Hi,
I've been trying to install WindowMaker-0.17.5 and I cannot get it to go.
I have always had trouble w/ this one - the older versions I've tried have
always blown up during the install portion of the port make. What happens
is during the install, various pixmaps pop up and after a number of these
the install fails. I can reproduce this on 2 machines here, one which I
just installed 2.2.7 on and my older machine which started at 2.2.2 I
think. This also has happened on my home machine which started at 2.1.7
or so. It used to be I could still get it to install by doing it on the
console, but now not even that works (there is no package available that I
could find for 0.17.5 - that used to work too or I'd test that as well).
If I do the install in X I get errors like the following during the
install:
fermi: {1} make install^M
>> Checksum OK for WindowMaker-0.17.5.tar.gz.
===> Installing for windowmaker-0.17.5
-> snip <-
/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib
list='libPropList.a libPropList.so.0.7'; for p in $list; do if test -f
$p; then
echo " install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p"; install
-c -o b
in -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p; else :; fi; done
-> snip<-
Making install in wrlib
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib
(at this point a pixmap appears, kill the pixmap, another appears...)
and this continues until:
mkdir: /usr/X11R6/lib: File exists
*** Error code 1
If I try this on the console window I get a similar set of errors, only it
can't open display :
Making install in wrlib
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib
cant open display
cant open display
cant open display
list='libwraster.a'; for p in $list; do if test -f $p; then echo "
install -c
-o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/local/lib/$p"; install -c -o bin -g bin -m
444 $p
/usr/local/lib/$p; else :; fi; done
It again continues and errors out as before.
Brian Handy (the maintainer and I) have been unable to determine WHY this
happens as yet. It obviously doesn't do this on his machine or he
wouldn't be the maintainer.
Does anyone have ANY ideas why this might be happening (a few others have
noticed this occurrence as well)????? I'll also note that this is the
ONLY port I've ever had this happen on and it's happened consistently on
every release of WM I've tried (and I've tried most of them).
Deeply puzzled and annoyed!
Brett
