Hi all,
finally I tried afterstep and I'm really impressed. I was in love with
sawfish for a long time, because of its speed and the ability to
configure everything. I *like* configuration.
At work we're using WindowMaker, which is a bit unstable. It tends to
lock. So I was forced to look for another WindowManager and gave
afterstep a try. And hey... It really looks great.
Enough blabla....
Lets come back to serious business .... :-)
I installed Afterstep on a Solaris x86 10 machine. I've some minor remarks:
1. afterstepdoc
I do not understand why you use
if [ "x$full_path" != "x" ] ; then
and not the simpler
if [ -x $full_path ] ; then
as you did a couple of lines below. I guess you'd serious reason to do
so, but the first version breaks if 'which' returns anything if it could
not find the binary. On Solaris 'which' returns the $PATH environment
variable if it could not find the binary.
bash-3.00$ which asdasd
no asdasd in /home/mbruen/GNUstep/Tools /opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools
/opt/GNUstep/System/Tools /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/apache/bin /usr/local/ssl/bin /usr/ccs/bin
/opt/FrontBase/bin /usr/local/teTeX/bin /usr/sfw/bin /opt/sfw/bin
/opt/csw/bin /usr/ucb /opt/firefox /opt/thunderbird /usr/openwin/bin
/opt/csw/bin /usr/openwin/bin
2. strip
You use strip in the Makefile. While it's legal to do so, you should
check if strip is installed. However I hacked this with touch /bin/strip :-)
3. ASRun did not compile because of GTKTree. However I do not mind. :-)
Thanks
Marc
