Fluxbox 1.0.0 for cygwin
I have built fluxbox for cygwin and tested it on 2 PCs now. I felt I should share it. Heres how to install it.
Firstly you should install cygwin and xorg-base for cygwin.com
Download the fluxbox 1.0.0 tar bz2 file and extract the file into cygwins root.
tar -xvjf fluxbox-1.0.0.tar.bz2 -C /
Now add fluxbox to your ~/.xinitrc
file. Mine contains just the one line
fluxbox
Dont forget to ensure the defaultserverargs
value in the /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
file doesnt have the multiwindow
argument. I.e change the line
defaultserverargs="-multiwindow -clipboard"
to
defaultserverargs="-clipboard"
download knockaround guyYou should get something like this once you run startx

Currently I haven’t tried fluxbox 1.1.1 yet.
I will be on holiday for the next few weeks so I will not get a chance soon.
I will write a note to take a look when I get back though.
