 why xfwm4-4.8.0 giving error even when i installed all its
dependencies<http://www.xfce.org/download/building>

*NOTE*:the xfconf package provides libxfconf, xfconf-query and xfconfd.

so xfwm4 one of dependency is :libxfconf
so i reinstalled xfconf[third package] again ,still xfwm4 giving
errors xfwm4-4.8.0
errors<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/collect2-ld-returned-1-exit-status-make%5B2%5D-***-%5Bxfwm4%5D-error-1-a-887487/>
can you help me plz


i think xfwm/xfwm4 is window manager[*note*:*if xfwm/xfwm4 is same like
fluxbox-i can skip this xfwm installation part right??.*]
i have already installed
Fluxbox-1.1.1<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/x/fluxbox.html>as
window manager
i think almost i done xfce desktop environment
to start xfce i need to change/add some thing to .xinitrc file right?
my xinitrc file:
root [ ~ ]# cat .xinitrc
startfluxbox

shall i add below things to *xinitrc* to start xfce desktop environment:

echo startxfce4 > ~/.xinitrc
echo xfce4-session > ~/.xinitrc
is this fine???
