Hello list.
I've tried before to compile Wm 0.92 under Fedora Core 3 x86_64, but
that was impossible, no matter which gcc compiler I've used (3.4, 3.3,
4.0).
Still 0.90 compiles correctly.
The answer lies in configure, which works correctly in 0.90 giving
those options:
Installation path prefix            : /usr/local
Installation path for binaries      : /usr/local/bin
Installation path for WPrefs.app    : /usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications
Supported graphic format libraries  : XPM PNG JPEG GIF TIFF builtin-PPM
Use assembly routines for wrlib     : no
Use inline MMX(tm) x86 assembly     : no
Antialiased text support in WINGs   : yes
Xinerama extension support          : no
Virtual desktop support             : no
Translated message files to install : None

while 0.92 sets wrongly the x86 assembly routine ON, without giving us
a switch to put it OFF.

The solution is the following: copy configure from 0.90 and use that.
The switches for x86_64 stay as above, thus allowing the compilation.
I haven't tried yet the result, but at least this is a step further
towards a possible solution.

Hope this helps.
