This stopped working with a recent upgrade because of imagemagik conflicts.

I tried recompiling and it is compiling but when you run it you get: flatbush:[ruben]:~$ wmaker wmaker: /usr/local/lib/libwraster.so.6: version LIBWRASTER6' not found (required by wmaker) wmaker: /usr/lib/libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.10: versionVERS_10.0' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libwraster.so.6)

sudo pacman -F /usr/lib/libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.10 [sudo] password for ruben: usr/lib/libMagickWand-7.Q16HDRI.so.10 is owned by world/imagemagick 7.1.1.36-1

That is an old version: flatbush:[ruben]:~$ sudo pacman -S world/imagemagick warning: imagemagick-7.1.1.40-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

FWIW - when I tried to compile windowmaker by hand, it also chokes on that library

Hmm not so simple.If you add "/usr/lib64/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs" or "/usr/lib64/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs %s" to the middle command section of the DOCK and then restart WM the commands disappear and you are back to square one. However if you add "/usr/lib64/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs" to the middle command of the DOCK and close the settings you can middle click on the DOCK you open WPrefs.app and get an icon which you can attach to the DOCK. This survives a WM restart but the commands on the DOCK still disappear. It is a bit cludgy but it gives you access to WPrefs. Whew good old WM still as quirky as ever. ;-)

Found the missing WPrefs.app it is located at

/usr/lib64/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app

Add "/usr/lib64/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs" as the middle click command to the DOCK and your good to go.

;-)

Well I thought WM had installed right. However there is no WPrefs.app. Double click the dock and you get an ABOUT window. Right click the desktop and choose " Configure Window Maker " and I get an error window saying "exec WPrefs" could not execute.

Help me find the WPrefs.app please. ;-(

Hurray installed and working fine. Thanks to the maintainer. ;-)

I just installed this PKGBUILD modifying it to be compatible with the "pentium4" architecture, could you please add this architecture to the original PKGBUILD?.

@Arthur2e5: use the windowmaker-crm-git AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/windowmaker-crm-git/

That package uses the "next" GIT branch.

Arthur2e5 commented on 2020-02-28 05:46 (UTC)

Please consider updating to the current Git HEAD on the next branch. There is a set of commits around ScaleX/ScaleY that allows Window Maker to finally kind of support HiDPI.

ckoba commented on 2019-06-27 10:35 (UTC)

Some (many?) full-screen applications crash back to the display manager under WindowMaker. This is due to WindowMaker being compiled with --enable-randr, which has been marked "experimental" and is being compiled without it on other distributions.

Recommend that --enable-randr be removed from the configuration flags to avoid this issue.
