Beyond the Sky

I have to write down this, reminder for me to compile fluxbox from source next time in future.

When getting error of defaults.hh, grep "defaults.hh" at src folder. It will leads you to the line at Makefile

# an extra dep for fluxbox
fluxbox.$(OBJEXT): defaults.hh

Some how OBJEXT is not define, thats the reason make fails.

Workaround:

export OBJEXT=o
make
