wmswallow will dock any application into the WindowMaker dock.

Installation:

untar the sources by typing something along the lines of

zcat wmswallow.tar.Z|tar cvf -
cd wmswallow
make < platform >

where platform is currently one out of

xfree, solaris, solaris-gcc

The xfree target works under linux and freebsd.

Linux is tested best, since i'm hacking this stuff under linux (at home). I have access to several Solaris Workstations (some sparcs, and 2 pcs) whith quite different Installations which i regularly use, so the solaris target will at least get some attention. Solaris users please read README.solaris for some hints.

Other Unices might or might not get happy with the xfree target or some or other... I really think using autoconf/automake for this small app would be overkill. If you devise a proper patch for a different Unix-flavour, i will include it, but i might not be able to test it. (I have currently access to FreeBSD and AIX, in addition to my "home-platforms")

After compilation put the binary somewhere you like (e.g. in /usr/local/bin) and in case you want to delete the Sourcetree, you might want to copy the README to /usr/doc/wmswallow

Now try

wmswallow -h

to get a basic idea how it works.
