#motif #x11 #xfm 

moxfm is a motif version of X11's xfm:

https://github.com/ThomasAdam/moxfm

I've been "maintaining" it for years and recently put a plaster on it to compile on a modern C compiler.

There's plenty of other cleanup work to do.

But it functions.

See the screenshot attached.

@thomasadam Oh, damn, I wasn't aware of this fork and did my own work on making it compile with newer compilers.

Nice work, and great to see moxfm alive again. I built the current master on Slackware 15.0+ with Motif 2.5.2 and found a reproducible crash during first startup while displaying the installation dialog.

I’ve opened issue #2 (https://github.com/ThomasAdam/moxfm/issues/2) with the complete GDB backtrace.
