jwm

Category: local-install (rebuilt only so archlinuxaba/the cluster gets it too; not maintained/adapted/owned by us — see arch/scripts/install_only_packages). Distinct from maintained/jwm-git (a different pkgname, tracked separately).

Lightweight X11 window manager.

Build notes (2026-08-17)

• Upstream AUR PKGBUILD declares arch=('x86_64') only.
• Tried extending to i686/pentium4, reverted. Both 32-bit arches fail at the final gcc -o jwm ... link step with undefined references from librsvg-2.so into libxml2 symbols (xmlNewEntity@LIBXML2_2.7.0 etc.) and from libpangocairo into fontconfig (FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute). x86_64 links cleanly against the same library set, so this is a broken/underlinked librsvg/pangocairo (or their libxml2/fontconfig deps) on the i686/pentium4 archlinuxaba repos, not anything wrong in jwm’s own PKGBUILD or build steps — nothing to fix here locally. Reverted arch=() back to plain x86_64 (byte-identical to upstream) and pkgrel back to plain 1 (no local deviation left, so no X.Y needed either) rather than carry a permanently-broken arch list. If the underlying 32-bit librsvg/pangocairo/libxml2/fontconfig repo packages ever get fixed, retry the i686/pentium4 addition.
• Same root cause hit again on gatotray-git’s i686 build (see memory/gatotray-git.md) — the fontconfig/libpangoft2 FcConfigSetDefaultSubstitute symbol mismatch. User is downgrading pango on the affected 32-bit machines (2026-08-17) to fix this at the source; retry both packages’ i686/pentium4 once that’s done.
• Otherwise a plain autotools build (./configure && make), no other issues. Also produces a jwm-debug package.
