gwm_exec* files are precompiled gwm executables for some architectures to help
installation. They are only on ftp at koala.inria.fr:/pub/gwm not to waste
space on ftp.x.org and its mirrors.
You must get the executable AND the associated release, e.g.
gwm_exec_VERSION_ARCHI.gz and gwm-VERSION.tar.gz.
Then decompress and copy the gwm_exec_VERSION_ARCHI somewhere in your PATH,
naming it gwm and making it executable with chmod a+x.
Then create a directory to hold the machine-independent lib files, e.g:
GWMLIBDIR (recommended: /usr/local/lib/gwm), and decompress the source distrib
and into it, do a:
cp -p data/* data/.??* GWMLIBDIR
(this not to forget the two dot-prefixed files in this dir!)
and set an environment variable GWMPATH to point to it:
export GWMPATH=$HOME/gwm:GWMLIBDIR
or
setenv GWMPATH $HOME/gwm:GWMLIBDIR
NOTE: this last step is not necessary if GWMLIBDIR is set to the compiled-in
one (/usr/local/lib/gwm), that you can saw as the last line printed by "gwm -h"
************************************ WARNING *********************************
GWM sends me an udp packet with just the value of "gethostname" for
my private statistics on startup. You can disable this feature by recompiling
with -DNO_GWM_LOG or -DNO_KOALA_SPY, or you can also set the shell
environments NO_GWM_LOG or NO_KOALA_SPY to disable this feature without
recompilation.
******************************************************************************
DOCUMENTATION: in the source distribution:
* a tiny man page: gwm.man
* a reference manual in LaTeX in doc/, with the postscript version as
doc/gwm.ps (~ 120 pages)
