building from source
Im trying to compile xfe-1.34 but unseccessful. Compiling libFOX-1.6.49 with ./configure --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --with-opengl=no --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=no --enable-release and make gave me libFOX-1.6.a and libFOX-1.6.l in /usr/local/lib. Running xfe's ./configure i got an error "libFOX-1.6 not found". Do i have to include --prefix=/usr in ./configure of xfe, or in libFOX or both? Im really new to this and though im already using technosaurus' xfe static build, i want to make this work for learning. thanks.

When you run "make install" after building libfox, the *.a file should be copied into /usr/lib/ and a bunch of .h file into /usr/include. If not, check that you passed --prefix=/usr to ./configure.

Xfe forgotten in the newest Puppy Versions
Rox is the better File Manager ever created, in my opinion. However i recognize that two panels FM is useful. Roland Baudin will no longer create new versions, won't he.kenbanistu wrote:Thanks for this. Much better than Rox.
I noticed that some of the file associations were pointing to programs I don't have, like Firefox for opening html files. I change them as I find them..
You need to use an applications several days to get an idea. I am pleased, i will feed back.
I am running and old laptop with Puppy 420. Some functions are not working as opening a spreadsheet with gnumeric. Im searching why. XFE has not done better than Rox

It opens Gnumeric, but not the file
That is what i did. It opens Gnumeric, but not the file. it should be because the file was done in a much newer version of Gnumeric than the gnumeric version of Puppy 420.
