Revision as of 09:40, 15 June 2024

Window Maker is a window manager for X11 designed to emulate the look and feel of NeXTSTEP as an environment compatible with OpenStep libraries. It has been developed from scratch since 1997 by Alfredo Kojima in C.

Installation

Window Maker can be installed from most package managers.

On Debian and Debian-based distributions:

 # apt install wmaker

On Arch and Arch-based distributions, Window Maker can be only only installed with an AUR helper such as yay:

 $ yay -S windowmaker

On Gentoo and Gentoo-based distributions:

 # emerge -av x11-wm/windowmaker

On RHEL, Fedora and Fedora-based distributions:

 # dnf install WindowMaker

If none of these work or the version is outdated, you may try to install it manually (0.96.0) by running:

 $ wget https://www.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz

 $ tar xvf WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz

 $ cd WindowMaker-0.96.0.tar.gz

 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr

 $ make

 # make install
