The latest version of metisse can be downloaded via the www site. You read version 0.3.5 documentation.
You need the Nucleo library installed on your system. (get it on the www site). For version 0.3.5 you must use nucleo-0.1-20041216. The compilation and installation of nucleo is easy, the usual sequence
./configure; make; su; make install"should work. The nucleo-config script should be in your PATH.
It is recommanded to install the wm-icons package and to have xclock and xload.
As usual, for preparing the build type:
./configure --prefix=where_you_want_to_install [other relevant options]
the default Xwnc font path is
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
you may change this path with the --font-path option. Similarly, you may have to use the "--with-fontenc-file" option if your font encoding directory file is not at /usr/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir.
To enable GLX support (for OpenGL applications) use --enable-glx or --enable-glx-x86 (for a x86 cpu). The OpenGL rendering is not accelerated. Note that glxgear does not work very well for now. The other mesa demo programs work fine as well as the xlock 3D demo but "invert" which crashes Xwnc.
Type
configure --help=recursive
for the full list of options to configure.
Then:
make su # if needed make installNote that the metisse modified FVWM does not replace your regular FVWM. The fvwm executable is called fvwmi and the modules are under prefix/libexec/fvwm-insitu/X.Y.Z/
