- Ah, yes well, mmmn.... I found that with one minor alteration the widget set would
- compile, and the window manager would run (perhaps this is not needed on more recent
- releases of linux).
-
- The big problem is that although the widgets compile, it does not necessarily mean that
- they will _work_... if you compile all the test do they run? Remember that there is
- some vendor specific stuff in there, which a few widgets use.
-
- A proper port should alter these.
