux
If you want JPEG and TIFF support, make sure you have libtiff-dev
and libjpeg-dev installed.
- SuSE GNU/Linux
If you installed the Window Maker package from SuSE,
uninstall it before trying to compile wmaker or you
might have problems.
- MetroX (unknown version)
MetroX has a bug that corrupts pixmaps that are set as window
backgrounds. If you use MetroX and has weird problems with
textures, do not use textures in title bars. Or use a different
X server.
INSTALLATION:
=============
Build Window Maker
------------------
For a quick start, type the following in your shell prompt:
./configure
make
then, login as root and type:
make install
ldconfig
or if you want to strip the debugging symbols from the binaries and make them
smaller, you can instead type:
make install-strip
ldconfig
This will build and install Window Maker with default parameters.
If you want to customize some compile-time options, you can do the
following.
1. (optional) Look at the CONFIGURE OPTIONS section above for the
options available. Also run:
./configure --help
to get a complete listing of other options that are available.
2. Run configure with the options you want. For example, if you
want to use the --enable-modelock option, type:
./configure --enable-modelock
3. (optional) Edit src/wconfig.h with your favorite text editor
and browse through it for some options you might want to change.
4. Compile. Just type:
make
5. Login as root (if you can't do that, read the "I don't have the
root password :-(" section) and install Window Maker in your system:
su root
make install
User specific configuration
---------------------------
These instructions do not need to be followed when upgrading Window Maker
from an older version, unless stated differently in the NEWS file.
Every user on your system that wishes to run Window Maker must do the
following:
1. Install Window Maker configuration files in your home directory.
Type:
wmaker.inst
wmaker.inst will install Window Maker configuration files and will
setup X to automatically launch Window Maker at startup.
That's it!
You can type "man wmaker" to get some general help for configuration
and other stuff.
Read the User Guide for a more in-depth explanation of Window Maker.
You might want to take a look at the FAQ too.
Installing the extras package
-----------------------------
Unpack WindowMaker-extra-<version-number>.tar.gz in /usr/local/share
You can get the file at http://windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/. This file
is optional and only have a few icons, and themes. Look for the latest
<version-number> available. Also there is a WindowMaker-extra.readme to
instruct you where that package should go.
I don't have the root password :(
---------------------------------
If you can't get superuser privileges (can't be root) you can install
wmaker in your own home directory. For that, supply the --prefix option
when running configure in step 2 of building Window Maker. You will
also need to supply the --with-gnustepdir option, to specify the path for
WPrefs.app Example:
./configure --prefix=/home/jshmoe --with-gnustepdir=/home/jshmoe/GNUstep/Applications
Then make /home/jshmoe/bin be included in your search PATH, add
/home/jshmoe/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and run
bin/wmaker.inst
Of course, /home/jshmoe is supposed to be replaced with your actual home
directory path.
UPGRADING
=========
If you are upgrading from an older version of Window Maker:
1. Configure and build Window Maker as always
2. Install Window Maker (but do not run wmaker.inst)
3. Read the NEWS file and update your configuration files if necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
When you have some trouble during configuration (while running configure),
like not being able to use a graphic format library you think you have
installed, look at the config.log file for clues of the problem.
== Error with loading fonts, even if they exist.
Try rebuilding without NLS support.
== Error when configuring
ltconfig: unrecognized option `--no-reexec'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
remove the --no-reexec option from aclocal.m4 and reconfigure
Also make sure the autoconf and automake versions you have installed are:
autoconf 2.13
automake 1.4
libtool 1.3
Note that it must not be libtool 1.2b, it must be libtool 1.3,
from the GNU sites.
== configure doesn't detect libtiff, or other graphic libraries.
Delete config.cache, then rerun configure adding the following options to
configure (among the other options you use):
--with-libs-from="-L/usr/local/lib"
--with-incs-from="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/tiff"
Put the paths where your graphic libs and their corresponding header files are
located. You can put multiple paths in any of these options, as the example
of --with-incs-from shows. Just put a space between them.
== configure doesn't detect libXpm.
* Check if you have a symbolic link from libXpm.so.4.9 to libXpm.so
== Segmentation fault on startup
* Check if the version of libXPM you have is at least 4.7
* Check if you have an updated version of ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
If you're not sure, try renaming ~/GNUstep to ~/GNUtmp and then run wmaker.inst
== "...: your machine is misconfigured. gethostname() returned (none)"
* the hostname of your machine is set to something invalid, that starts
with a parenthesis. Do a man hostname for info about how to set it.
== The root menu contains only 2 entries. ("XTerm" and "Exit...")
* Window Maker could not read your menu definition file
you should check wmaker's output for an error, it may be
visible in the console or in the .xsession-errors file.
== checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from true; giving up
* Read the REQUIREMENTS section of this file.
LOCALES/INTERNATIONALIZATION
============================
Window Maker has national language support. The procedure to enable national
language support is described in the dedicated README.i18n file.

@section configure doesn't detect @emph{libtiff}, or other graphic libraries
Delete @file{config.cache}, then rerun configure adding the following options to @command{configure}
(among the other options you use):
@example
--with-libs-from="-L/usr/local/lib"
--with-incs-from="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/tiff"
@end example
Put the paths where your graphic libs and their corresponding header files are located.
You can put multiple paths in any of these options, as the example of @option{--with-incs-from} shows.
Just put a space between them.
@section configure doesn't detect @emph{libXpm}
Check if you have a symbolic link from @file{libXpm.so.4.9} to @file{libXpm.so}
@section Segmentation fault on startup
@itemize
@item Check if the version of @emph{libXPM} you have is at least 4.7
@item Check if you have an updated version of @file{~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker}
@end itemize
If you're not sure, try renaming @file{~/GNUstep} to @file{~/GNUtmp}
and then run @command{wmaker.inst}
@section "...: your machine is misconfigured. gethostname() returned (none)"
the host name of your machine is set to something invalid, that starts with a parenthesis.
Do a @command{man hostname} for info about how to set it.
@section The root menu contains only 2 entries. ("XTerm" and "Exit...")
@sc{Window Maker} could not read your menu definition file.
You should check the output of @command{wmaker} for an error, it may be visible in the console or in the
@file{.xsession-errors} file.
@section checking lex output file root... configure: error: cannot find output from true; giving up
Read the @ref{Software Dependencies}.
