has anyone successfully compiled fluxbox on OSX (Panther)? Mine fails with the following errors.
BTW, its not in fink, or fink-unstable.

Code:
fluxbox.cc: In member function `void Fluxbox::save_rc()': fluxbox.cc:1866: warning: long unsigned int format, int arg (arg 3) fluxbox.cc:1976: error: `B_EuropeanDate' undeclared (first use this function) fluxbox.cc:1976: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) fluxbox.cc: In member function `void Fluxbox::load_rc()': fluxbox.cc:2094: warning: long unsigned int format, int32_t arg (arg 3) fluxbox.cc: In member function `void Fluxbox::load_rc(BScreen*)': fluxbox.cc:2324: error: `B_AmericanDate' undeclared (first use this function) make[3]: *** [fluxbox.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2
it looks like localization is an issue, but I really have no idea what I'm looking at. any ideas? fluxbox is one of the last things on my OSX laundry list. thanks in advance!

thanks MG, but fluxbox is not in the stable or unstable trees for fink.

unless you have a link?

It was at one point. Yea, I am pissed. I think I was able to compile for 10.2 but having problems with 10.3 .

I hopped on the irc channel and spoke with a package maintainer. fluxbox can be had for osx through fink. you have to do this though:

add fink-unstable to your sources, and do

fink update-rsync.

worked perfectly for me!
