To all: Got the port skeleton for fvwm95; ran make, install; ftp'd to freebsd.org for dist; then the process hung when it didn't find the xpm directory on my machine. Got the xpm port; ran make install; ftp'd to freebsd.org for dist; then the process hung on "can't find xmkmf." Since I had the distribution, I cd to /usr/ports/graphics/xpm where I found the files partly installed. In the xpm directory, ran make install; the process hung with the same error: "can't find xmkmf." I tried piping the output of make install to xmkmf like so: make install | /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf This is what happens: 1) the Makefile is renamed Makefile.bak 2) some compilation begins 3) the process hangs with the message "can't find imake." I'm new at FreeBSD and ports, so there may be just a little tweak needed to a patch or makefile to get this to work. I looked around but saw nothing obvious. Any ideas? Michael Alwan
