Posting this to questions is fine, IMO. freebsd-ports would also be
appropriate.

It compiles fine here (9.0-RELEASE amd64).

FD_ISSET is a macro in /usr/include/sys/select.h, at least on 9.0. Check if
that file exists and is readable.

Check if the file config.h[1] in the windowmaker source tree (generated by
configure) contains the line '#define HAVE_SELECT 1'.
[1: /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker/work/WindowMaker-0.95.2/config.h]
If this is not defined, and the file exists, it is a bug in the configure
script.

As a workaround, try removing the '#ifdef' and '#endif' lines around the '#
include <sys/select.h>' line in the file handlers.c[2], then re-start the
compilation process (by running 'make' from the port's directory). Don't
re-start the portmaster command, as that will undo your changes. If the build
goes OK, issue the command 'make install clean' from the port's directory.
