- according to the automake manual, `acinclude.m4' is the old style
of doing stuff, putting local macros in their own directory is the
way to go, so move acincluce.m4 to m4/windowmaker.m4
- reflect this in autogen.sh and Makefile.am
- while there, add a `conditionally set cflags' macro from the
autoconf macro archive
- use this to slightly pump warning levels up if we are on gcc
- Does away with the O_BINARY abomination
- as a byproduct, plugs an fd leak in wcolorpanel.c:fetchFile()
- sprinkle some fsync()s to files that have been written to (this
needs to be done everywhere)
+ fix brown paper bag thinko in configure.ac
was this ever used for anything? i checked a couple hundred dockapps,
no joy; there's nothing in debian (afaict) that build-depends on it,
so let's try doing away with it.
The inspiration comes from Geir T. Kristiansen's 'genmenu' shell script
(http://gtk.no/genmenu) which I have been hapilly using for
the last 9 years or so.
That script generates the Window Maker menu by asking a few questions
and checks whether the applications in a predefined list exist in
the user's $PATH, so that the menu contains only the applications
which are guaranteed to exist and which the user cares about.
However I always thought it was a bit slow to finish, even
when having a file containing the answers to the questions to
be piped in.
And as Kristiansen states in his webpage, his script does not
support internationalization:
"If you want internationalization I really suggest you rewrite
genmenu from scratch anyway in a more sensible language and remove
other limitations while you are at it."
so I decided to rewrite in C and make it support internationalization
(only English and German so far). While I am not sure yet if I removed
"other limitations while you are at it" I definitely made it finish faster.
This C program does not make you questions though.
But in the same spirit as the author of 'genmenu', who says:
"Genmenu is a hack, deal with it, it just happens to serve my needs."
I present you 'wmgenmenu', which you can use like this:
wmgenmenu > /home/mafra/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
and the menu is automatically generated from the list of
predefined apps which are contained in the C sources (wmgenmenu.h).
And when you generate the WMRootMenu as above, wmaker will automatically
load the new menu for you (due to the 'inotify' mechanism in wmaker-crm).
As for 'wmgenmenu' being faster than 'genmenu':
[mafra@Pilar:~]$ time ./genmenu.sh < answers.txt &> /dev/null
real 0m3.626s
user 0m0.968s
sys 0m1.830s
[mafra@Pilar:~]$ time wmgenmenu &> /dev/null
real 0m0.020s
user 0m0.006s
sys 0m0.013s
Even the option to enable "virtual desktop" in configure.ac was
commented out...and I would never intend to use it anyway.
So let's just remove the ~800 lines of #ifdef'ed code to have a
cleaner code base to read when bored.
This patch modifies the linking of the WINGs libraries
to create a shared library. wmaker used to do this, but
it was dropped around wmaker-0.90/0.91.
The shared .so library is needed when compiling and running
the wdm display manager and any other programs which link
to libWINGs.

This patch combines two small patches which fix issues with x86_64 and mmx in
the configure script.

This patch removes bits and pieces of xmu that for some reason
have been bundled with wmaker. I can very well imagine that at the time
they were bundled, xmu was not, was not available everywhere, or
whatever.
I couldn't come across a system that doesn't have these things in its
system-supplied x libs, though i've been carrying this since january,
and my memory is quite flakey at times.
certainly nothing xorg is at danger, nor xfree86 dating back to at
least 3.3. i believe this stuff should be everywhere that calls itself
to be on par with x11r6.3 at the very least.
it would be incredibly useful if people having access to commercial
unixes could check this on things released in the past, say, 15 years.
i believe back then i had solaris 8+and sco openserver 5+ covered.
Why?
1. The reason for its existence is to "Disable some stuff that are
duplicated in kde", and I don't think I will ever need that.
Furthermore, even the description in the configure script reads
"disable some stuff (dont use it)".
2. It makes the code uglier at some places, e.g.,
#ifdef LITE
{
#if 0
}
#endif
#else
if (!wRootMenuPerformShortcut(event)) {
#endif
which by the way is the ugliness which motivated this patch.
3. Does not even compile anymore. It fails with
CC dockedapp.o
CC event.o
event.c: In function 'executeButtonAction:
event.c:711: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:712: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:713: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:715: error: WScreen has no member named root_menu
event.c:720: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:721: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:722: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
event.c:724: error: WScreen has no member named switch_menu
make[2]: *** [event.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
But instead of fixing this (it would be trivial), let's get
rid of the whole ugliness altogether.
This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o

than 10 parameters in inline asm, else disable asm code.
This should enable it to work on any x86 platform (not just linux as before)
given that a recent enough gcc is available (no more need to guess by looking
at $host)
This should also fix the issues of compiling wrlib with gcc-2.95
- Fixed the signal handler for crashes (ie, removed it) and made wmaker
restarting be made automatically by a monitoring process.
- Made NetWM support be enabled by default
- Removed old code to store/restore workspace state (now relies on netwm)
- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
