remame the extracted source emwm-src-1.0 to EMWM-1.0
mv emwm-src-1.0 EMWM-1.0
compress to tar.gz:
tar -czvf EMWM-1.0.tar.gz EMWM-1.0
that would give a EMWM-1.0.tar.gz file
do the same for the other source
mv emwm-utils-src-1.0 EMWM-utils-1.0
tar -czvf EMWM-utils-1.0.tar.gz EMWM-utils-1.0
make the slackbuild executable
chmod +x EMWM.SlackBuild
chmod +x EMWM-utils.SlackBuild

What about the utils, did you try those? The sole reasons for wanting EMWM is that it is supposed to be easier to customize. I will try again later to recompile it - and if it does live up; then hopefully Pat might notice - and replace MWM with EMWM *fingers crossed*.

I have just built the packages and customized the root menu. Sadly I have no experience with mwm/emwm and I was surprised because I couldn't find any window decoration themes in cyberspace.

I admit I don't know either - does it or can it utilize those types of files that CDE uses (can't remember the file extension) - but they are essentially code (not actual images), but it generates a 'backdrop', and some look kinda cool. Also I just wanted an easier way of tweaking the colors and such, because again tl;dr on the manual, and I couldn't find anything in the manpages for MWM as there was so much to go through.
i think you made a mistake with EMWM-utils.Slackbuild it build fine, are you sure you use the right source? you can copy the EMWM-utils and EMWM-utils source code and slack-desc to another directory and run the slackbuild from there.
You are right again - I have no excuse even if it was late last night - and I wasn't even drunk... It compiled now after redownloading the RIGHT file..... dopey me...again
Well I am in EMWM......nothing different, and I even got the utils installed but nothing in the context menu on the utils ... sooo ........ yea my stupidity is rearing up again...Now what am I missing?
Has virtual desktops been aded to EMWM? Because that's the one thing stopping me from using EMWM right now. I recall the guy maintaining the fork said he was going to add it eventually.

Didn't MWM have multiple desktop/workspace support at some point in time?
MWM had it all along, and the code is still there, albeit currently disabled, because it is implemented on top of Sun's IPC. The old code can be eventually repurposed for an EWMH based implementation. Then again, while it was a desirable feature when all you had was a 14" CRT with 800x600 pixel resolution, with screen space available nowadays I personally don't care for it at all.
