The error message for today indicates a line with C99 code. I've fixed that
so xffm should compile on non C99 now. Nothing to do with the previous
build errors you mention. I suppose those are now fixed.

I'll get the latest cvs and check.I'll report back.

Update:Still get the same error.I redirected my ./configure and make to
two files.I'll upload them,they may help.some stuff did not get redirected
tho.

For configure
./configure: line 24462: AUTHORS: command not found

For make

I can build all other parts of xfce from cvs but xffm.I'm using benny
installer version of xffm for now.

The error was another C99 code. It is now fixed at CVS so your compilation
should not stop at this point any more.
