- Package windowlaker version 0.92

Since the update of the windowmaker wm, the WPrefs utility is not found where it should.
Trying to launch it with the icon on the workspace leads to an error which tells that it
"could not the command
"/usr/share/WindowMaker/GNUstep/WPrefs.app/WPrefs"
"
launching it from the menu leads to nothing, not even the error message.

launching "WPrefs" from /usr/bin from the command line does not allow it to loads the icons it's used to. giving a very crippled preference utility.

I noticed the same error, which I've corrected by changing this in windowmaker's PKGBUILD:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-appspath=/usr/share/WindowMaker/GNUstep

to:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-gnustepdir=/usr/GNUstep

my suggestion add also the i18n stuff

In the ChangeLog for Windowmaker 0.92, it says that --with-appsdir has been removed and replaced by --with-gnustepdir. The ChangeLog is located at http://www.windowmaker.org/src/ChangeLog. So the PKGBUILD for WindowMaker should make the corresponding replacement. This differs from Matt's suggestion in that the actual path does not need to be changed, but rather just the name of the option.

Seems /etc/WindowMaker/WMRootMenu doesn't get set properly and still points to /usr/local/ for WPrefs
