[.on compiling olvwm.]
BTW: I, as well as several people succeeded in compiling olwm/olvwm
quite a long time ago (about one year now)... Everyone seems to
solve the same problems on and on and on.

Regarding netbsd: this group is quite right.
Regarding Xfree: try comp.windows.x.i386unix.
Regarding xview3.X: try to compile this yourself. After heavy patching in
the style of what you have just found with olvwm (in particular with
stdio (!)) you can get it compile. But you will find that textedit and
cmdtool/shelltool won't work. If you want to contribute something
to the community, try to find the bug :-) But beware: others not
afraid of the rather harmless effects with olvwm already failed.
Maybe NetBSD does no longer has this bug; it is likely deep in
the libs and/or the kernel.
