# fvwm95

This is a fork of fvwm95 meant to be compilable on and play nice with newer Unix-like operating systems.

It is based off the code from the source package in Debian Sarge, slightly modified so that it compiles without errors on modern OSes, and with a more sane configuration to adapt to modern day needs.

## Build prerequisites

The following packages are needed in order to build fvwm95:

On Debian/Ubuntu:

```sh

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake pkg-config xorg xinit xbitmaps libx11-dev libxt-dev libxext-dev libxpm-dev libreadline-dev libxmu-headers

```

On Arch:

```sh

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel autoconf automake pkgconf xorg xorg-xinit xbitmaps libx11 libxt libxext libxpm readline libxmu

```

The following packages are not necessary to build fvwm95 itself, but

they are nice to have with the default config:

* xscreensaver

* nitrogen

* thunar

* xterm

* lxappearance

* pulseaudio

* pavucontrol

## Building

After all the dependencies are satisfied - configure, build, and

install (into /usr/local - change if wanted) fvwm95 by running:

```

./bootstrap

./configure --prefix=/usr/local

make

sudo make install

```

## Running

### xinit

In order to start fvwm95 with xinit, add the following to your

`~/.xinitrc` file:

```

exec fvwm95

```

To start it, simply type:

```

startx

```
