Hi,

I installed WindowMaker(0.95.7) and want to activate wmwifi dockapp. When I start it from Application -> Window Maker -> WiFi nothing happen. So I started it from xterm window. Below message is appear.

Error Message :
wmwifi: No wireless interface found!

I understand that in somewhere need to define wifi interface. Can't find proper information on web.

Does someone had similar issue and able find a solution.

Thanks.

It's broken, but appears to be easy to fix. Can you try building net/wmwifi with the attached patch applied?

The patch is against the port itself, so step 1 is wrong, but it doesn't matter since step 2 undos step 1.

You can apply the patch with e.g. svnlite patch --strip 2 /path/to/wmwifi.patch.txt or patch -V none -p3 -i /path/to/wmwifi.patch.txt when you are in /usr/ports/net/wmwifi

You cut off too much from the output. All useful and interesting bits are gone from it. ;)

script(1) can help with capturing the build output.
 
Thank you forester. That's a lot more useful. It seems there is also a problem with files/patch-configure.in. Can you delete it, run make clean, and try building it again?
