Go ahead CMake my day :)

 

Finally!!!!
I finally got the program to make using Cmake.  I finally had to go to
the #cmake on freenode.
Apparently the issue is that the normal Cmake scripts for FLTK don't
work at all.
So, while my program should have built easily days ago... it wouldn't. 
I tried everything.
Apparently, FLTK ships their OWN configure script that works!  Hurray!!
And once the cmake people let me know about this, the rest was sooooo
much easier.
And you can try it on your own machine now (if you want).  But this will
still require the build-essentials and the fltk depends.
But, now I can work on the package and the last few glaring pre-alpha
issues (which are not very many, to be honest).
There are also some defaults you will need to install yourself from the
data/ folder.  simply copy .jwmrc and  .jwm/  into your ~/
Of course you wont have the default wallpaper, because I chose a picture
from my computer...

So, we will need to narrow some things down to get this working fully. 
And I will also be adding in a terminal command, something like
jwm-settings-manager --restore
so the system can be recovered easily if something goes horribly wrong
(which I hope it wont... I have been trying to find every issue by
testing it in a number of ways).


Thanks everyone for your feedback through this, and being a place where
I can post these achievements!

Soon, very soon we will have a configuration program, that is good
enough for an alpha!
