I am using Hummingbird's Exceed X Server,
http://www.hummingbird.com/products/exceed/
I set the environment variable DISPLAY=:0
I installed the "X client libs for NT" from
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/
Fvwm needs xpm so I got that from:
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4j.tar.gz
Fvwm can be obtained from:
http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/
The steps to install are:
tar -xvzf package.tar.gz
cd package
xmkmf -a
make
make install
Sometimes the install target in the Makefile will have:
cp foo /usr/local/bin/foo
These need to be changed to:
cp foo.exe /usr/local/bin/foo.exe
There are some sample .fvwm2rc files included in the distribution,
copy one of these to your home directory.
If you run fvwm, you'll want to set the Exceed
Xconfig->Window Mode->window manager to X.
You'll need Sergey's coolview and remote.tar.gz.
